Pursuant to County drainage requirements, appropriate drywell <br /> and/or similar means to capture runoff from any improvements <br /> will be built, if necessary, in conjunction with the development <br /> of the property. <br /> 2. Volcanic Earthquake and Tsunami Hazards <br /> According to the United States Geological Survey maps, the <br /> project site is located within Lava Flow Hazard Zone 3; on a <br /> scale of ascending risks 9 to 1. <br /> The Building Code designates the entire Island of Hawaii <br /> Earthquake Zone "D" and contains certain structural <br /> requirements to address the relative seismic hazard. All <br /> structures would have to comply with this standard. <br /> 3. Tsunami Hazard <br /> As the site is located 1.7 miles from the ocean and sits at the <br /> 350 to 365-foot elevation, it is located outside of the Civil <br /> Defense's Tsunami Evacuation Zone. <br /> D. Flora/Fauna <br /> The vegetation on the site is relatively thick and is dominated by <br /> guava saplings and scattered ohi'a with an understory of uluhe. <br /> Introduced species typical of disturbed roadsides are present along <br /> Mohouli Street. <br /> The suburban nature of the surrounding areas would make it less <br /> likely to find endangered animal life in this area. It would be possible <br /> to find the Island-wide ranging Hawaiian Hawk (Vo), Hawaiian Cwt <br /> (Pueo), Hawaiian Goose (Nene), and the Hawaiian Hoary Bat on site, <br /> however this is not their main habitat. <br /> In addition, introduced bird species (such as clove, Japanese White- <br /> eye, house finch, myna) are common in this area. Domestic animals <br /> such as cats and dogs, and other animals like rats, pigs and <br /> mongoose are also common. These are all common and not <br /> endangered. <br /> As such, it is unlikely that the development of the subject property <br /> would cause any adverse faunal impacts. <br /> 9 <br />
