Environmental Assessment Determinations and Compliance Findings for HUD -assisted Projects 24 CFR Part 58 West Kawili Street SeniorNeteran Housing (in 1999 by Scientific Consultant Services, Inc.) confirmed grubbing on the southern portion of the proposed project area, which eliminated most of the previously recorded surface features. In an effort to update the existing historic record of the site, ASMAfliates conducted an Assessment Study by gathering and analyzing a range of resources including archival research, a site inspection, and consultation with appropriate parties. The assessment then provided the Agency with recommendations in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (2006) and its implementing regulations (36 CFR 800). The Assessment is included in Exhibit K. To meet these requirements, the Agency initiated consultation with the SHPO with a letter dated April 13, 2020, requesting agreement with the APE. Upon conclusion of consultation with Native Hawaiian Organizations, the Agency sent a letter requesting concurrence with a determination of 'no historic properties affected' on August 7th, 2020 and emailed the determination to SHPO again on September 24th, 2020. The SHPO provided confirmation of receipt of the determination letter via email that same day. OHCD received a written response dated January 28, 2021 from the SHPO concurring with this determination (see Exhibit K). Seventeen NHOs who were presumed to have religious and cultural attachments, knowledge of, or an interest in the APE were also contacted by letter on April 14th.
