18. U.S.D.A. Soil Survey: Ke`ei slightly decomposed plant material, 3 to 10 percent slopes. <br /> 19. Flora and Fauna Resources: According to Starr Environmental 2017, the proposed <br /> tower facility will be established within an area of the property that consist of pahoehoe <br /> lava rock covered with little soil. The common vegetation is primarily `uluhe fern <br /> (Dicranopteris linearis), `ohi`a lehua trees (Metrosideros polymorpha), and various wild <br /> orchids. <br /> 20. Archaeological/Historic/Cultural Resources: A Cultural Resources Review, field <br /> inspection, and consultation with native Hawaiian organizations was completed by ACE <br /> Environmental, LLC and included in a report dated February 5, 2022. The archival <br /> research and literature search indicate that there are no historic properties located within <br /> the 0.5-mile radius of the area of potential effects (APE). The archaeological field <br /> inspection conducted by SCS confirmed there will be no direct impact to any <br /> archaeological sites and that there will be no added indirect visual impacts from the <br /> construction of the proposed cellular tower. In a letter dated April 4, 2022, the <br /> Department of Land and Natural Resources-State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) <br /> concurred that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed project. <br /> 21. Public Access: There is no designated public access to the mountain or shoreline that <br /> runs through the property. <br /> PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES <br /> 22. Roadway Access: Access to the facility will be from Kaumana Drive which is a County <br /> owned and maintained roadway. The proposed access road will be ten (10)- foot wide <br /> and approximately one hundred thirty (130)-foot long. The access road will be <br /> intentionally curved so that the natural landscaping could be used to hide the ground <br /> equipment. The applicant proposes to finish the access road with compacted gravel and <br /> install a locking gate to discourage trespassers. The Department of Public Works (DPW) <br /> recommends that a DPW approved driveway apron be installed as they have no record <br /> that one has been installed in the area. Furthermore, any construction within the County <br /> right-of-way will need to comply with Chapter 22, County Streets of the Hawai`i County <br /> Code. <br /> 23. Water: The proposed use does not require water. <br /> 24. Wastewater: This use will not generate wastewater. <br /> 4 <br />
