Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System: Soils <br /> <br /> within the subject property are classified as "Unique Agricultural Land" by the ALISH <br /> System. "Unique Agricultural Land" are lands that have the special combination of <br /> <br /> soil quality, location, growing season and moisture supply and which is used to <br /> <br /> produce sustained high quality and/or high yields of a specific crop when treated and <br /> managed according to modem farming methods. <br /> <br /> 17.

'Alala Recovery Plan: This plan dated October 28, 1982, prepared and approved by <br /> the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in cooperation with the 'Alala Recovery Team, <br /> <br /> recommends that certain selected essential habitats be preserved and properly managed <br /> to provide for the continued existence and growth of the population of the 'Alala, an <br /> <br /> endangered bird whose population has reached an extremely critical state. The Central <br /> Kona area along the north and west slopes of Hualalai is considered to be the center of <br /> <br /> concentration for breeding 'Alala. The Plan recommends that portion of the lands of <br /> <br /> Kaloko above approximately 3,200 feet to 3,400 feet elevation, including all parcels in <br /> Blocks 8 thru 13 of Kaloko Mauka Subdivision, be designated as essential habitat for <br /> <br /> the 'Alala. Once such a habitat is "secured", a specific management plan for each <br /> habitat needs to be developed which would address the improvement of food supplies, <br /> <br /> protection from grazing, predators and wildfires, and other management and <br /> monitoring activities to provide for a stable and secure environment for the recovery of <br /> <br /> the 'Alala. The subject property is located at an elevation of approximately 2,500 feet <br /> above mean sea level, below the elevation recommended as an essential habitat. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -3- <br />
