(2) locations along Akoni Pule Highway to provide water for the proposed project's <br /> homes and fire hydrants. The capacity of the private system is adequate to accommodate <br /> the additional demand to serve the project's six lots, which is expected to be a maximum <br /> of 1,000 gallons per day. Additionally, restrictive covenants, placed on the development <br /> by the owner, will require homes utilize low-flow fixtures, roof run-off for irrigation, as <br /> well as low-water-use landscaping. <br /> 31. Wastewater: Since no municipal wastewater treatment service is available in Kohala, the <br /> proposed development will utilize individual wastewater treatment systems meeting with <br /> the requirements of the State Department of Health. All six (6) residential structures will <br /> use systems such as the Cyclic Biological Treatment (CBT) system. Effluent will be <br /> disposed of in leach fields, and upon passage through the leach fields, the effluent would <br /> travel downward though unsaturated lava flows and to the existing basal groundwater to <br /> discharge along the property's shoreline. It should be noted that the removal of TN (Total <br /> Nitrogen; nitrate, nitrite, ammonia) and TP (Total Phosphorous; dissolved and organic <br /> phosphorus) from the effluent under these proposed conditions is estimated to be 70% <br /> and 90% respectively. The applicant states that these systems meet and exceed the <br /> requirements of the State DOH as well as reducing the level of residual nutrients in the <br /> groundwater system. <br /> 32. Solid Waste: Solid waste from the proposed development will be hauled by residents <br /> and/or collected and hauled by commercial disposal operators to the County's West <br /> Hawai'i Sanitary landfill in Puuanahulu, which has several decades of capacity. Based <br /> on the mitigation summary for the proposed project it was stated that the owner will <br /> prepare a Solid Waste Management Plan prior to securing Final Subdivision Approval. <br /> 33. Utilities and Services: Electrical power would be supplied to the project area by Hawai'i <br /> Electric Light Company (HELCO) via its island-wide distribution network. In the project <br /> area the network utilizes overhead lines in a utility easement that runs parallel to and <br /> approximately 2,000 feet east (mauka) of Akoni Pule Highway. Telephone service is <br /> available from Hawaiian Telecom, also located in the nearby utility easement. <br /> Underground connections to those utilities will be established for the project along the <br /> 13 <br />
