systems from the site should not be significant. Further, being a non- coastal property, no coastal access will be affected. Septic tanks or their equivalent meeting with the approval of the State Department of Health will be installed in conjunction with the construction of any dwelling on the site. Noise, Air Quality, and Dust Ho.ohoaloha Street will serve as the main access to all of the proposed lots. The existing ambient traffic level in this area is quite low. As such, the corresponding noise level should be quite low. With the completion of this project, the noise level is not anticipated to increase significantly. There may, however, be short-term noise impacts associated with the construction of any required infrastructure or dwellings on the proposed lots. In that event, contractors will be required to comply with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the State Department of Health. The proposed development should not generate any direct air quality impacts. The only discernible air quality impact could be associated with the vehicular traffic to and from the site. While there will be an impact to the ambient air quality, the impact should not be significant, as the project will increase the density by only two (2) additional units. Further, with higher EPA standards for automobile air emissions, the air quality impact should therefore not be significant. As such, with the exception of potential construction dust associated with any future dwelling, the short and long term dust generated by the project should be minimal. Construction dust, however, like construction noise will have to comply with the State Department of Health's regulations. J. Scenic and Visual Considerations In the Natural Beauty element of the General Plan, there are sites or areas listed as being a scenic resource. The subject site is not listed as a scenic site. However, there were a few examples cited in the Hilo area, such as the view of Mauna Kea. 9
