should not suggest any culturally-valued resources. However, in the <br /> unlikely event that legitimate gathering claims are made by native <br /> Hawaiians, the Applicants intend to respect and honor such claims and <br /> provide the needed access within the site. <br /> Further, there is no designated or known access on the subject property <br /> to either the shoreline or mountain. <br /> Based on the above, it does not appear that the project would have any <br /> potential adverse impact relative to the cultural and historical resources of <br /> the area. <br /> G. Water and Coastal Resources <br /> The subject site is located over six (6) miles from the coastline. As such, <br /> coastal impacts resulting from discharge of wastewater systems from the <br /> site should not be significant. Further, being a non-coastal property, no <br /> coastal access will be affected. <br /> Wastewater from the project will be serviced with a private wastewater <br /> disposal system meeting with the approval and requirements of the State <br /> Department of Health. This will probably be a septic system or equivalent <br /> for each of the lots. <br /> H. Noise, Air Quality, and Dust <br /> The Old Mamalahoa Highway borders the north end of the subject site <br /> and will serve as the main access to five (5) of the proposed six (6) lot <br /> project. This Highway, however, is used more for local traffic, as this <br /> former "around the island" roadway was replaced by the Belt Highway. <br /> The Belt Highway is located further north, and impacts will probably be <br /> more from that Highway instead of the Old Mamalahoa Highway. <br /> As the Belt Highway is the major island highway, the ambient traffic level <br /> in this area can be periodically high, especially by commercial trucks. As <br /> such, because this project will generate only five (5) more agricultural <br /> lots, the corresponding traffic noise level generated by this project should <br /> not be significant. <br /> There may, however, be short-term noise impacts associated with the <br /> construction of some of the required infrastructure (such as water <br /> systems) for the proposed subdivision. Contractors will be required to <br /> comply with appropriate noise and related mitigation measures of the <br /> State Department of Health. <br /> 9 <br />
