15[4-3].To protect `6hi`a trees from Rapid `Ohi`a Death (ROD) on the subject property, the Applicant shall comply with the following protocols: 1)Prior to clearing the edges of the quarry, any isolated `6hi`a trees on the boundary will be identified. Any such trees that are not planned for removal on the edges of the quarry will be protected from disturbance entirely or cut and chipped or buried to ensure that they do not present a ready target for ROD infection that could spread to other trees; 2)treat any unavoidable scars on `6hi`a trees that result from clearing to prevent infestation of the fungus; 3) stack all removed `6hi`a trees and dispose of by burying or chipping; do not remove from project site; and 4) decontaminate boots and work tools before and after working in an area with `6hi`a trees. 16[4-4].In the event that surface or subsurface historic resources, including human skeletal remains, structural remains (e.g., rock walls, terraces, platforms, etc.), cultural deposits, marine shell concentrations, sand deposits, or sink holes are identified during the land clearing or quarry operations, the Applicant shall cease work in the immediate vicinity of the find, protect the find from additional disturbance and contact the State Historic Preservation Division at(808) 933-7651. Subsequent work shall proceed upon an archaeological clearance from DLNR-SHPD when it finds that sufficient mitigation measures have been taken. 17[4-5.].Within ninety (90) days after termination of the quarry operation or abandonment of the project site, the Applicant shall submit to the Planning Department appropriate documentation which demonstrates compliance with the DLNR approved closure/site reclamation plan. 18. Within four months from the effective date of this permit, the Applicant shall commence development of a permit site closure plan meeting with the approval of the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, in consultation with Keaukaha Pana`ewa Farmers Association (KPFA) and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL). The closure plan shall include mitigation efforts to leave the permit site in a non- hazardous condition. The closure plan shall include consideration for Hawaiian Home Commission Act(HHCA)beneficiaries, who reside or will reside in the KPFA community on HHCA lands in Pana`ewa.
