• USDA Rural Development has obligated loan and grant funds of $2,437,000 and $4,024,800 respectively to this project. USDA’s Amendment 1 (dated 07/25/18) provided additional loan and grant funding to cover cost overruns. An additional loan of $3,699,000 and grant of $1,071,000 were added to the original agreement. The low construction bid received was $8,531,814. D. KEALAKEHE WWTP EFFLUENT R-1 UPGRADE: • The Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS) that is required by SHPD is proceeding. The AIS report to SHPD was completed in early December 2019. SHPD is requiring a 30-day consultation period due to cultural sites that have been identified. The findings from the 30-day consultation period are being finalized into the AIS. The completed AIS will be submitted to SHPD by 02/28/20. • Aliʻi Drive Salinity Study: Work on sampling salinity for iden?fying if seawater intrusion is infiltrating faulty sewer pipelines along Aliʻi Drive has begun. Results of this effort will be presented at the March 2020 EMC meeting.  The project has been placed “on-hold” by the mayor because of funding issues and the Maui County (Lahaina WWTP Injection Wells) Supreme Court appeal.  Final R-1 treatment construction documents are being prepared but placed “on-hold.” • The constructed wetlands 50% design has been completed. • The SAT 50% design has been completed. Consultant will perform a 6-month pilot-scale SAT for longer-term phosphorus removal data once project is given the okay to proceed. • The long-range plans for R-1 quality effluent began in 2007 as a phased approach. Phase I work installed a reuse line along Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway between the Kohanaiki area and Kealakehe Parkway (completed in 2018). • DOH has earmarked SRF monies in the amount of $54 million to fund both design and construction of the R-1 upgrade at the Kealakehe WWTP. • Received SRF commitment letter for outside fence line (OSFL) consultant contract (Brown and Caldwell). DOH is trying to fund projects on a fiscal year basis, and this has slowed down their execution of the SRF commitment letter. Contract has been placed “on-hold” by the mayor. • Hina Lani DWS 1 MG Reservoir (tank) transfer to DEM is awaiting NTP of the R- 1 OSFL consultant design contract. E. NORTH KONA SEWER PUMP STATION • This new sewer pump station will be located on the mauka side of Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway. It is to receive wastewater from a portion of the area below Ane Keohokalole Highway between Hina Lani Street and Kealakehe Parkway. The wastewater will be pumped to the Kealakehe WWTP via new force mains. The new sewer pump station is scheduled to be complete in July 2022. 11
