The subject parcel is located along the makai side of Hawaii Belt Road along a private access easement, approximately 1,300 feet south of the intersection of Leopolino Road and Hawaii Belt Road, Kamae`e & Wailua Government Tract, North Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 3-1-001:008. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT I. Request: The applicant seeks a SMA Use Permit to plant, cultivate, and maintain and 3.25-acre Ulu orchard, construct a single story, three (3) bedroom, three (3) bathroom, 2910 square foot (sf) single family residence (SFR) with an 831-sf two (2) car garage; additional development incudes an entry, a 12' x 30' foot pool, and a lanai. The applicant is also concurrently working to obtain an Additional Farm Dwelling Agreement (AFDA) in order to construct a single story, two (2) bedroom, two (2) bathroom, —1500-sf Additional Farm Dwelling (AFD) to support the future agricultural activities on the property. The applicant is also proposing to construct a 1200-sf storage shed for farm equipment, a 100-sf pump house, and a 150-sf chicken coop. The SFR site is flat and will require minimal grading, with any excavated soil to remain on site and used for landscaping. The existing gravel road and paths will be used with the one extension to the main dwelling. Water will be provided for initial construction and use by the residence from a well to be located on the parcel. Wastewater will be managed by the development of a State Department of Health (DOH) approved Individual Wastewater System (IWS). The construction of the AFD would utilize electricity initially supplied to the site by HELLO. A solar array will power the dwelling once completed. On completion, the solar -1- system will be grid-tied with battery backup system. The applicant also plans to establish a working Ulu orchard using the existing rows to be smoothed flat for cultivation. Once the trees are planted, there will be no digging or disruption to the soil except for a small section of road to the primary dwelling; existing roads will be utilized to support the farming operation. The applicant estimates it will take five (5) years for the orchard to produce commercial quality fruit. The anticipated annual yield will be 78,900 pounds and will be sold to the Hawaii "Ulu Cooperative. The approximate .724-acre section between the primary farm dwelling and the shoreline (Pali) will be planted in Vetiver grass for use as livestock feed in Hawai'i County. Staff notes that a portion of the subject parcel lies within the State Land Use (SLU) Conservation District, however, there will be no development within that area, only within the SLU Agricultural district (Planning Department Exhibit 1 — SMA Use Permit Application Packet dated July 17,2023). 2. Project Objectives: The purpose of the project is to develop a working Ulu farm to support the landowner. 3. Cost/Time of Project: The current estimated cost of the improvements is $1,662,500.00. The project will begin as soon as all permits and approvals are granted. 4. Landowner: Hana U'i LLC BACKGROUND INFORMATION 5. Chapter 343, HRS: The proposed improvements are not subject to the requirements of Chapter 343, Hawai`i Revised Statutes regarding Environmental Impact Statements as there is no work proposed within the either the Conservation District or the Shoreline Setback Area. STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 6. State Land Use Designation: Conservation and Agricultural. 7. General Plan LUPAG MAP: Open (ope) and Important Agricultural Lands (ial). 8. County Zoning: A-20a (Agricultural, 20-acres). 9. Hamakua Community Development Plan (HCDP): The Hamakua Community Development Plan was adopted by the Hawaii County Council by Ordinance No. 18-078 on August 22, 2018. -2- 10. Special Management Area (SMA): The project is located within the Special Management Area and therefore, the proposed development is subject to the SMA review. There have been no previous SMA permits or approvals on this parcel. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREAS AND SURROUNDING AREA 11. Subject Project Area: The subject parcel is entered on the mauka/northwestem corner from a private portion of the Old Mamalahoa Highway. Proceeding easterly —100 yards, the lot drops down to an elevation of—190 feet above sea level. At that point, the lot has a gentle slope downwards to the edge of the shoreline Pali, —180 feet above sea level. Starting from the northeastern corner of the lot, the shoreline Pali is a vertical cliff that extends for—400 feet meandering to the south, where it transitions to a slope that forms the Hakalau gulch Pali at the northern edge of Hakalau Bay. 12. Surrounding Land Zoning/Uses: The subject parcel is bordered by a private road to the west, directly adjacent to, parallel and abutting the Hawai'i Belt Highway. The property is bordered to the north by a residence on a two-acre parcel with similar A-20a zoning. The eastern side abuts the Pacific Ocean, bordered by a vertical Pali. The southern side of the lot abuts Hakalau Bay, buffered with a steep slope that is part of the Hakalau Gulch. The Conservation portion of the lot commences where the vertical shoreline Pali transitions to the slope of the Hakalau gulch down to the shoreline, forming a portion of Hakalau Bay. 13. Soil Type: The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies the soil on the north half of subject property Parcel 008 as Hilo hydrous silty clay loam. Typically, this soil is composed of hydrous silty clay loam from zero to 60 inches below ground surface. It is found on slopes of zero to 10 percent between sea level and 1,100 feet elevation and is well-drained. 14. Land Study Bureau's Detailed Land Classification System: The project site is listed as both "E" (Very Poor) and "C" (Fair) which correspond to the SLU Conservation District(E) and the SLU Agricultural District(C). 15. Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) System: A section of the subject parcel is listed as "1" (Prime) with the remainder considered "unclassified" on the ALISH Map. -3- 16. Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM): The entire property above the pali is classified in Flood Zone X. 17. Flora/Fauna Resources: No formal biological survey of the subject parcel was conducted, however, the applicant states that vegetation on the proposed project site is a dense variety of non-native overgrowth such as grasses (i.e., guinea grass and centipede grass), and trees (Gunpowder, African Tulip, Ironwood). Hau has overgrown the gulch Pali on to the agricultural area. Although no professional flora and fauna surveys have been performed, the applicant does not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are located on site as the property has a history of sugarcane cultivation and development related to the transport of sugar cane for processing at the nearby Hakalau Bay Sugar Mill. 18. Archaeological Resources: The applicant submitted their project for State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) review in accordance with Hawaii Revised Statutes Ch. 6E-42. Only one structure (storage structure) which was associated with the Hakalau Sugar Mill is considered a Historic Property pursuant to HRS Ch. 6E-2 and was assigned SIHP No. 50-10-16-31388 as significant under criterion for its association with Sugar Mill production in Hawaii. The Applicant will utilize the three (3) walled concrete structure as a storage facility for the proposed agricultural activities. Based on SHPD review of the site and its proposed use they have determined that no historic properties will be affected by the proposed project (Planning Department Exhibit 2 —August 24, 2023, Letter); SHPD supports the continued use of the structure, thus concluding the historic review process. 19. Cultural/Historic Resources: Due to the significant ground disturbance and land modification associated with over 100 years of sugar cane agricultural pursuits the applicant has stated that they do not believe any resources exist on the subject parcel other than the shoreline or stream area, both of which are steep and overgrown and difficult to access. The applicant plans to support native agriculture by planting the farm with Ulu as part of the Hawai'i 'Ulu Cooperative. 20. Recreational/Scenic and Open Space Resources: The subject property is not visible from any public thoroughfares. The access road itself is a private road and not a public -4- thoroughfare. The parcel lies makai of the Hawai'i Belt Hwy at the north end of the Hakalau bridge. To connect the Hawai'i Belt Highway to the north end of the Hakalau bridge, a substantial road cut was made in the landscape. Because of this elevation change, the property is not visible from the highway. There are no scenic views and consequently there no impact on scenic views as a result of the development. Therefore, the proposed project would not impact scenic or open space resources. Where the property abuts the Pacific Ocean and Hakalau Bay, the vertical slope of the shoreline Pali and steep slope of the Hakalau Gulch Pali as it transitions to the side of the gulch makes any past shoreline access highly improbable. Hakalau Park, lying on the other side of Hakalau Bay,provides shoreline access and a recreation area for the public. 21. Coastal Hazards: The property is located within Flood Zone X, outside of the 500-year flood area, and is not located within the tsunami inundation zone. Since the subject property is located a minimum of 170 feet above mean sea level. The Pali of the adjacent property experienced catastrophic sloughing in 2015. Sometime in 2018, the Pali on the subject parcel also experienced sloughing to a much lesser degree. According to recent findings in a report prepared by the US Geological Survey, in conjunction with the University of Hawai'i, the most"aggressive" episodic sloughing over an extended period is forecast to be 8-inches per year (8-in/yr.). To mitigate this risk, the applicant is proposing to place the Primary Farm Dwelling 160' from the Pali edge. Based on current projections,if aggressive sloughing were to continue, it would take 240 years to reach the dwelling. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to sow vetiver grass in the 3/4 acre area adjacent to the vertical Pali which should help stabilize the entire area and produce livestock feed in the process. Lastly, the applicant plans to selectively prune the Hau at the Pali edge which may serve to strengthen the Hau, promoting root and stem vigor to help stabilize and preserve the Pali. PUBLIC UTILITIES AND SERVICES 22. Access: The site is accessed from a private portion of the Old Mamalahoa Hwy, running makai and parallel to Hwy 19. 23. Water: No municipal water service is provided to the property. The proposed project includes constructing an on-site water well for potable water uses as well as for irrigation. -5- 24. Wastewater: No municipal wastewater service is provided to the parcel. Wastewater will be treated by a DOH approved individual wastewater system (IWS) located adjacent to the residence and AFD. 25. Other Essential Utilities and Services: The proposed residence will be powered by an existing HELCO connection and will supplement energy needs with Photovoltaic (PV) System proposed in the future.

Exhibit 1 Hana U'I LLC'Ulu Orchard and residence SMA application 31-144 Hawai'i Belt Rd, Hakalua, HI TMK: TMK 3-3-1-001-008-0000 A. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT: We are proposing planting, cultivating and maintaining an 'Ulu orchard on 3.25 acres,vetiver on % acre, a farm dwelling, an additional farm dwelling, a storage shed, a small well pump housing and a chicken coop. The site is located just north of the Hakalua bridge in an existing platted subdivision;TMK 3-3-1-001-008-0000. The street address recently assigned to this vacant land is 31-144 Hawaii Belt Road.The site is accessed from a private portion of the Old Mamalahoa Hwy, running makai and parallel to Hwy 19.This parcel is located in the Special Management Area (SMA). The entire 7.347-acre property is zoned Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a) by the County. A 5.263 portion of this parcel is designated Agricultural by the State Land Use Commission.The remaining 2.03 acre portion lies within the State Land Use Conservation district.This entire project would take place exclusively within the State Land Use Agricultural District.There will be no development in the Conservation area. The proposed project encompasses the following: 1. The planting, cultivating and maintaining of an 'Ulu (Breadfruit) orchard of approximately 263 trees on 3.25 irrigated acres. 2. The planting, cultivating and maintaining of vetiver on .724 acres as a livestock feed crop that will also help stabilize the Pali 3. The construction of a farm dwelling; single story, three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2799 square ft home with an attached 831 square foot two car garage. Including the lanais, entrance and garage, the total accessory square footage is 2075. 4. The construction of an additional farm dwelling; single story, two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 744 square foot living area and 732 square accessory structure area. 5. The construction of a 2400 square foot storage shed for farm equipment. 6. The construction of a 100 square foot well/irrigation pump station 7. The construction of a 150 square foot chicken coop. 1 B. A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Parcel Characteristics Located within the SMA,the lot is entered on the mauka/northwestern corner at an elevation of—220 feet above sea level from a private portion of the Old Mamalahoa Highway. Proceeding easterly—100 yards, the lot drops down to an elevation of—190 feet above sea level. At that point,the lot has a gentle slope downwards to the edge of the shoreline Pali, —180 feet above sea level. Starting from the northeastern corner of the lot, the shoreline Pali is a vertical cliff that extends for—400 feet meandering to the south, where it transitions to a slope that forms the Hakalau gulch Pali at the northern edge of Hakalau Bay as shown on the recent survey, attached as Exhibit 1. The parcel is bordered by a private road to the west, directly adjacent to, parallel and abutting the Hawaii Belt Highway. The property is bordered to the north by a residence on a two-acre parcel. The eastern side of the lot abuts the Pacific Ocean, bordered by a vertical sea Pali. The southern side of the lot abuts Hakalau Bay, buffered with a steep slope that is part of the Hakalau Gulch. The Conservation portion of the lot commences where the vertical shoreline Pali transitions to the slope of the Hakalua gulch down to the shoreline, forming a portion of Hakalau Bay.This Conservation area is located on the southern portion of the parcel. The majority of the lot is relatively flat and lies within the Agricultural District. There will be no development in the Conservation District. The boundary determination provided by the State of Hawaii Office of Coastal and Conservation Lands is shown in Exhibit 2. The property is entirely located within Flood Zone X, areas determined to be outside of the 0.2% annual chance floodplain (FEMA FIRM panel 1551660450F).The property is not located within the tsunami evacuation zone. Observations of the site did not reveal any areas of channelized flow, hydric soils or plants, or areas where water ponds or collects, suggesting that stormwater runoff is infiltrated effectively into the site's soils under normal conditions, implying that only during very heavy rainfall events may stormwater runoff leave the subject property. Although the parcel is zoned A-20a, it is located in a subdivision that appears to have been platted in 2002. This parcel is lot 16 in the subdivision plat, shown in Exhibit 3. Planned Development: 1) 'Ulu Orchard development. We are proposing the establishment of an'Ulu orchard in the Agricultural District, projected to contain 263 trees, planted on 30 'centers. The soil in the area is ideal for growing'Ulu. The fruit does well in a diversified range of soil types including sandy coastal conditions, sandy clay loam soil and in younger lava-rock soil. Geological sampling at the site to depths 9 to 9.5 feet below the existing grade revealed topsoil to 18 inches, underlain by Brown sandy(Cinder) silt (Pohala Ash -Geotechnical Investigation Report dated 6/11/2023— Construction Engineering Labs Inc.). 2 'Ulu also likes rainfall in the range of 60"-157" per year.The rainfall map noted in Exhibit 4 shows an average rainfall at this site to be 130"to 160" inches per year. Temperatures between 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit are optimal for growing "Ulu. Nighttime temperature should not drop below 55 degrees. All of these parameters make this site ideal for"Ulu production as shown in Exhibit 5. To prep the site for farming and construction, all invasive trees (majority are gunpowder trees with a few African tulips and four Ironwood trees)will be removed and the stumps will be ground flush to the ground.The Hau that has overgrown the Hakalua Gulch Pali into Agricultural District will be trimmed back. No ground or soil would be disturbed (grubbing etc.)within the shoreline setback. No heavy machinery will be used within the shoreline setback. See Exhibit 6 for the invasive tree removal and pruning plan. Prior to planting, an irrigation system will be installed to insure against drought conditions in El Nino years like what is currently being experienced in 2023. Polyethylene pipe commonly used for irrigation will be installed 6- 12 inches below the surface to allow for routine mowing and tree maintenance. Irrigation will ensure the crop will produce optimally in dry years.The orchard will be irrigated from a well drilled at the northwestern corner of the site (see attached site plans, Exhibit 7a and 7b). In addition to irrigation, the water will be used for both farm dwellings. 2135 linear feet of pig fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the Agricultural District portion of the parcel (as shown on the site plan). Although left fallow for the last few years,the site had been used to cultivate sweet potatoes rotating with ginger. Very little grading will be required to plant the orchard.The existing rows will be smoothed flat. Once the trees are planted, there will be no digging or disruption to the soil. Except for a small section of road to the primary dwelling, existing roads onsite will be used to support the farming operation. It will take five years for the orchard to produce commercial quality fruit.The anticipated annual yield will be 78,900 pounds and will be sold to the Hawaii "Ulu Cooperative.The current market value of the projected yield, selling to the cooperative is$98,625. A productive orchard net (pre-tax) annual income is projected to be $16,936 or a 17.2%gross margin. The approximate .724-acre section between the primary farm dwelling and the shoreline (cliff) Pali will be planted in Vetiver. Although this row crop and many uses, the likely best market will be its highly nutritious leaves for use as livestock feed in Hawaii County.The project Site Plan is attached as Exhibit 7a and 7b. 2) Primary Farm Dwelling We are proposing the construction of the primary farm dwelling to be situated to be setback a minimum of 160' mauka of the shoreline Pali at—190' above sea level.This location lies along the northeastern lot boundary.The area proposed for construction is relatively flat. See Exhibit 7a for the site plan. The proposed farm dwelling unit will be a single story, three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2799 square ft home with an attached 831 square foot, two car garage.The dwelling will also contain a 12'x30' pool. Including the lanais, 3 entrance and garage, the total accessory square footage is 2075.The floor plan of the Primary Farm Dwelling can be viewed in Exhibit 8. Construction Engineering Labs (CEL) was commissioned to conduct an onsite study to formulate the foundation plan. CEL recommends the use of pier foundations extending to the underlying soft rock stratum.The dwelling site is flat and will require minimal grading. Any excavated soil will remain onsite and used for landscaping. As noted in the site plan, the existing gravel roads will be used. One portion will be extended to reach the Primary Farm Dwelling. The construction of the dwelling would utilize electricity initially supplied to the site by HELCO. A solar array will power the dwelling once completed along with at least one electric vehicle. Upon completion, the solar system will be grid-tied with battery backup system. Water would be provided for initial construction and use by the residence from a well permitted by the State, located in the northwest corner of the lot. Wastewater would be managed with the construction of an on-site individual wastewater system (IWS) permitted by the State Department of Health. A silt fence bordering all soil-disturbing activities will be used during construction.The Accessory building will be constructed first, used for storage of construction materials and vehicles. A chemical containment area and spill kit would be placed in the stabilized construction area for storage of hazardous materials such as fuels. 3) Additional Farm Dwelling We are proposing the construction of an additional farm dwelling; single story, two-bedroom,two bathroom, 744 square foot living area and 732 square accessory structure area is being proposed to house farm workers. This structure will be located in the upper northwest portion of the lot near the entrance.The dwelling will be located ^250'from the top of Hakalau Gulch Pali (to the south and the top of the Hakalau gulch), —570'from the Hakalau Bay shoreline at an elevation of^220 feet above sea level. The floorplan can be viewed in Exhibit 9. Construction Engineering Labs (CEL) was commissioned to conduct an onsite study to formulate the foundation plan. Since the topsoil is only 1-1.5' deep in this area, CEL recommends the use of a slab on grade with minimal structural fill brought in to support the slab.The dwelling site is flat and will require minimal grading. All excavated soil removed to be replaced with structural fill will remain onsite and used for landscaping. As denoted in the site plan,the existing gravel road passing directly in front of the proposed site will be used. The construction of the dwelling would utilize electricity initially supplied to the site by HELCO. A solar array will power the dwelling once completed. On completion,the solar system will be grid-tied with battery backup system. Water would be provided for initial construction and use by the residence from a well permitted by the State, located in the northwest corner of the lot. 4 Wastewater would be managed with the construction of an on-site individual wastewater system (IWS) permitted by the State Department of Health. A silt fence bordering all soil-disturbing activities would be used during construction. The Accessory building will be constructed first, used for storage of construction materials and vehicles. A chemical containment area and spill kit would be placed in the stabilized construction area for storage of hazardous materials such as fuels. 4) Farm Accessory Building We are proposing the construction of a 2250 square foot storage shed to store farm equipment, equipment maintenance and supplies.The lean-to style roof will be fitted with solar panels for the irrigation pump described below. The accessory building will be built within the walls an existing structure that remains on the property from past sugar farming operations. The structure was used as a staging area for trucked in sugar cane to be loaded on to a flume that at one time traversed the property. More details of the history of this structure is discussed later in this report. The concrete structure is composed of three walls and has no floor or roof. The length is—80' (west side) is—8' high. The north side wall is ^3' high and extends^30' in length.The south side wall tapers from 8' in height to 3' in height and is also extends to 30' in length. Although the concrete appears to be in excellent shape, the walls will not be load bearing. The roof will be supported by internal columns. The building will have a gravel floor and sliding barn doors. Pictures of the old structure can be viewed in Exhibits 10-1,10-2,10-3 and 10-4. Since the structure is already there, no excavation or foundation work will be necessary other than to install caissons to support the columns, supporting the roof. 5) Irrigation and dwelling water pump station We are proposing the construction of a 10'x10', 100 square foot, wood frame structure to house the water pump and water distribution manifold. The well water would be used for crop irrigation, farms equipment maintenance and domestic use in the two farm dwellings. Power for the pump would be provided by the solar panels mounted on the accessory building. Additional and/or auxiliary power would be provided by HELCO. 6) Chicken Coop We are proposing the construction of a 10'x15', 150 square foot, wood frame chicken coop to raise chickens and produce eggs. C. Impacts of the proposed project on the Special Management Area (SMA). Historically, this parcel has been used exclusively for agriculture. It belonged to sugar companies before it was sold to private interests in 2001. In addition to growing sugar cane,the property also hosted a flume used to transport sugar cane to the old mill at Hakalau Bay. The 1925 photo shown in Exhibit 11 shows a portion of the flume. Since 2007, the parcel has been farmed with row crops, primarily sweet potatoes, rotating with ginger. The land has sat fallow for the last several years. Historical photos show Agricultural use. 5 The 2005 photo (Exhibit 12-1) shows the land cleared and planted.The 2019 photo (Exhibit 12-2) shows much of the parcel planted in row crops. The best economic use of this land continues to be Agricultural use. Ag use is also consistent with current zoning and land use laws. Because this use is consistent with past uses and lawfully allowed uses, we know of no detrimental impacts to the surrounding area, in the past, present nor do we anticipate any in the future. Although the parcel is zoned Agriculture, it lies within a subdivision platted in 2002. As shown in Exhibit 3, there are 16 platted lots in this subdivision.This property is the last lot at the southern end of the subdivision and borders Hakalua Bay. Lot 15 borders this lot to the north.The parcel is accessed by a private road that runs parallel and abuts Hawaii Belt Highway, which forms the western border of the parcel.The lot is already connected to the HELCO grid, where the transmission line terminates several hundred feet into the property. Because it is located within a platted subdivision, the proposed farm dwellings are also consistent with the existing residential uses of surrounding area. The proposed project would be compatible with the surrounding area, and is consistent with the LUPAG designation, the zoning, and State Land Use District.The project would fulfill the following pertinent goals, policies, and standards of the General Plan as well as the Hamakua Community Development Plan: • Identify, protect and maintain important agriculture lands on the island of Hawaii. • Preserve the agricultural character of the island. • Preserve and enhance opportunities for the expansion of Hawaii's Agricultural Industry. • Assist in the development of agriculture. • Assist in the development of water for agricultural purposes. Encourage large landowners to make agricultural lands available for agriculture. • Protect and restore viable agricultural lands and resources (CDP) • Enhance and promote local and sustainable agriculture, farming, ranching, renewable energy, and related economic support systems (CDP). • Cooperate with appropriate State and Federal agencies and the private sector to develop, improve and expand agricultural water systems in appropriate areas on the island. (GP 11.2.2(j)) • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. • The County shall encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. • Provide for suitable living environments that accommodate the physical, social, and economic needs of the Island residents. • Attain safe, sanitary, and livable housing for the residents of the County of Hawaii. 6 • Attain a diversity of socioeconomic housing mix throughout the different parts of the County. • Develop better places to live in Hawaii County by creating viable communities with decent housing and suitable living environments for our people. • Improve and maintain the quality and affordability of the existing housing stock. In summary,the proposed project would be consistent with pertinent goals and policies of the Hawai'i County General Plan. D. Description of how the proposed project will affect the area involved and surrounding areas. The proposed project will have negligible impacts on the area and vicinity, and impacts would be limited to the direct physical impacts of the construction of the Primary Farm Dwelling and Additional Farm Dwelling.This construction would have negligible or no impact on coastal ecosystems. Adverse impacts to water quality would not be expected due to both the large,vegetated area located makai of the proposed construction and minimal impervious areas created by construction.The impervious area of the Primary Farm Dwelling is limited to 5700 square feet and impervious area of the additional Farm Dwelling is limited to 1478 square feet. E. Description of impacts which cannot be avoided and mitigating measures proposed to minimize that impact. Impacts that cannot be avoided are limited to direct physical impacts from construction of the Primary Farm Dwelling and additional Farm Dwelling.The effect of the construction activities are temporary and limited. However, since the past use was farming and the existing gravel roads are being used, the impact would be comparatively negligible.The'Ulu, once planted will not require annual replanting and disruption of the soil. Construction would require a negligible increase in demand on electrical supply that would be replaced with a PV system, to go live post construction. F. Alternatives to the proposed project. Since the proposed project lies within appropriate uses for its zoning classification and is part of and abuts a residential subdivision,the planned uses are appropriate for the site.To the best of our understanding, there are no better alternatives to the proposed project. G. Any irreversible and irretrievable commitment of resources. None.The structures could be demolished and removed in the future. Aside from the proposed dwelling and supporting agricultural structures and facilities, the majority of the land will be committed to agricultural activities, as it has in the past and supported by both state and county land use regulations. The type of agriculture being proposed will preserve the soil resources within the property, rather than past activities that required frequent tilling of the land and the potential erosion and loss of soil. 7 H. Potential Impacts of the Proposed Project on Cultural, Historical and Archaeological Resources Negative Impacts: None As previously noted,vegetation on the proposed site within the Agricultural District, is composed of grasses (i.e., guinea grass and centipede grass), Gunpowder, African Tulip Ironwood Trees. Hau has overgrown the gulch Pali on to the agricultural area and will be trimmed.These trees will be trimmed/removed as shown in Exhibit 6. Although no professional flora and fauna surveys have been performed, the applicant does not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are located on site. The subject property and vicinity do not appear to contain flora or fauna resources that would be utilized for gathering.There does not appear to be any other valued cultural, historical or natural resource, including any existing traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights practiced on or near the subject property. The proposed project would not adversely impact any traditional and customary native Hawaiian rights.There does not appear to be any valued cultural, historical, or natural resources present. In the unlikely event that archaeological resources or human remains are encountered during construction activities, work in the immediate area of the discovery would be halted and DLNR-SHPD contacted as outlined in Hawai'i Administrative Rules Chapter 13-275. Archaeological resources are highly unlikely to exist on the subject property, which has been used for sugar cultivation purposes beginning as early as 1878 with the establishment of the Hakalau Sugar Plantation. In the 1960's, the Hakalau Plantation Company became part of the Pepeekeo Sugar Company, and later part of Mauna Kea Sugar. The Hakalau Bay Sugar Mill commenced operation in 1881 and ceased operation in 1973. Sugar cane cultivation operations in this area ceased sometime in 1990's and existed in the area for approximately 112 years. Exhibit 13 shows a topographic map depicting flumes on the property. A survey done in 2002 (shown in Exhibit 14) when the subdivision was platted, shows a concrete structure near the northwest corner of the subject property. According to a local historian and former sugar company employee John Cross,this three-sided concrete structure was used as a staging area to load cane onto the flume running through the property. As explained to me,trucks containing sugar cane from independent growers were brought to this site where their load was weighed and credited before being loaded onto the flume. Mr. Cross was a former employee of the sugar company and personally supervised the dismantling of this staging area in 1976.The roads depicted for use on the site plan are the same roads built for the flume loading operation. As shown on the recent survey(Figure 1),the Old Mamalohoa Highway right-of-way(abandoned) has an easement that runs through the entrance of this property, initially running parallel to Hawaii Belt Highway. As it descends southward on a slope, the old right-of-way then turns to the west and under what is now the Hakalau bridge. Although the continuance of this road is washed out under the bridge, it used to run westward along the top of the gulch on the north side of the Hakalau Stream, down to the bottom of the gulch, across an old concrete bridge built in 1932 and then back of the slope of the south side of the Hakalau gulch to the top of the Pali. 8 These historical uses strongly suggest that the subject property has been highly modified by agricultural and transportation uses.Therefore, archaeological resources are not likely to be present on the subject property, and any archaeological resources formerly present would have been removed by these past uses. Furthermore, no historic properties are present that would be impacted by the proposed project. I. Anticipated impacts of the proposed development on the following in relationship to the objectives and policies as contained in Chapter 205A, HRS and the SMA Guidelines a) Recreational Resources The proposed project would not affect recreational resources in any way, which might limit activities associated with shoreline access in this area. Other than agricultural use, we know of no other past uses of this land. Where the property abuts the Pacific Ocean and Hakalau Bay, the vertical slope of the shoreline Pali and steep slope of the Hakalau Gulch Pali as it transitions to the side of the gulch makes any past shoreline access highly improbable. Hakalau Park, lying on the other side of Hakalua Bay, provides shoreline access and a recreation area for the public. b) Historic Resources Excepting the concrete structure previously mentioned and discussed below,the area of development proposed shows no evidence of historic properties.The subject property is not used for gathering, ceremonial, or other cultural purposes by Native Hawaiians, therefore there appears to be no potential for cultural impact to culturally valued resources or cultural practices. Protecting archaeological and cultural resources is an important aspect of the SMA guidelines, and the proposed project is conformant with these guidelines. The three concrete walls that formed a structure used to stage sugar cane being loaded on to the flume is an old mill related structure and may possibly be considered historic.The use of this structure to support the Agricultural Storage facility is consistent with its previous use and will be done in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Division. Other than this structure, we do not believe there are any historic structures at the site. c) Scenic and Open Space Resources The guidelines contained in Rule 9 of the Hawaii County Planning Commission Rules, which pertain to the SMA, express the intent to minimize development that would, "substantially interfere with or detract from the line of sight toward the sea from the State Highway nearest the coast or from other scenic areas identified in the General Plan." The subject property is not visible from any public thoroughfares.The access road itself is a private road and not a public thoroughfare.The parcel lies makai of the Hawaii Belt Hwy at the north end of the Hakalau bridge. To connect the Hawaii Belt Highway to the north end of the Hakalau bridge, a substantial road cut was made in the landscape. Because of this elevation change, the property is not visible from the highway.There are no scenic views and consequently there no impact on scenic views as a result of the development.Therefore, the proposed project would not impact scenic or open space resources.The proposed use is consistent with 9 historical uses, as well as proposed uses as enumerated in the General Plan LUPAG maps, zoning, and land use district designation. d) Coastal Ecosystems The attached survey(Figure 1) and OCCL boundary determination (Figure 2) identified the shoreline as being a vertical Pali, transitioning to a steep slope that forms the Hakalau gulch. All proposed construction for the proposed project would be set back a minimum of 160'from the vertical Pali from the ocean and hence the potential for impacts on coastal ecosystems would be negligible. All mandated setbacks would be adhered to. No threatened or endangered animal or plant species are present. No adverse impacts to flora, fauna, or ecosystems would be expected to result from the proposed development or any activities associated with it. e) Economic Uses Negative Impacts: None Positive Impacts: Food security The establishment of the proposed 'Ulu orchard is complimentary to several State of Hawaii stated goals and objectives. As stated by the State of Hawai'i Office of Planning, Department of Business, Economic Development&Tourism in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture in their October 2012 report and consistent with HRS § 226- 55: "The "Increased Food Security and Food Self-Sufficiency Strategy"sets forth objectives, policies and actions to increase the amount of locally grown food consumed by Hawai'i's residents. The economic impact of food import replacement is significant. Replacing just 10%of the food Hawaii currently imports would amount to approximately$313 million dollars which would remain in the State. The Strategy recommends actions to market"Buy Locaot Matters"and to brand and label local food products. The Strategy emphasizes increasing production by strengthening agricultural infrastructure i.e. agricultural parks, irrigation systems and distribution systems/facilities. It also recommends actions to provide for food safety, pest prevention and control, workforce training, research and extension services,and policy and organizational support.A critical factor towards successful implementation will be building partnerships with the increasing number of organizations involved in food self-sufficiency/food security. The Strategy is a living document which provides a first step for continued dialog and the initiation of actions to increase food self-sufficiency and food security in Hawaii. The Strategy has three strategic objectives: i. Increase Demand for and Access to Locally Grown Foods ii. Increase Production of Locally Grown Foods iii. Provide Policy and Organizational Support to Meet Food Self-Sufficiency Needs Breadfruit or"Ulu is a perennial tree that produces large, carbohydrate-rich fruit. Breadfruit can provide food security and will continually produce with simple maintenance and inputs. Given that breadfruit can grow in a wide range of soils, and be managed without imported inputs, it is a dependable perennial staple crop that contributes to food security where it grows. One acre of breadfruit will supply around 9.5 people- years'worth of calories. 1-3 trees could supply the carbohydrates requirements for 1 adult human, 10 depending on that person's dietary preferences. f) Positive Impacts:Agricultural economic contributions The development of the 'Ulu orchard will require the purchase of mechanized equipment, irrigation equipment,fencing and housing construction. The equipment will be purchased locally.The dwellings construction will use local labor. In addition to the owners, the orchard is projected to employ 1.5 full time equivalent employees to manage farming operations. g) Coastal Hazards The property is located within Flood Zone X, outside of the 500-year flood area, and is not located within the tsunami inundation zone. Since the subject property is located a minimum of 170 feet above mean sea level, sea level rise will not affect the property. The Pali of the adjacent property experienced catastrophic sloughing in 2015. Sometime in 2018, the Pali at this parcel also experienced sloughing to a much lesser degree. According to recent findings in a report prepared by the US Geological Survey, in conjunction with the University of Hawaii,the most "aggressive" episodic sloughing over an extended period is forecast to be 8" per year. To mitigate this risk,we are proposing to place the Primary Farm Dwelling 160'from the vertical Pali edge. Based on current projections, if aggressive sloughing were to continue, it would take 240 years to reach the dwelling. Additionally, we are proposing to sow vetiver in the 34 acre area adjacent to the vertical Pali.This would be a field of vetiver and not just a buffered planting. Doing this should help stabilize the entire area and produce livestock feed in the process. Lastly, we plan to selectively prune the Hau at the Pali edge that is overlapping on to the agricultural portion of the lot.This selective pruning will serve to strengthen the Hau, promoting root and stem vigor. When properly managed,the Hau is an excellent plant to help stabilize and preserve the Pali. 11 • Xx '� 1 JLL R ny �t Y Q Lj wt Lri �rz ;t '• ;tom y'M1F'V a Nt.L41 Ch ro a d.

The Phase I ESA was conducted in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM EIS27-21. The location of the subject property is identified in Figure 1. This Phase I ESA was conducted by Insight Environmental LLC for John Kocol and Martha Edwards. The purpose of this Phase I ESA is to identify recognized environmental conditions(REC),historical recognized environmental conditions, or controlled recognized environmental conditions at the subject property, with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products. A Phase I ESA consists of four parts. Three of those parts are intended to collect information that will aid in the identification of RECs at the subject property. The information generating parts of the Phase I ESA are a review of state, federal, and local environmental records; a site reconnaissance visit; and interviews with key site personnel and other individuals with knowledge of the subject property. The fourth part of a Phase I ESA is a report that documents the collection of information about the subject property and evaluation of that information towards making a determination of the presence of RECs at the subject property. The subject property is • located 19 miles north of Hilo and lies to the east of Hawaii Belt Road, • bordered by Hakalau Bay to the southeast and partially bordered by Hawaii Belt Road to the west, and • adjoined by privately-owned land to the north and west and publicly-owned land at its southeast corner and along its coastal cliff line. The portion of the subject property to the north of Hakalau Stream is in the coastal portion of the ahupua`a (Hawaiian land division) of Kamae`e, while the portion to the south of Hakalau Stream is in the ahupua`a of Hakalau. The subject property vicinity to the east of Hawaii Belt Road is a rural area with large single- family residences on medium-sized lots (2 acre). The subject property vicinity to the west of Hawaii Belt Road is agricultural land. SUBJECT PROPERTY FINDINGS Government records, historical topographic maps, and historical aerial photographs indicate that the subject property was used by various sugar plantations from before 191S until circa the early 1990's. A flume traversed across all three parcels of the subject property, conveying water and sugarcane from the north side of Hakalau Bay to the sugar mill at the bottom of the gulch and the mouth of Hakalau Stream. Footings in Hakalau Stream to the east of Hakalau Bridge are likely remnants of the flume. Parcel 001 and the portion of parcel 003 at the bottom of the gulch were likely part of the sugar mill complex. Parcel 008 was under sugarcane cultivation IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 1 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 throughout this period but also contained an unloading station where harvested sugarcane was unloaded and transferred into the flume. Concrete structures and asphalt and concrete paving from this station are still present and visible on the property. The excavation of test pits near the northwest corner of parcel 008 located concrete vaults and channels that are considered likely to be historic storm water drainage infrastructure or part of the sugarcane unloading station. Parcel 001 of the subject property was directly adjacent to the former sugar mill and was part of the mill complex. Investigations of sugar mills throughout Hawaii have consistently identified soils impacted with a variety of contaminants including arsenic, lead, petroleum hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. Based on this pattern of contamination and the proximity of parcel 001 to the sugar mill, it is considered likely that soil and possibly groundwater on parcel 001 has been impacted by one or more of these contaminants. As a result, the past use of parcel 001 as part of a sugar mill complex is a recognized environmental condition. Based on historical practice of the sugarcane industry and post-sugarcane era property developers, it is considered likely that concrete, metal, and possibly other debris are buried at locations across the property. This is a key finding of this Phase I ESA, but the presence of buried concrete and metal does not indicate that hazardous substance or petroleum product contamination is present and as a result is not a recognized environmental condition. High concentrations of agricultural chemicals in soil, associated with past sugarcane production, have typically been found at pesticide mixing areas and mill sites. However, agricultural chemicals at concentrations of concern have also been found in some field areas (State of Hawai'i Department of Health, 2009). The pesticide mixing area that likely served the field areas of parcel 008 is located on the south side of Hakalau Bay, hydraulically separated from the subject property, and reducing the likelihood of excessive application of pesticides or pesticide-laden wastes to the subject property. While the past use of the subject property for sugarcane production is a key finding of this Phase I ESA, this alone does not meet the definition of a REC under the Phase I ESA Standard. Thus, the past use of the subject property for sugarcane production is not a recognized environmental condition. The details of flume operations are unknown. However, in general, sugarcane was unloaded from trucks into a holding area, where it was then loaded into the flume to be transported via flowing water to the mill. Operation of the flume may have required the periodic removal of soil sediment from the flume. This sediment would likely have been applied to the field areas of parcel 008. While this activity may have added pesticide-impacted sediment to parcel 008, there is no compelling evidence that this significantly impacted the soil of parcel 008 any more than the routine application of pesticides that would have occurred on field areas. As a result, the operation of a sugarcane and water transportations flume and sugarcane unloading station on parcel 008 is a key finding of this Phase I ESA but is not a recognized environmental condition. Portions of parcel 008 were under ginger and possibly sweet potato cultivation from approximately 201S until approximately 2022. Evidence of pesticide and fertilizer use as part of IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 2 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 this farming activity was present on the property. However, the pesticides readily in use during this time period are unlikely to be recalcitrant. As a result, use of the subject property for ginger and possibly sweet potato farming is not a recognized environmental condition. SUROUNDING PROPERTY FINDINGS Government records, historical topographic maps, and historical aerial photographs indicate that the surrounding properties had a similar development and use history to the subject property. Property to the north and west of the subject property was under sugarcane cultivation. The Hakalau Gulch area to the west of the subject property contained roads that transited the gulch and also accessed the sugar mill to the east and south of parcel 001 of the subject property at the mouth of Hakalau Stream. How far the sugar mill complex extended upstream is unknown, but there is little evidence that it extended much beyond the mill proper, and there is little flat land within the gulch that could have been used for mill complex activities. Since the end of sugarcane cultivation, property to the west of parcel 008 of the subject property has remained in agriculture, principally cattle grazing, while property to the north has been developed for residential use. Lead contaminated soil associated with the past use of lead-based paint on Hakalau Bridge has been identified in soil on parcel 001 of the subject property. The soil on parcel 003 has not been tested for lead, but given the proximity of the property to the bridge and the identified impacts to parcel 001, it is considered likely that lead paint from Hakalau Bridge has impacted parcel 003 as well. As a result, the identified presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 001 is a recognized environmental condition. The suspected presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 003 is a recognized environmental condition. A deep road cut, initially for the railroad line and subsequently for Hawaii Belt Road, has long divided parcel 008 of the subject property from more inland fields, limiting the migration of soil from those fields onto the subject property. For property to the north of the subject property, topography would tend to cause eroded soils to move east and not south onto the subject property. As a result, it is considered unlikely that there has ever been considerable migration of off-site soil onto the subject property. Additionally, there is no indication that soils on surrounding agricultural fields were treated with agricultural chemicals in a manner any different than the fields of the subject property. As a result, the past and current use of the surrounding properties to the north and west are not a recognized environmental condition. DATA GAPS, LIMITING CONDITIONS, AND DEVIATIONS Two limiting condition that were encountered during the site reconnaissance were (1) dense vegetation and vegetation debris across the subject property, and (2) steep topography across much of parcel 003 and portions of parcel 008 of the subject property. Dense vegetation and vegetation debris made it difficult to observe the ground surface over much of the subject property and impossible to access portions of the subject property. Steep topography made it impossible to access portions of the subject property. The inability to access areas of the subject property due to steep topography are not considered a significant limiting condition because it is considered unlikely that past use of the property would have included these areas, IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 3 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 or included activities that could impact the subject property. The inability to access and observe areas of the subject property due to dense vegetation and vegetation debris is considered a significant limiting condition because it may have obscured observations of the subject property that could impact the identification of a REC. This is especially significant on this property because sugarcane plantation era infrastructure is present on the property and subsurface investigations of the property identified infrastructure that was not entirely expected and that, to some extent, included the identification of buried solid waste (scrap metal). Furthermore, the abandonment and burial of solid waste is known to have been a common practice by sugar companies. No data gaps were encountered during this Phase I ESA. No deviations from ASTM EIS27-21 were conducted. Any exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 1.4 or 7.0 of this report. RECOGNIZED ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This assessment has revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property except the following. • Past use of parcel 001 of the subject property as part of a sugar mill complex. • Identified presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 001 of the subject property. • Suspected presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 003 of the subject property. This assessment has revealed no evidence of historical recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. This assessment has revealed no evidence of controlled recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 4 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) of the subject property identified as the Hakalau Bay Property located along Hawaii Belt Road, Hakalau, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii; and identified by Tax Map Key (TMK) (3) 3-1-001:001, 003, and 008. The location of the subject property is identified in Figure 1. This Phase I ESA was conducted by Insight Environmental LLC, herein referred to as Insight Environmental, for John Kocol and Martha Edwards. At the time of this Phase I ESA, the subject property was (1) owned by Marian Land Company, (2) unimproved with remnants of sugarcane plantation era infrastructure present, and (3) covered with recently mowed cane grass as well as areas of trees and shrubs. 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this Phase I ESA is to identify any recognized environmental conditions (REC), historical recognized environmental conditions, or controlled recognized environmental conditions at the subject property, with respect to the range of contaminants within the scope of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and petroleum products. This practice is intended to permit a user to satisfy one of the requirements to qualify for one of the landowner liability protections to CERCLA liability; "all appropriate inquiry into the previous ownership and uses of the site consistent with good commercial or customary practice." The term recognized environmental condition is defined as (1) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release to the environment; (2) the likely presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property due to a release or likely release to the environment; or (3) the presence of hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at the subject property under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment (ASTM International, 2021). The term historical recognized environmental condition is defined as a previous release of hazardous substances or petroleum products affecting the subject property that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or authorities and meeting unrestricted use criteria established by the applicable regulatory authority or authorities without subjecting the subject property to any controls (ASTM International, 2021). The term controlled recognized environmental condition is defined as a recognized environmental condition affecting the subject property that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or authorities with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to implementation of required controls(ASTM International, 2021). This report is part of the Phase I ESA conducted for the subject property. The assessment was conducted in accordance with the practices described in Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process (ASTM International, 2021). The evaluation of RECs at the subject property includes consideration of impacted soil, groundwater, and soil gas (soil vapor).

Insight Environmental conducted this ESA using information sources with the potential to identify past or current releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products into the subject property. Adjoining properties were also evaluated for their potential to impact the subject property. Per the ASTM Phase I ESA standard, adjoining properties include parcels touching the subject property as well as those across a roadway (ASTM International, 2021). 1.2.1 Site History Where available, and as needed, Insight Environmental researched current and historical aerial photographs, fire insurance maps, property tax records, and topographic maps to identify current and historical uses of the property, adjoining properties, and the surrounding area. 1.2.2 Regulatory Records Insight Environmental examined government records with respect to environmental conditions, citations, complaints, and permits at the subject property, at adjoining properties, and within the surrounding area. Insight Environmental reviewed records from the following federal and state programs. • National Priorities List (NPL) • Delisted NPL • Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities that are undergoing"corrective action" (CORRACTS) • RCRA-Treatment, Storage, &Disposal(TSD) • Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) List • SEMS No Further Remedial Action Planned (NFRAP)List • State Brownfields • Solid Waste &Landfill • Leaking Underground Storage Tank(LUST) • RCRA-Violators/Enforcement • Underground Storage Tank(UST) • Emergency Response Notification System(ERNS) • RCRA-Large Generator • RCRA-Small Generator • Hawai`i Sites of Interest • Hawai`i Releases • Hawai`i Land Use Controls Additionally, Insight Environmental reviewed the State of Hawaii Department of Health (HDOH) Safe Drinking Water Branch Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program well database, the HDOH Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response (HEER) Office sites of IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 7 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 interest case files, and documents provided by John Kocol. Insight Environmental no longer requests release records from Hawaii Electric Light Company as it is their policy to report all reportable releases to the HDOH and to direct release inquiries to HDOH. Insight Environmental requested hazardous substances storage and incident records from the Hawaii Fire Department. However, the Hawaii Fire Department has made access to those records not reasonably ascertainable. As a result, the records were not obtained. 1.2.3 Physical Setting Information Insight Environmental reviewed published information for the property and surrounding area on surface and subsurface conditions such as geology, hydrogeology, topography, soils, and surface water. Insight Environmental used this information to assess the potential for migration and impact of the subject property by releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products at off-site properties. 1.2.4 Site Reconnaissance Insight Environmental performed a site reconnaissance to obtain information indicating the likelihood of contamination, to interview available site personnel, and to conduct a brief assessment of the adjoining properties. During the site reconnaissance, Insight Environmental looked for a variety of indicators of environmental hazards including, but not limited to, stained surface soil, dead or stressed vegetation, hazardous substances, aboveground and underground storage tanks, disposal areas, groundwater wells, drywells, and sumps. Sampling and testing of soil and groundwater were not part of this assessment. 1.2.5 Interviews Insight Environmental conducted interviews with one or more individuals with knowledge of the current and historical use of the subject property and surrounding area. When possible, and as needed, Insight Environmental conducted interviews with individuals knowledgeable of environmental incidents at the subject property or surrounding properties. 1.2.6 Data Evaluation and Reporting Insight Environmental evaluated the information collected, synthesized the various pieces of information collected, identified significant findings, and developed a conclusion regarding the presence of RECs at the subject property. This report documents and presents that process as the output of the assessment. 1.3 SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS The conclusion presented in this report is based upon the assumption that reasonably ascertainable and relevant information pertaining to the environmental condition of the subject property was made available to Insight Environmental during the assessment.

(EDR) to search standard federal and state government databases for hazardous substance or petroleum product releases that could impact the subject property. A copy of the EDR report is provided in Appendix A. ASTM EIS27-21 specifies a minimum search distance for specific environmental record sources. The following sources are specified for incidents or sites within one mile of the subject property: • Federal NPL site list • Federal RCRA CORRACTS TSD facilities list • State Sites of Interest The following sources are specified for incidents or sites within 1/2 mile of the subject property: • Federal Delisted NPL site list • Federal SEMS list • Federal SEMS NFRAP site list • Federal RCRA non-CORRACTS TSD facilities list • State Brownfield sites IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 1S ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 • State landfill and/or solid waste disposal site list • State LUST list • State voluntary cleanup sites The following sources are for incidents on the subject and adjoining properties (searched as incidents or sites within 1/4 mile of the subject property): • Federal RCRA generators list • State registered UST list Finally, the following are for incidents for the subject property (searched as incidents or sites within 1/s mile of the subject property): • Federal ERNS list • Federal Institutional Controls (IC) and Engineering Controls (EC) Registries • State IC and EC Registries • State releases list EDR identified and mapped five (S) records for five (S) facilities from standard government databases. EDR identified one record that could not be mapped. Insight Environmental communicated with Laura Young of the HDOH HEER Office and was able to confirm that the unmapped record referred to one of the five facilities identified in records mapped by EDR. Record information included in the database is part of the EDR report included in Appendix A. 4.1.1 Federal NPL Site List The NPL, maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is a list of highly contaminated sites that have been identified by Superfund. EDR identified no NPL sites on, or within one mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.2 Federal RCRA CORRACTS TSD Facilities List The Federal RCRA CORRACTS TSD facilities list, maintained by the USEPA, contains treaters, storers, and disposers of hazardous waste that have reported violations and are subject to corrective actions. EDR identified no RCRA CORRACTS TSD facilities on, or within one mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.3 State Sites of Interest The State Sites of Interest List, maintained by the HDOH HEER Office, contains facilities, sites, or areas in which the HEER Office has or had an interest or may investigate. This list includes SEMS sites. EDR identified five State Sites of Interest within one mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). The sites are identified in Table 2.

ESE-east-southeast NW-northwest S-south SSE-south-southeast The Hakalau Sugar Mill and Hakalau Stream Bridge sites are located on adjoining properties to the east and a bordering property to the west, respectively. As a result, theses record were selected for HDOH HEER Office case file review. The sites are identified in Table 2 with an asterisk. The case file review is discussed in Section 4.2.2. The Hakalau Pesticide Mixing and Seed Dipping Site is hydraulically separated from the subject property by Hakalau Stream such that migration of contamination from this site would enter the ocean rather than moving towards the subject property. As a result, it is considered unlikely that contamination present at the site could migrate to and impact the subject property. The remaining two sites are located more than 2,500 feet from the subject property and are hydraulically separated from the subject property by streams or gulches. Based on the distance from and relative location to the subject property, it is considered unlikely that any contamination present at these sites could migrate to and impact the subject property. 4.1.4 Federal Delisted NPL Site List The delisted NPL site list, maintained by the USEPA, contains delisted NPL sites. EDR identified no delisted NPL sites on, or within 1/2 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources,Inc.,2023a). 4.1.5 Federal SEMS List The SEMS list, maintained by the USEPA, contains sites that are either proposed to be or are on the NPL list, as well as sites that are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion on the NPL. EDR identified one SEMS site on, or within 1/2 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). The site was listed in the database as Hakalau Plantation Company, located 1,037 feet to the east-southeast along Old Mamalahoa Highway. No other information was available in the database regarding the location or environmental condition of this site. Insight Environmental contacted Laura Young of the IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 17 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 HDOH HEER Office, who identified that this site is the Hakalau Pesticide Mixing and Seed Dipping Site,which has previously been discussed in Section 4.1.3. 4.1.6 Federal SEMS NFRAP Site List The SEMS NFRAP list, maintained by the USEPA, contains designated CERCLA sites where no further steps will be taken to list the sites on the NPL. EDR identified no SEMS NFRAP sites on, or within 1/2 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.7 Federal RCRA non-CORRACTS TSD facilities List The RCRA non-CORRACTS TSD facilities list, maintained by the USEPA, contains RCRA permitted facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste. EDR identified no RCRA TSD facilities on, or within 1/2 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.8 State Brownfield Sites The state brownfield sites list, maintained by the HDOH HEER Office, is an inventory of state designated brownfield sites. Under the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act, a brownfield is defined as "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant." USEPA provides grants and loans to state and local governments for the assessment, cleanup, and redevelopment of these properties. Properties located on the state brownfield list may have received federal funding under this program or be designated a brownfield for state administration or funding purposes. EDR identified no state brownfield sites on, or within 1/2 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.9 State Landfill/Solid Waste Disposal Site List The HDOH records contain an inventory of permitted landfills in the State of Hawaii.

IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 18 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 4.1.12 Federal RCRA Generators List The RCRA Generators list, maintained by the USEPA, contains small and large quantity generators of RCRA hazardous waste. The determination of generator size is used to establish the risk that the facility poses to public health and the environment, and consequently, the amount of regulation and reporting required. Large Quantity Generators (LQG) are facilities that generate more than 1,000 kilograms per month (kg/month) of hazardous waste and/or more than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste. Small Quantity Generators (SQG) are facilities that generate less than 1,000 kg/month but more than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste and/or less than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste. Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQG) are facilities that generate less than 100 kg/month of hazardous waste and/or less than 1 kg/month of acute hazardous waste. The EPA also maintains the RCRA No Longer Regulated (NLR) list. This list contains facilities that were once on the RCRA generators list but are no longer in business, no longer in business at the listed address, or no longer generating hazardous wastes in quantities that require reporting. This list also identifies the facilities of hazardous waste transporters. EDR identified no LOGS, no SQGs, no VSQGs, and no NLR generators on, or within 1/4 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.13 State Registered UST List The HDOH SHWB maintains a database of known underground storage tanks. EDR identified no UST facilities within 1/4 mile of the subject property (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.14 Federal ERNS List The ERNS list, maintained by the USEPA, contains CERCLA hazardous substance releases or spills, as maintained at the National Response Center. EDR identified no ERNS incidents on, or within 1/s mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.15 Federal IC and EC Registries Federal IC and EC sites are federally listed sites that have either an IC or EC. Because the sites may continue to be impacted by past use, future use of the property may be restricted to protect human health and the environment. Land use controls can be either ICs or ECs. Institutional controls are limitations on how the property may be used such as limiting use to industrial activities. Engineering controls are physical structures or devices located on the property that contain or limit exposure to contamination. Engineering controls need to be maintained or protected to be effective. EDR identified no federal IC or EC sites on, or within 1/s mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.16 State IC and EC Registries The State of Hawaii maintains a list of properties that have been remediated to a particular standard. Because the sites may continue to be impacted by past use, future use of the property IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 19 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 may be restricted to protect human health and the environment. Land Use Controls can be either ICs or ECs. Institutional controls are limitations on how the property may be used such as limiting use to industrial activities. Engineering controls are physical structures or devices located on the property that contain or limit exposure to contamination. Engineering controls need to be maintained or protected to be effective. EDR identified no state IC or EC sites on, or within 1/s mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.1.17 State Releases List The HDOH HEER Office maintains a database of known releases to the environment of hazardous substances or petroleum products. EDR identified no release incidents on, or within 1/s mile of the subject property(Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023a). 4.2 ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES Insight Environmental reviewed additional environmental record sources as needed to identify indications of RECs. Additional record sources reviewed include the HDOH Safe Drinking Water Branch, HDOH HEER Office, and John Kocol. 4.2.1 HDOH Safe Drinking Water Branch The HDOH Safe Drinking Water Branch UIC Program maintains a database of permitted UIC wells. A review of the database did not identify any UIC wells on the subject property, or upgradient and within one mile of the subject property. The nearest UIC wells received storm water and are located to the southeast of the subject property across Hakalau Stream (State of Hawaii Department of Health, 2023). It is considered unlikely that any material injected to these wells would have the potential to migrate to and impact the subject property. 4.2.2 HDOH HEER Office Insight Environmental reviewed HDOH HEER Office case files for selected sites considered to have the potential to affect the subject property. Hakalau Sugar Mill - 29-2306 Mamalahoa Highway(86 feet south) The case file for the Hakalau Sugar Mill site was obtained from the HDOH HEER Office iHEER website (State of Hawaii Department of Health, 2023). The case file contained two (2) documents. However, the documents were a duplicate of each other so effectively the case file contained one (1) document, a. 2009, Phase I ESA of the site. The Hakalau Sugar Mill was constructed in 1890 and operated until 1974. The mill buildings were demolished in 1979. The property was donated to the County of Hawaii in 2006 to provide public access to the shoreline. The Phase I ESA concluded that there was no REC at the mill site but noted that the site operated for 84 years as an industrial agricultural facility that included fuel oil storage and combustion and the probable use of lead paint. The report found that based on findings at other similar sugar mill facilities in Hawaii, it is possible that soils under and around the former IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 20 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 mill may be impacted by hydrocarbons and lead (Environmental Resource Management, 2009). Hakalau Stream Bridge - Mamalahoa Highway(9S feet south-southeast) The case file for the Hakalau Stream Bridge site was obtained from the HDOH HEER Office iHEER website (State of Hawaii Department of Health, 2023). The case file contained 36 documents dating from February 2009 to January 2023. Insight Environmental selected five (S) recent files for review. Two (2) recent documents have been prepared for the site, a remedial alternatives analysis to select a remedy for the identified contamination at the site, and a construction environmental hazard management plan to manage environmental hazards during an upcoming bridge repair project. The Hakalau Stream Bridge was constructed in 1911. Lead-based paint was frequently applied to the bridge throughout the 20th century. Lead-based paint flaked off the bridge and may also have been spilled during application. The lead paint on the bridge structure was removed in 2000. Soil in the area below and adjacent to the bridge has been impacted by lead from the bridge. The remedial alternatives analysis identifies Parcel 001 of the subject property as part of the impacted area. The remedial alternatives analysis identifies the current and future land use of the area as a public County of Hawaii-managed park, which is used for general recreation, surfing, and fishing. Soil impacted with lead at concentrations above the HDOH HEER Office unrestricted (200 milligrams per kilogram - mg/kg) and restricted (800 mg/kg) land use Environmental Action Level (EAL) have been identified on subject property Parcel 001 as well as areas beneath the bridge and upstream of the bridge. Areas within the adjoining County of Hawaii parcel (Figure 3, Identifier B) are also impacted with lead. Not all areas of Parcel 001 appear to have been tested. The following five remedial alternatives were evaluated for addressing the lead environmental hazard at the site: • On-site (isolation and containment) • Removal of all soil which exceeds 200 mg/kg of lead and replacement with clean fill • Removal of all soil which exceed 800 mg/kg of lead, containment, and replacement with clean fill • Institutional and engineering controls, no action • Institutional and engineering controls,partial reopening, restricted area Removal of all soil which exceeds 200 mg/kg of lead and replacement with clean fill was selected as the alternative which most satisfied the evaluation criteria (KSF, Inc., 2022 - Updated February 2023). The construction environmental hazard management plan is a design phase template document for a planned scour repair project to Bent 8 (in-water foundation) located on the downstream northwest side of the bridge. The document must be amended with specifics by the selected construction contractor. The document does not address cleanup of lead- impacted soil and provides little additional detail on the presence, extent, or magnitude of soil contamination associated with the site (Environmental Science International, 2022). IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 21 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 4.2.3 John Kocol John Kocol provided Insight Environmental with a December 21, 2022 letter and draft Right of Way Map from the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Highways Division to the current subject property owner, Marian Land Company. The letter notifies Marian Land Company of the State's intention to seek a right-of-way over a portion of TMK(3) 3-1-001:001 and 003 for the Hakalau Stream Bridge Bent 8 scour rehabilitation project. John Kocol provided Insight Environmental with title reports for the three (3) subject property parcels. Insight Environmental reviewed the reports and found no description of environmental liens, environmental covenants, or restrictions due to environmental contamination on the subject property parcels (Ho`okele Title&Escrow, 2023). On March 30, 2023, a structural engineer contracted by Mr. Kocol grubbed vegetation and excavated test pits near the northwest corner of parcel 008 of the subject property. During the excavation of the test pits, the structural engineer encountered buried concrete vaults and other buried concrete infrastructure. The features were reported to contain pieces of scrap metal and have a faint degraded petroleum odor. The grubbed area revealed an area of asphalt paving. Photographs of the findings provided by the structural engineer to Mr. Kocol were provided to Insight Environmental and are included in Appendix B. 4.3 PHYSICAL SETTING INFORMATION 4.3.1 Geology The island of Hawaii is the youngest and most geologically diverse of the Hawaiian Islands. The visible, non-submerged part of the island is composed of five large volcanoes, each in a different stage of activity. Mauna Kea, the island's highest volcano, formed the northern third of the island, including all of the Hamakua Coast, from Waipio Valley to Hilo Bay. Mauna Kea volcano is believed to have last erupted between 4,000 and 6,000 years ago (United States Geological Survey, 201S). All of the bedrock on the Hamakua and North Hilo coast is a variety of basalts. Soils in the vicinity of the subject property are the product of weathered volcanic basalts, cinder, and ash(Hazlett&Hyndman, 1996). 4.3.2 Topography Parcel 001 of the subject property is relatively flat and even, sloping down from approximately 30 feet above mean sea level to meet Halalau Stream. The edge of the stream is rocky and moderately steep, but a short slope on both the north and south sides of the stream. Parcel 003 of the subject property slopes steeply from approximately 100 feet above mean sea level at the top of the sea cliff to 30 feet above mean sea level. The slope is almost vertical in places and not passable. Parcel 008 of the subject property sits between 200 and 100 feet above mean sea level, sloping gently from the northwest corner towards the top of the sea cliff to the north and east. The ground surface across most of parcel 008 is relatively even. However, there are three clusters of trees on the west side of parcel 008 where the ground surface drops more steeply for a short distance. IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 22 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 4.3.3 Surface Water Parcel 001 of the subject property crosses the perennial Hakalau Stream approximately 300 feet from the Pacific Ocean at Hakalau Bay. The southeast boundary of the remainder of the subject property is the top of the sea cliff at Hakalau Bay, approximately ISO feet beyond. 4.3.4 Hydrogeology The HDOH Safe Drinking Water Branch has established a UIC line to serve as a boundary between drinking water and non-drinking water portions of aquifers. Areas above (mountain side) the UIC line are within drinking water portions of the aquifer, while areas below (ocean side) the UIC line are in non-drinking water portions of the underlying aquifer. The subject property is above the UIC line in a drinking water portion of the aquifer (State of Hawaii Department of Health Safe Drinking Water Branch, 1999). The subject property is above the Hakalau aquifer system in the East Mauna Kea aquifer sector. The system is composed of an upper and lower aquifer. The upper aquifer is a high-level, confined, and perched formation. The upper aquifer has the potential for use as a drinking water source. It is considered irreplaceable with a high risk of susceptibility to contamination. The lower aquifer is basal, unconfined, and in flank formations. The basal aquifer is currently used for drinking water, is fresh, and is considered to have a moderate risk of susceptibility to contamination(Mink&Lau, 1993). There are no United States Geological Survey monitoring wells in the vicinity of the subject property. A basal aquifer well located 33S feet to the north of the subject property, at an approximate ground elevation of 170 feet above mean sea level, is 183 feet deep, with water measured in this well at 0 feet above mean sea level, approximately 170 feet below the ground surface. Basal groundwater at the subject property is expected to vary from approximately 210 feet below the ground surface at its northwest corner, to 90 feet below the ground surface along the top of the sea cliff, to just below the ground surface at Hakalau Stream. Because an upper aquifer has been documented for this aquifer system (Mink&Lau, 1993), it is likely, but not certain, that perched water exists beneath the subject property. However, because of the highly variable nature of perched aquifers in young volcanic formations, it is difficult to predict the depth to groundwater in the perched aquifer at the subject property. 4.3.5 Climate The subject property has a windward lowlands climate. These areas lie more or less perpendicular to the prevailing flow of the trade winds, and are moderately rainy,with frequent trade wind showers. Partly cloudy to cloudy days are common. Temperatures are more nearly uniform and mild than in other areas (Western Regional Climate Center, 2023). IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 23 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 The subject property has an average minimum and maximum temperature of 69.S1 and 74.96 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively, with slightly warmer temperatures May through October (University of Hawaii at Manoa - Geography Department, 2014). The subject property receives 141 inches of rain annually, with slightly more rainfall in March, April, and November (University of Hawaii at Manoa- Geography Department, 2013). 4.3.6 Soils The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service classifies the soil on the north half of subject property Parcel 008 as Hilo hydrous silty clay loam (901). Typically, this soil is composed of hydrous silty clay loam from zero to 60 inches below ground surface. It is found on slopes of zero to 10 percent between sea level and 1,100 feet elevation. It is a well-drained soil formed from basic volcanic ash over basalt. Soil on the remainder of the subject property is classified as Hilo-Rock outcrop complex (909). Typically, landforms with this complex are 6S% Hilo hydrous silty clay loam (901), and 3S% basalt rock outcrop (United States Department of Agriculture, 2019). 4.4 HISTORICAL USE INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT AND ADJOINING PROPERTIES Information regarding past uses of the subject and adjoining properties was obtained from a review of topographic maps (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023b), aerial photographs (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023c), property tax records (County of Hawaii, 2023), and interviews. No fire insurance maps were identified for the subject property vicinity (Environmental Data Resources, Inc., 2023d). Information gathered during interviews is discussed in Section 6.0. 4.4.1 Topographic Maps United States Geological Survey topographic maps that cover the subject property and vicinity were identified by EDR. Maps from 191S, 1930, 1966, 1980, 1992, 2013, and 2017 were identified and reviewed. The maps identified by EDR are provided in Appendix A. The maps depicted the following. 191S: A road with the approximate alignment of Old Mamalahoa Highway is visible and borders the north of Parcel 003 and the west of Parcel 008 of the subject property. A railroad line is also visible and runs in an approximately north to south direction crossing Hakalau Gulch with the approximate alignment of Hawaii Belt Road, and thus, borders Parcels 001 and 003 of the subject property to the west. The railroad line appears to have bordered the northwest corner of Parcel 008 of the subject property. Roadways and a large number of small structures are depicted on the south side of Hakalau Bay but are not labeled. A dotted blue line, likely depicting a flume or other artificial waterway parallels the coast to the north of the subject property and descends into and crosses Hakalau Gulch. A second dotted blue line parallels Hakalau Stream but offset to the north and crosses onto the Parcel 008 of the subject property at its northwest corner, crosses Parcel 008, and joins with the coastal dotted blue line. Four IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 24 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 small structures are depicted along the roadway and to the northwest of the subject property. Two small structures are depicted on the subject property near the south corner of Parcel 008. 1930: The map is of poor quality. No significant changes from the 1915 map are visible. 1966: Hawaii Belt Road is depicted but not labeled. Portions of Old Mamalahoa Highway are depicted. The railroad line and grade are no longer depicted. Several medium-sized buildings are depicted on the south side of Hakalau Bay. A large building at the location of Hakalau Sugar Mill is depicted but not labeled. The coastal flume to the north of the subject property is no longer depicted. However, the flume from the west of the subject property is depicted and labeled. As it crosses the subject property, it joins with the section of the former coastal flume that descends and crosses Hakalau Gulch and terminates at the sugar mill. A roadway extends from Old Mamalahoa Highway at the bottom of Hakalau Gulch to the sugar mill, crossing Parcel 001 of the subject property. Two small structures are depicted to the northwest of the subject property. One small structure is depicted on the subject property. A spur of road from Old Mamalahoa Highway extends onto Parcel 008 of the subject property. 1980: The flume is no longer depicted. Old Mamalahoa Highway is not depicted rising from the bottom of Hakalau Gulch to the north. The roadway cut is still visible in the land topography. The section of Old Mamalahoa Highway bordering Parcel 003 and 008 of the subject property is still depicted. Fewer structures are depicted on the south side of Hakalau Bay. The spur of road onto Parcel 008 of the subject property as well as the structure previously depicted on the subject property are no longer depicted. 1992: No significant changes from the 1980 map. 2013: The style of the map does not include the depiction of buildings. Roads within the residential area of Hakalau on the south side of Hakalau Bay are depicted, but only Hawaii Belt Road is depicted as a roadway on the north side of Hakalau Bay. 2017: The style of the map does not include the depiction of buildings. A roadway dropping into Hakalau Gulch from the south side and doubling back onto Parcel 001 of the subject property is depicted. A roadway beginning at Hawaii Belt Road opposite Leopolino Road, paralleling Hawaii Belt Road to the south, and then turning to the northeast to border a portion of the subject property is depicted. 4.4.2 Aerial Photographs Aerial photographs of the subject, adjoining, and surrounding properties were identified by EDR. Photographs from 1954, 1977, 1992, and 2002 were identified and reviewed. The photographs are provided in Appendix A. Figure 2 presents a 2022 satellite image of the subject property and vicinity,which was reviewed. IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 25 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 1954: Hawaii Belt Road is visible. Parcel 008 of the subject property and the surrounding area to the north and west appear to be under uniform cultivation with the exception of the southeast sea cliff slope and the northwest corner of the subject property. The northwest corner of Parcel 008 appears to be a bare open area. A linear feature in the area of the flume is visible to the west of the subject property and to a lesser extent on the subject property. However, it does not appear to be an active flume. The south side of Hakalau Bay is highly developed with medium-sized buildings and clusters of smaller buildings. The Hakalau Sugar Mill is visible, as is the road along the bottom of Hakalau Gulch that crosses Parcel 001 of the subject property. Two buildings appear to be present to the northwest of the subject property. No buildings are visible on the subject property. 1977: A structure, or the footprint of a former structure, is possibly visible at the top of the sea cliff at the eastern end of Parcel 008 of the subject property. A building may be present near the northwest corner of the subject property. 1992: Development on the south side of Hakalau Bay has decreased with only the medium- sized buildings at the north end visible, while other previously developed areas are covered with vegetation or trees. The Hakalau Sugar Mill is not visible. The road along the bottom of Hakalau Gulch is partially visible. Parcel 003 and a greater portion of the southern and eastern sea cliff area of Parcel 008 appear as unmanaged vegetation. A portion of Parcel 008 as well as the surrounding area to the north and west continue to appear under uniform cultivation, but land contours appear to have changed. The open area at the northwest corner of Parcel 008 no longer appears clear, and no buildings are clearly visible in this area. 2002: Parcel 008 and the surrounding area to the north and west still appear to be under cultivation, but the pattern has changed, suggesting a change in crop or an extended fallow period. An area to the northwest of the subject property has a substantially different agricultural use pattern. A portion of the northwest corner of Parcel 008 appears clear,while trees are also visible in this area. 2022 (Fi re 2): The adjoining and surrounding area to the north of the subject property contains a number of medium-sized structures that appear residential in use. The surrounding area to the northwest and west of the subject property appears to be in agricultural use, potentially as cattle pasture. The subject property is mostly covered with trees except for the northeast corner that appears as exposed soil. 4.4.3 Property Tax Records Property tax records for the subject property were acquired from the Hawaii County Real Property Tax Office. While the purpose of tax records is to record property tax liability, which is principally associated with property ownership, they often provide information on past uses of the property. The review of property tax records as part of a Phase I ESA focuses on gaining information about property use and not ownership. IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 26 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 3-1-001:001 (subject property) The first recorded tax ownership of subject property parcel 001 was in 1944, when the property consisted of 1.37 acres and was owned by Hakalau Plantation Company. At that time, the property and was under a special assessment for sugarcane dedicated land. In 1953, 1.90 acres from subject property parcel TMK 3-1-001:003, 18.74 acres from subject property parcel TMK 3-1-001:008, and 24.76 acres from other parcels in Plat 001 were transferred into parcel 001, increasing its size to 46.77 acres. Other transfers and subdivisions in 1953 and 1954 resulted in a parcel 001 consisting of 34.685 acres. In 1956, the Hakalau Plantation Company became the Hakalau Sugar Company, Ltd. In 1959, 12.915 acres were transferred from TMK 3-1-001:017, increasing the size of parcel 001 to 47.600 acres. In 1972, parcel 001 was leased to the Hilo Coast Processing Company. In 1973, Hakalau Sugar Company, Ltd. merged with Mauna Kea Sugar Company, Inc. In 1986, Hilo Coast Processing Company subleased the property to Mauna Kea Agribusiness Company, Inc. A 1978 and a 1981 assessment of land use identifies the following uses of the property: sugarcane cultivation, road, flume, fuel station, and unloading station. In 1991, leases and subleases of the property expired, and it was acknowledged that Mauna Kea Sugar Company, Inc. was now known as Mauna Kea Agribusiness Company, Inc. In 2001, a number of parcels in Plat 001 were consolidated and resubdivided, resulting in a parcel 001 consisting of O.S020 acre. In 2001, the property was deeded to Thompson 1989 Trust. In 2007, the property was deeded to Marian Land Company, the current owner. 3-1-001:003 (subject property) The first recorded tax ownership of subject property parcel 003 was in 1941, when the property was deeded from R.A Lyman Estate to Hakalau Plantation Company. In 1944, the size of the property was recorded as 1.90 acres. In 1953, the property was consolidated into subject property parcel TMK 3-1-001:001, and parcel 003 was dropped. The history of parcel 001 is presented earlier in this section. In 2001, 1.900 acres were subdivided from parcel 001 to reform parcel 003, which was owned by Mauna Kea Agribusiness Company, Inc.

The site visit focused on identifying recognized environmental conditions. A site map of the subject property has previously been presented in Figure 4. 5.1 METHODOLOGY AND LIMITING CONDITIONS The site reconnaissance was conducted by visually inspecting all accessible areas of the subject property. No buildings were present on the subject property, so no interior observations were made. Observations of the subject property were made while the property was walked in an organized pattern. Two limiting conditions that were encountered during the site reconnaissance were (1) dense vegetation and vegetation debris across the subject property, and (2) steep topography across much of parcel 003 and portions of parcel 008 of the subject property. Dense vegetation and vegetation debris made it difficult to observe the ground surface over much of the subject property and impossible to access portions of the subject IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 30 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 property. Steep topography made it impossible to access portions of the subject property. Photographs from the site reconnaissance are presented in Appendix C. 5.2 GENERAL SITE SETTING The general site vicinity was (1) a residential subdivision with large single-family residences on medium-sized lots (2 acre), and(2) agricultural areas,principally engaged in cattle grazing. The subject property was bounded to the north by privately-owned land and to the east by sea cliff and the Pacific Ocean at Hakalau Bay. The southeast corner of the subject property was bounded to the east and to the south by publicly-owned land that is used as a beach park. The subject property was bounded to the west by Hawaii Belt Road and a defunct section of roadway that was part of the Old Mamalahoa Highway. A concrete seawall was visible on the adjoining property to the east at the southeast corner of parcel 001 of the subject property. A painted steel truss bridge supporting Hawaii Belt Road bounds parcel 001 and 003 of the subject property. Photographs of the general site setting and adjoining properties are included in Appendix C, Photographs 1 through 13. 5.3 EXTERIOR OBSERVATIONS The subject property was not improved. However, sugarcane plantation era remnant infrastructure was observed on parcel 001 and parcel 008 of the subject property. On parcel 001, concrete footings not related to the Hakalau Stream Bridge were observed in Hakalau Stream. On parcel 008, an area of asphalt paving was observed on the entrance to the property at the northeast corner. Also visible on parcel 008 was a U-shaped concrete retaining wall and a concrete pad near the northwest corner of the parcel. The full extent and a nature of the concrete pad could not be determined because the pad was partially covered with vegetation and soil. Parcel 001 contained a picnic table and appeared to have been used as part of the beach park. Parcel 003 was overgrown with a variety of vegetation. The open and relatively flat areas of parcel 008 had recently been mowed and eroded agricultural furrows were visible in these areas. A 2-foot by 2-foot area of concrete was visible in this area. The east and south sides of parcel 008 were highly vegetated and could not be observed. Areas of disturbed soil, likely from the structural engineering investigation, were observed. Three stands of trees were present on the west side of parcel 008, and the ground surface within these areas could not be observed. Two abandoned tires and limited pieces of scrap metal were observed at locations across parcel 008. Near the central portion of parcel 008, to the west of the field area, a number of pesticide and fertilizer containers were observed. Most were labeled as calcium fertilizer, but containers of herbicide and insecticide were also observed. At least one of the herbicide containers contained a liquid. However, the liquid appeared to be water and did not exhibit a chemical odor. IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 31 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 No indications of recent or past releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products were observed. No indications of UST facilities were observed. Photographs of the exterior areas of the subject property are presented in Appendix C, Photographs 14 though 36. 6.0 INTERVIEWS Evan Pfaff of Insight Environmental conducted interviews with individuals having knowledge of the current or past use of the subject and surrounding properties. The following interviews were conducted. • Charles Brenner, Owner, Marian Land Company • Aaron Lee, Subject property seller's agent Charles Brenner Mr. Charles Brenner is the owner of Marian Land Company, which is the owner of the subject property. In March 2023, Mr. Brenner provided the following information via email via his real estate agent to Mr.John Kocol. Mr.Kocol provided the information to Insight Environmental. I bought the property in 2007 from Jeremy and Angela Thompson, the people who subdivided the property in 2002, without making any serious investigation of the prior uses. Besides being an investment, I was thinking of building a home, but my life took another turn and I have had to remain of the East Coast. I would guess that since 2007, I have been to the property four times with the last one being 2015. I had a friend who lived nearby until 2020 who kept an eye on it for me. Additionally, on April 3, 2023, Insight Environmental interviewed Mr. Brenner. Marian Land Company purchased the property in 2007. Mr. Brenner stated that he purchased the property with little to no review of the history of the property. He has heard stories that the subject property was used to grow sugarcane and that it contained a chute to convey sugarcane down into the gulch. Mr. Brenner stated that he has no knowledge of the past use of the adjoining properties. Mr. Brenner stated that he has not been to the subject property in 8 years. Mr. Brenner stated that he understands the State of Hawaii is testing the soil on a portion of the subject property down by Hakalau Stream for lead related to paint from the bridge. Mr. Brenner has leased a portion of the subject property to a farmer who he understands was growing ginger. Mr. Brenner stated that he did not anticipate that the farmer would use pesticides in his farming practices. Mr. Brenner is unaware of any environmental cleanups or environmental liens associated with the subject property. Mr. Brenner is unaware of any USTs, wells, on-site wastewater systems, or spills or releases of hazardous substances or petroleum products on the subject property. Aaron Lee Mr. Aaron Lee is the real estate agent for the subject property seller, Marian Land Company. In a March 8, 2023 email, Mr.Aaron Lee communicated to the real estate agent of John Kocol that he has spoken with Mr.John Cross. Mr. Cross was the Crop Control Superintendent for Mauna Kea Agribusiness from 1984 until 2005. Mr. Lee communicated that Mr. Cross had stated that the former building on the subject property was a loading station to unload IE543-Insight Environmental LLC 32 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 sugarcane from trucks and transfer it into a flume to be transported to the sugar mill on the south side of Hakalau Gulch. The metal portion of the structure was demolished prior to 2001. Mr.Lee provided a link to a website on Hakalau history that contains a photograph of the flume crossing the gulch (Historic Hawaii Foundation, 2023). 7.0 DATA GAPS, LIMITING CONDITIONS, AND DEVIATONS Two limiting condition that were encountered during the site reconnaissance were (1) dense vegetation and vegetation debris across the subject property, and (2) steep topography across much of parcel 003 and portions of parcel 008 of the subject property. Dense vegetation and vegetation debris made it difficult to observe the ground surface over much of the subject property and impossible to access portions of the subject property. Steep topography made it impossible to access portions of the subject property. The inability to access areas of the subject property due to steep topography are not considered a significant limiting condition because it is considered unlikely that past use of the property would have included these areas, or included activities that could impact the subject property. The inability to access and observe areas of the subject property due to dense vegetation and vegetation debris is considered a significant limiting condition because it may have obscured observations of the subject property that could impact the identification of a REC. This is especially significant on this property because sugarcane plantation era infrastructure is present on the property and subsurface investigations of the property identified infrastructure that was not entirely expected and that, to some extent, included the identification of buried solid waste (scrap metal). Furthermore, the abandonment and burial of solid waste is known to have been a common practice by sugar companies. No data gaps were encountered during this Phase I ESA. No deviations from the Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process were conducted(ASTM International, 2021). 8.0 KEY FINDINGS & OPINION This section evaluates the key findings of this assessment and makes a determination as to the presence of a REC. 8.1 SUBJECT PROPERTY Government records, historical topographic maps, and historical aerial photographs indicate that the subject property was used by various sugar plantations from before 191S until circa the early 1990's. A flume traversed across all three parcels of the subject property, conveying water and sugarcane from the north side of Hakalau Bay to the sugar mill at the bottom of the gulch and the mouth of Hakalau Stream. Footings in Hakalau Stream to the east of Hakalau Bridge are likely remnants of the flume. Parcel 001 and the portion of parcel 003 at the bottom of the gulch were likely part of the sugar mill complex. Parcel 008 was under sugarcane cultivation throughout this period but also contained an unloading station where harvested sugarcane was IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 33 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 unloaded and transferred into the flume. Concrete structures and asphalt and concrete paving from this station are still present and visible on the property. The excavation of test pits near the northwest corner of parcel 008 located concrete vaults and channels that are considered likely to be historic storm water drainage infrastructure or part of the sugarcane unloading station. Parcel 001 of the subject property was directly adjacent to the former sugar mill and was part of the mill complex. Investigations of sugar mills throughout Hawaii have consistently identified soils impacted with a variety of contaminants including arsenic, lead, petroleum hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. Based on this pattern of contamination and the proximity of parcel 001 to the sugar mill, it is considered likely that soil and possibly groundwater on parcel 001 has been impacted by one or more of these contaminants. As a result, the past use of parcel 001 as part of a sugar mill complex is a recognized environmental condition. Based on historical practice of the sugarcane industry and post-sugarcane era property developers, it is considered likely that concrete, metal, and possibly other debris are buried at locations across the property. This is a key finding of this Phase I ESA, but the presence of buried concrete and metal does not indicate that hazardous substance or petroleum product contamination is present and as a result is not a recognized environmental condition. High concentrations of agricultural chemicals in soil, associated with past sugarcane production, have typically been found at pesticide mixing areas and mill sites. However, agricultural chemicals at concentrations of concern have also been found in some field areas (State of Hawai'i Department of Health, 2009). The pesticide mixing area that likely served the field areas of parcel 008 is located on the south side of Hakalau Bay, hydraulically separated from the subject property, and reducing the likelihood of excessive application of pesticides or pesticide-laden wastes to the subject property. While the past use of the subject property for sugarcane production is a key finding of this Phase I ESA, this alone does not meet the definition of a REC under the Phase I ESA Standard. Thus, the past use of the subject property for sugarcane production is not a recognized environmental condition. The details of flume operations are unknown. However, in general, sugarcane was unloaded from trucks into a holding area, where it was then loaded into the flume to be transported via flowing water to the mill. Operation of the flume may have required the periodic removal of soil sediment from the flume. This sediment would likely have been applied to the field areas of parcel 008. While this activity may have added pesticide-impacted sediment to parcel 008, there is no compelling evidence that this significantly impacted the soil of parcel 008 any more than the routine application of pesticides that would have occurred on field areas. As a result, the operation of a sugarcane and water transportations flume and sugarcane unloading station on parcel 008 is a key finding of this Phase I ESA but is not a recognized environmental condition. Portions of parcel 008 were under ginger and possibly sweet potato cultivation from approximately 201S until approximately 2022. Evidence of pesticide and fertilizer use as part of this farming activity was present on the property. However, the pesticides readily in use during IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 34 ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 this time period are unlikely to be recalcitrant. As a result, use of the subject property for ginger and possibly sweet potato farming is not a recognized environmental condition. 8.2 SURROUNDING PROPERTIES Government records, historical topographic maps, and historical aerial photographs indicate that the surrounding properties had a similar development and use history to the subject property. Property to the north and west of the subject property was under sugarcane cultivation. The Hakalau Gulch area to the west of the subject property contained roads that transited the gulch and also accessed the sugar mill to the east and south of parcel 001 of the subject property at the mouth of Hakalau Stream. How far the sugar mill complex extended upstream is unknown, but there is little evidence that it extended much beyond the mill proper, and there is little flat land within the gulch that could have been used for mill complex activities. Since the end of sugarcane cultivation, property to the west of parcel 008 of the subject property has remained in agriculture, principally cattle grazing, while property to the north has been developed for residential use. Lead contaminated soil associated with the past use of lead-based paint on Hakalau Bridge has been identified in soil on parcel 001 of the subject property. The soil on parcel 003 has not been tested for lead, but given the proximity of the property to the bridge and the identified impacts to parcel 001, it is considered likely that lead paint from Hakalau Bridge has impacted parcel 003 as well. As a result, the identified presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 001 is a recognized environmental condition. The suspected presence of lead-impacted soil on parcel 003 is a recognized environmental condition. A deep road cut, initially for the railroad line and subsequently for Hawaii Belt Road, has long divided parcel 008 of the subject property from more inland fields, limiting the migration of soil from those fields onto the subject property. For property to the north of the subject property, topography would tend to cause eroded soils to move east and not south onto the subject property. As a result, it is considered unlikely that there has ever been considerable migration of off-site soil onto the subject property. Additionally, there is no indication that soils on surrounding agricultural fields were treated with agricultural chemicals in a manner any different than the fields of the subject property. As a result, the past and current use of the surrounding properties to the north and west are not a recognized environmental condition. IES43-Insight Environmental LLC 3S ...Insightful Solutions Phase I ESA Report for Hakalau Bay Property,Hawaii Belt Road,Hakalau,Hawaii,Hawaii April 2023 9.0 CONCLUSION Insight Environmental performed a Phase I ESA in conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM EIS27-21 of the subject property identified as the Hakalau Bay property located along Hawaii Belt Road, Hakalau, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii; and identified by TMK (3) 3-1- 001:001, 003, and 008.

NPL sites may encompass relatively large areas.As such, EDR provides polygon coverage for over 1,000 NPL site boundaries produced by EPA's Environmental Photographic Interpretation Center(EPIC)and regional EPA offices. NPL-National Priority List Proposed NPL-Proposed National Priority List Sites. NPL LIENS-Federal Superfund Liens. NPL Delisted: Delisted NPL The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan(NCP)establishes the criteria that the EPA uses to delete sites from the NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425.(e),sites may be deleted from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. Delisted NPL-National Priority List Deletions CERCLIS: SEMS SEMS(Superfund Enterprise Management System)tracks hazardous waste sites, potentially hazardous waste sites,and remedial activities performed in support of EPA's Superfund Program across the United States. The list was formerly know as CERCLIS,renamed to SEMS by the EPA in 2015.The list contains data on potentially hazardous waste sites that have been reported to the USEPA by states,municipalities, private companies and private persons,pursuant to Section 103 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,and Liability Act (CERCLA).This dataset also contains sites which are either proposed to or on the National Priorities List(NPL) and the sites which are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion on the NPL. SEMS-Superfund Enterprise Management System NFRAP: SEMS-ARCHIVE SEMS-ARCHIVE(Superfund Enterprise Management System Archive)tracks sites that have no further interest under the Federal Superfund Program based on available information.The list was formerly known as the CERCLIS-NFRAP,renamed to SEMS ARCHIVE by the EPA in 2015. EPA may perform a minimal level of assessment work at a site while it is archived if site conditions change and/or new information becomes available.Archived sites have been removed and archived from the inventory of SEMS sites.Archived status indicates that,to the best of EPA's knowledge,assessment at a site has been completed and that EPA has determined no further steps will be taken to list the site on the National Priorities List(NPL), unless information indicates this decision was not appropriate or other considerations require a recommendation for listing at a later time.The decision does not necessarily mean that there is no hazard associated with a given site; it only means that. based upon available information,the location is not judged to be potential NPL site.SEMS-ARCHIVE-Superfund Enterprise Management System Archive RCRA COR ACT:CORRACTS CORRACTS identifies hazardous waste handlers with RCRA corrective action activity.

EDR Exclusive: EDR MGP The EDR Proprietary Manufactured Gas Plant Database includes records of coal gas plants (manufactured gas plants)compiled by EDR's researchers. Manufactured gas sites were used in the United States from the 1800's to 1950's to produce a gas that could be distributed and used as fuel.These plants used whale oil, rosin,coal,or a mixture of coal,oil,and water that also produced a significant amount of waste. Many of the byproducts of the gas production,such as coal tar(oily waste containing volatile and non-volatile chemicals), sludges,oils and other compounds are potentially hazardous to human health and the environment.The byproduct from this process was frequently disposed of directly at the plant site and can remain or spread slowly,serving as a continuous source of soil and groundwater contamination.

The current submittal included an SMA Use Permit Assessment Application, site plans, an aerial photo of the project area, and photos of an existing mill structure within the project area.The proposed project area comprises a 5.263-acre portion of the 7.347-acre parcel.The project scope of work includes the following: 1. Planting,cultivating, and maintaining of an`ulu(Breadfruit)orchard of approximately 263 trees on 3.25 irrigated acres, and vetiver on 0.724 acres. 2. Construction of the following structures: a 2,799-sq.-ft. farm dwelling, 2,075-sq.-ft. area of accessory structures (garage, lanai, etc.), an additional 744-sq.-ft. farm dwelling, a 732-sq.-ft. area of accessory structures, a 2,250-sq.-ft. storage shed, a 100-sq.-ft. well/irrigation pump station, and a 150-sq.-ft. chicken coop. 3. Manual clearing of large vegetation(invasive trees). 4. Installation of an irrigation system 6 in.to 12 in.below the ground surface,and the installation of-2,135 ft. of ungulate fencing around the project area. The 2,250-sq.-ft. storage shed will be built within the footprint of an existing three-walled concrete structure. This structure is associated with the Hakalau Sugar Mill(1881-1973)and was used to stage sugarcane prior to being loaded onto the flume.The structure is over 50 years old and is considered a historic property per HRS §6E-2.The concrete structure has been assigned SIHP # 50-10-16-31388 and is significant under Criterion a for its association with the history of Sugar Mill production in Hawaii.The proposed storage shed within the footprint of the three-walled concrete structure allows the continued use of the historic structure as a storage facility and will not have an effect on significant historic properties. The project parcel was previously impacted by ground-disturbing activities associated with sugarcane cultivation and transportation (flume), and by agricultural activities since 2007. Based on a photo dated 1925, the flume was once located on the cliff/pali portion of the project parcel where no project activities are proposed. SHPD records indicate that no previous archaeological studies included the current project area and that no historic properties have been Planning Dept. Exhibit 2 Mr.Pause August 24,2023 Page 2 previously identified within the project parcel. Additionally, contemporary aerial imagery indicates that portions of the project area have been repeatedly impacted by vegetation clearing and agricultural activities. Based on available information,SHPD's determination is No historic properties affected pursuant to HAR§13-284- 7(a)(1). Pursuant to HAR§13-284-7(e),when the SHPD agrees that the action will not affect any significant historic properties, this is the SHPD's written concurrence, and the historic preservation review ends. The HRS 6E historic preservation review process is ended.The permit issuance process may continue. Please contact Mary Kodama, Historic Architect, at mary.kodama(cbhawaii.gov for any questions regarding architectural resources, or Joshua Gastilo at Joshua. ag stiloRhawaii.gov for any questions regarding archaeological resources or concerns regarding this letter.

Obtain an Official Species List(OSL) from our Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) online tool (directions attached). Even if there is no federal nexus for this project, this list will provide you (and the landowners)with species who's ranges include the project footprint/land parcel. Directions how to obtain an OSL are attached. Our IPaC OSL will provide a comprehensive list of listed species that may be in or transect the project area. A few species likely to be included on your list are seabirds and night lighting recommendations, bats and tree trimming recommendations (see below example), Hawaiian goose, and possibly sea turtles due to the beach below the parcel under the Hakalau bridge. Under each species on this list you will find a link that provides USFWS recommended avoidance and minimization measures respectively. For example: Endangered Hawaiian hoary bat(Lasiurus cinereussemotus):The Hawaiian hoary bat roosts in woody vegetation across all islands and will leave their young unattended in trees and shrubs when they forage. If trees or shrubs 15 feet or taller are cleared during the pupping season,June 1 through September 15,there is a risk that young bats could inadvertently be harmed or killed, since they are too young to fly or move away from disturbance. Hawaiian hoary bats forage for insects from as low as 3 feet to higher than 500 feet above the ground and can become entangled in barbed wire used for fencing. To avoid and minimize impacts to the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat we recommend you incorporate the following applicable measures into your project description: • Do not disturb, remove, or trim woody plants greater than 15 feet tall during the bat birthing and pup rearing season (June 1 through September 15). • Do not use barbed wire for fencing. 3. We are also attaching our Best Management Practices (BMPs)for Invasive Species Biosecurity and projects in or near aquatic environments. 4. The project describes the use of Vetiver grass for erosion control. Per our aquatic BMPs, we encourage effective erosion control to protect marine and coastal environments. The use of biosocks or something similar may help while the grass is developing roots. If you have any questions pertaining to our recommendations, please contact me for further information.

IPaC has been used by continental USFWS offices to provide official species lists and avoidance and minimization guidance since 2017. Using IPaC expedites the process for species list distribution. Obtaining a species list in IPaC is relatively straightforward and takes minimal time to complete. Step by step instructions are included below. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of your species list should be verified after 90 days. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change the species list. Verification can be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation. An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to obtain the initial species list. We hope this process provides efficiencies to our partners in obtaining a species list. For federal action agencies, it also opens additional IPaC functionality that the PIFWO office is still working on, such as the use of Determination Keys for informal section 7 programmatic consultations. We will let our agency partners know when that functionality becomes available. If you have questions about a species list obtained through the IPaC system or need assistance in completing an IPaC species list request,please contact the Service at 808-792-9400 or via email at pifwo admin(a,fws.gov. We appreciate your efforts to conserve listed species across the Pacific Islands.

For example, seeds of invasive plant species (e.g., Chromolaena odorata, Senecio madagascariensis, Cyathea cooperi, or Miconia calvescens) can be inadvertently transported on equipment from a previous work site to a new site where the species are not present. Likewise, equipment used in an area infected with a pathogen or insect pest that can have ecological consequences (e.g., rapid `ohi`a death (Ceratocystis spp.), black twig borer(Xylosandrus compactus), or naio thrips (Klambothrips myopori), if not properly decontaminated, can act as a vector to introduce the pathogen into a new area. Additionally, vehicles must be properly inspected and cleaned to ensure vertebrate or invertebrate pests do not stowaway and spread to other areas. These are just a few examples of how even well-intended project activities may inadvertently introduce or spread invasive species. To avoid and minimize invasive species potential impacts to fish, wildlife, and their habitat we recommend incorporating general biosecurity protocols into your project planning (see below). Additional consultation is recommended if project activities involve transportation of materials, equipment, vehicles, etc. between islands or transpacific movement of materials or equipment. Invasive Species Biosecurity Protocol The following biosecurity protocol is recommended to be incorporated into planning for your project to avoid or minimize transportation of invasive species with potential to impact to fish, wildlife, and their habitat. Cleaning, treatment, and/or inspection activities are the responsibility of the equipment or vehicle owner and operator. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the action agency to ensure that all project materials, vehicles, machinery, equipment, and personnel are free of invasive species before entry into a project site. Please refer to the resources listed below for current removal/treatment recommendations that may be relevant to your proj ect. 1. Cleaning and treatment: Project applicants should assume that all project materials (i.e., construction materials, or aggregate such as dirt, sand, gravel, etc.), vehicles, machinery, and equipment contain dirt and mud, debris, plant seeds, and other invasive species, and therefore require thorough cleaning. Treatment for specific pests, for example, trapping and poison baiting for rodents, or baiting and fumigation for insects, should be considered when applicable. For effective cleaning we offer the following recommendations prior to entry into a project site: a. Project materials, vehicles, machinery, and equipment must be pressure washed thoroughly (preferably with hot water) in a designated cleaning area. Project materials, vehicles, machinery, and equipment should be visibly free of mud/dirt (excluding aggregate), seeds, plant debris, insects, spiders, frogs (including frog eggs), other vertebrate species (e.g., rodents, mongoose, feral cats, reptiles, etc.), and rubbish. Areas of particular concern include bumpers, grills, hood compartments, wheel wells, undercarriage, cabs, and truck beds. Truck beds with accumulated material are prime sites for hitchhiking invasive species. b. The interior and exterior of vehicles, machinery, and equipment must be free of rubbish and food, which can attract pests (i.e., rodents and insects). The interiors of vehicles and the cabs of machinery should be vacuumed clean particularly for any plant material or seeds. 2. Inspection: a. Following cleaning and/or treatment, project materials, vehicles, machinery, and equipment, must be visually inspected by its user, and be free of mud/dirt (excluding aggregate), debris, and invasive species prior to entry into a project site. For example, careful visual inspection of a vehicle's tires and undercarriage is recommended for any remaining mud that could contain invasive plant seeds. b. Any project materials, vehicles, machinery, or equipment found to contain invasive species (e.g., plant seeds, invertebrates, rodents, mongoose, cats, reptiles, etc.) must not enter the project site until those invasive species are properly removed/treated. 3. For all project site personnel: a. Prior to entry into the project site, visually inspect and clean your clothes, boots or other footwear, backpack, radio harness, tools and other personal gear and equipment for insects, seeds, soil, plant parts, or other debris. We recommend the use of a cleaning brush with sturdy bristles. Seeds found on clothing, footwear, backpacks, etc., should be placed in a secure bag or similar container and discarded in the trash rather than being dropped to ground at the project site or elsewhere. 4. Additional considerations (if applicable): a. Consider implementing a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point(HACCP) plan (https://www.fws.gov/policy/A1750fwl.html)to improve project planning around reducing the risk of introducing or spreading invasive species. b. When applicable, use pest-free or low-risk sources of plants, mulch, wood, animal feed or other materials to be transported to a project site. c. For projects involving plants from nurseries (e.g., outplanting activities, etc.), all plants should be inspected, and if necessary, appropriately cleaned or treated for invasive species prior to being transported to the project site. d. Avoid unnecessary exposure to invasive species at a particular site (to the extent practical) to reduce contamination and spread. For example, if your project involves people or equipment moving between multiple locations, plan and organize timelines so that work is completed in native habitat prior to working in a disturbed location to reduce the likelihood of introducing a pest into the native habitat. e. Maintain good communication about invasive species risks between project managers and personnel working on the project site (e.g., conduct briefings and training about invasive species). Ensure prevention measures are communicated to the entire project team. Also consider adding language on biosecurity into contracts or permitting mechanisms to provide clarity to all involved in the project. Report any species of concern or possible introduction of invasive species to appropriate land managers.

Other invasive species may not have existing specific protocols or may already be minimized by implementing the general invasive species protocols above (e.g., invasive plants, invertebrates, larger vertebrates). Information on other invasive species can be found in the island specific links below. As new threats emerge that require development of species-specific protocols, those may be added to this list.

Current Distribution of ROD: island of Hawaii, Oahu,Kauai Rapid `Ohi`a Death (ROD) is a caused by a fungal pathogen (Ceratocystis spp.) that attacks and kills `ohi`a trees (Metrosideros polymorpha). `Ohi`a is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and is the most abundant native tree species, comprising approximately 80 percent of Hawai`i's remaining native forests. For more information about ROD including its current distribution, ROD science updates, and the latest on ROD protocol, please visit www.rapidohiadeath.org. To reduce the risk of spreading ROD, the following best management practices and decontamination protocol are recommended: Best Management Practices for ROD 1. Never transport any part of an `ohi`a tree between different areas of an island or to a different island. 2. Do not use equipment from ROD infected islands on another island unless it is very specialized equipment and follows the decontamination protocol described below. 3. Avoid wounding `6hi`a trees and roots with mowers, chainsaws, weed eaters, and other tools. If an `6hi`a receives a minor injury like a small broken branch, then give the injury a clean, pruning-type cut(close to the main part of the trunk or branch) to promote healing, and then spray the entire wounded area with a pruning seal. 4. Always report suspect ROD `6hi`a trees observed within you project area. ROD is a wilt disease that cuts off the supply of water and nutrients to the tree. The primary symptom to look for is an entire canopy or a large branch with dying leaves or red discolored leaves. Please record the GPS coordinates and location and take a picture of the tree if possible. Please report suspected ROD `6hi`a trees to the following agencies: a. Island of Hawaii —BIISC: 808-969-8268 (ohialove@hawaii.edu) b. Maui—MISC: 808-573-6472 (miscpr@hawaii.edu) c. Moloka`i —TNC: 808-553-5236 ext. 6585 (lbuchanan@tnc.org) d. O`ahu—OISC: 808-266-7994 (oisc@hawaii.edu) e. Kaua`i —KISC: 808-821-1490 (kisc@hawaii.edu) ROD Decontamination Protocol 1. Clothes, footwear, backpacks, and other personal equipment a. Before leaving the project site, remove as much mud and other contaminants as possible. Use of a brush with soap and water to clean gear is preferred. Footwear, backpacks, and other gear must be sanitized by spraying with a solution of>70 percent isopropyl alcohol or a freshly mixed 10 percent bleach solution. 2. Vehicles, machinery, and other equipment a. Vehicles, machinery, and other equipment must be thoroughly hosed down with water (pressure washing preferred) and visibly free of mud and debris, then sprayed with a solution of>70 percent isopropyl alcohol or a freshly mixed 10 percent bleach solution. Use of a"pump-pot" sprayer is recommended for the solution and a hot water wash is preferred. Be sure to thoroughly clean the undercarriage, truck bed, bumpers, and wheel wells. b. If non-decontaminated personnel or items enter a vehicle, then the inside of the vehicle (i.e., floor mats, etc.) must be subsequently decontaminated by removing mud and other contaminants and sprayed with the one of the same aforementioned sanitizing solutions. 3. Cutting tools a. All cutting tools, including machetes, chainsaws, and loppers must be sanitized to remove visible mud and other contaminants. Tools must be sanitized using a solution of>70 percent isopropyl alcohol or a freshly mixed 10 percent bleach solution. One minute after sanitizing, one may apply an oil-based lubricant to chainsaw chains or other metallic parts to prevent corrosion as bleach is corrosive to metal. NOTE: When using a 10 percent bleach solution, surfaces should be cleaned with a minimum contact time of 30 seconds. Bleach must be mixed daily and used within 24 hours, as once mixed it degrades. Bleach will not work to disinfect surfaces that have high levels of organic matter such as sawdust or soil. Because bleach is also corrosive to metal, a water rinse after proper sanitization is recommended to avoid corrosion. Little Fire Ant(LFA) For the most current status on distribution and infestations, please visit http://stoptheant.or /g lfa- in-hawaii/ The little fire ant(Wasmannia auropunctata), or LFA, is an invasive species with a painful sting that can inhabit many different environments. In Hawaii, it often infests agricultural fields and farms, damaging crops and stinging unsuspecting workers. Little fire ants are also highly disruptive to native tropical ecosystems and harmful to wildlife. Slow moving, but tiny and capable of foraging 24 hours a day with multiple queens per colony, LFA is a formidable threat to biodiversity, agriculture, and quality of life on tropical islands in the Pacific. For more information about LFA including helpful guides and workshops for treating or detecting LFA, please visit www.littlefireants.com. To reduce the risk of spreading LFA, the following biosecurity protocol is recommended: Biosecurity Protocol for LFA 1. For projects involving plants from nurseries (e.g., outplanting activities, etc.), all plants should be inspected for little fire ants and other pests prior to being transported to the project site. If plants are found to be infested by ants of any species, plants should be sourced from an alternative nursery and the infested nursery should follow treatment protocols recommended by the Hawaii Ant Lab (https://Iittlefireants.com/wp- content/upl oads/2020-Management-of-Pest-Ants-i n-Nurseries-min.pdf). 2. All work vehicles, machinery, and equipment should follow steps 1 and 2 in the "Invasive Species Biosecurity Protocol" for(1) cleaning and treatment and(2) inspection for invasive ants prior to entering a project site. 3. Any machinery, vehicles, equipment, or other supplies found to be infested with ants (or other invasive species) must not enter the project site until it is properly treated (https:Hlittlefireants.com/how-to-treat-for-little-fire-ants-for- homeowners/#recommended-bait-products) and re-tested. Infested vehicles must be treated following recommendations by the Hawaii Ant Lab (https://Iittlefireants.com/resource-center/) or another ant control expert and in accordance with all State and Federal laws. Treatment is the responsibility of the equipment or vehicle owner. Ultimately however, it is the responsibility of the action agency to ensure that all project materials, vehicles, machinery, and equipment follow the appropriate protocol(s). 4. General Vehicle Ant Hygiene: Even the cleanest vehicle can pick up and spread little fire ant. Place MaxForce Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait(1.0 percent Hydramethylnon; https://Iabelsds.com/images/user uploads/Maxforce%20Complete%20Label%201-5- 18.pdf) into refillable tamper resistant bait stations. An example of a commercially available refillable tamper resistant bait station is the Ant Cafe Pro (https://www.antcafe.com/). Place a bait station (or stations) in the vehicle and note that larger vehicles, such as trucks, may require multiple stations. Monitor bait stations frequently (every week at a minimum) and replace bait as needed. If the bait station does not have a sticker to identify the contents, apply a sticker listing contents to the station. 5. Gravel, building materials, or other equipment such as portable buildings should be baited using MaxForce Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait(1.0 percent Hydramethylnon; https://Iabelsds.com/images/user_uploads/Maxforce%20Complete%20Label%201-5- 18Tpdf) or AmdroPro (0.73 percent Hydramethylnon; https://connpest.com/labels/AMDROPRO.pdf) following label guidance. 6. Storage areas that hold field tools, especially tents, tarps, and clothing should be baited using MaxForce Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait(1.0 percent Hydramethylnon; https://Iabelsds.com/images/user uploads/Maxforce%20Complete%2OLabel%201-5- 18.pdf) or AmdroPro (0.73 percent Hydramethylnon; https://connpest.com/labels/AMDROPRO.pdf) following label guidance. 7. Vehicles that have entered a project site known or thought to overlap with areas infested with LFA should subsequently be tested for LFA with baiting in accordance with protocol recommended by the Hawaii Ant Lab (https:Hlittlefireants.com/survey-your- home-for-lfa/). 8. If LFA are detected, please report it to 808-643-PEST (Hawai`i), 671-475-PEST (Guam), or 684-699-1575 (American Samoa). Please visit https://Iittlefireants.com/identification- of-little-fire-ants/for assistance in identifying LFA. Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB): while not currently on the island of Hawaii, including as fyi. For projects that involve movement or creation of green waste and occur on islands where CRB is currently found. Only include the biosecurity protocol pertaining to the geographic area of the project(O`ahu or Marianas). For projects in American Samoa contact the invasive species team. Current Distribution of CRB: Oahu, Guam, Rota, and American Samoa The coconut rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros), or CRB, is a large, horned scarab beetle native to Southeast Asia. An invasive pest where it occurs outside of its native range, the adult beetles primarily attack coconut palms by boring into the crowns to feed on developing leaves. It is also known to feed on bananas, sugarcane, pineapples, oil palms, and pandanus trees. The larval grub stage burrow into and feed upon decomposing mulch and vegetation. On most Pacific Islands it lacks natural predators, leading to severe declines and extirpations of palm species where it has become established. On Guam, researchers have recently documented a shift of CRB to the island's native and threatened cycad tree (Cycas micronesica) (Marler et al. 2020). In the Hawaiian Islands, CRB is a documented threat to archipelago's native Pritchardia palm species. For more information about CRB including the current situation in Guam and high/low-risk areas on Oahu, please visit http://cnas-re.uog.edu/crb/ or https://www.crbhawaii.oW/. To reduce the risk of spreading CRB, the following biosecurity protocol is recommended: Biosecurity Protocol for CRB (O`ahu) 1. Never transport green waste between islands and minimize the creation, storage, and transport of green waste within Oahu, this also includes: a. Mulch, bark, compost b. Soil of any kind c. Potted plants of any kind Additional consultation is recommended if the project involves transportation of materials, soil, equipment, vehicles, etc. between islands. 2. If felling or trimming palms, contact CRB Response for a free inspection ((808) 679- 5244 or email at info o crbhawaii.org) 3. Keep green waste whole until it is ready to be treated and removed. a. Chip green waste on site and transport it on the same day to a secure and managed green waste disposal site/facility. b. For chipped green waste in high-risk areas, re-chip prior to movement outside the infested area, treat with pesticide (when applicable), heat treatment(>130 degrees F), spread and dry, or store in sealed durable containers. 4. Minimize accumulations of green waste by regularly treating mulch piles or depositing it in sealed green waste bins. In low-risk areas, we also recommend thinly spreading mulch (less than 2 inches deep) and allowing it to dry (no irrigation). 5. If injured or dying coconut palm trees are observed or if CRB are detected, contact CRB Response at(808) 679-5244 or email at info@crbhawaii.org or online at https://www.crbhawaii.org/report U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Recommended Standard Best Management Practices The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)recommends the following measures to be incorporated into project planning to avoid or minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Best Management Practices (BMPs)include the incorporation of procedures or materials that may be used to reduce either direct or indirect negative impacts to aquatic habitats that result from project construction-related activities. These BMPs are recommended in addition to, and do not over-ride any terms,conditions, or other recommendations prepared by the USFWS,other federal, state or local agencies. If you have questions concerning these BMPs,please contact the USFWS Aquatic Ecosystems Conservation Program at 808-792-9400. 1. Authorized dredging and filling-related activities that may result in the temporary or permanent loss of aquatic habitats should be designed to avoid indirect,negative impacts to aquatic habitats beyond the planned project area. 2. Dredging/filling in the marine environment should be scheduled to avoid coral spawning and recruitment periods, and sea turtle nesting and hatching periods. Because these periods are variable throughout the Pacific islands,we recommend contacting the relevant local, state, or federal fish and wildlife resource agency for site specific guidance. 3. Turbidity and siltation from project-related work should be minimized and contained within the project area by silt containment devices and curtailing work during flooding or adverse tidal and weather conditions. BMPs should be maintained for the life of the construction period until turbidity and siltation within the project area is stabilized. All project construction-related debris and sediment containment devices should be removed and disposed of at an approved site. 4. All project construction-related materials and equipment(dredges, vessels,backhoes, silt curtains, etc.)to be placed in an aquatic environment should be inspected for pollutants including,but not limited to;marine fouling organisms, grease, oil,etc., and cleaned to remove pollutants prior to use. Project related activities should not result in any debris disposal,non-native species introductions, or attraction of non-native pests to the affected or adjacent aquatic or terrestrial habitats. Implementing both a litter-control plan and a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan (HACCP—see https://www.fws.gov/policy/A1750fwl.html)can help to prevent attraction and introduction of non-native species. 5. Project construction-related materials (fill,revetment rock, pipe,etc.)should not be stockpiled in, or in close proximity to aquatic habitats and should be protected from erosion (e.g.,with filter fabric, etc.), to prevent materials from being carried into waters by wind,rain,or high surf. 6. Fueling of project-related vehicles and equipment should take place away from the aquatic environment and a contingency plan to control petroleum products accidentally spilled during the project should be developed. The plan should be retained on site with the person responsible for compliance with the plan. Absorbent pads and containment booms should be stored on-site to facilitate the clean-up of accidental petroleum releases. 7. All deliberately exposed soil or under-layer materials used in the project near water should be protected from erosion and stabilized as soon as possible with geotextile, filter fabric or native or non-invasive vegetation matting,hydro-seeding,etc. E'O F..yq STATE OF HAWAI'I JOSH GREEN,M.D. .�pr�''''•1959"•••9 GOVERNOR ell OFFICE OF PLANNING SYLVIALUKE LT.GOVERNOR & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MAR EVANS �� INTERIM � DIRECTOR ✓`• r4 �4p•.„„_ Qom 235 South Beretania Street,6th Floor,Honolulu,Hawai'i 96813 Telephone: (808)587-2846 Mailing Address: P.O.Box 2359,Honolulu,Hawai'i 96804 Fax: (808)587-2824 Web: https://planning.hawaii.gov/ Coastal Zone Management DTS 202307251323NA Program Environmental Review August 23, 2023 Program Mr. Zendo Kern, Director Land Use Commission Department of Planning Land Use Division County of Hawaii East Hawaii Office Special Plans Branch 101 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 Hilo, Hawaii 96720 State Transit-Oriented Development Statewide Geographic Dear Mr. Kern: Information System Statewide Subject: Special Management Area Use Permit Application (PL-SMA-2023- Sustainability Branch 000034) to Construct a Farm Dwelling, Additional Farm Dwelling, Orchard and Agricultural Activities, and Related Development,North Hilo, Hawaii; Tax Map Key: (3) 3-1-001: 008. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Special Management Area Use Permit Application(PL-SMA-2023-000034), transmitted via memorandum dated July 25, 2023,to construct a farm dwelling, additional farm dwelling, orchard and agricultural activities, and related development, North Hilo, Hawaii. According to the subject application, Hana U`I LLC proposes to construct a farm dwelling, additional farm dwelling, and related development in an existing platted subdivision. The entire 7.347-acre property is zoned Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a)by the County. A 5.263 acre portion of the parcel is designated Agricultural by the State Land Use Commission, and the remaining portion lies within the State Land Use Conservation district. The proposed project will take place exclusively within the State Land Use Agricultural District. The proposed project encompasses the following: o The construction of a farm dwelling; single story, three-bedroom, three- bathroom,2,799 square foot home with an attached 831 square foot two car garage. Including the lanais, entrance and garage, the total accessory square footage is 2,075; o The construction of an additional farm dwelling; single story, two- bedroom, two-bathroom, 744 square foot living area and 732 square accessory structure area; Planning Dept. Exhibit 11 Mr. Zendo Kern August 23, 2023 Page 2 o The construction of a 2,400 square foot storage shed for farm equipment; o The construction of a 100 square foot well/irrigation pump station; o The construction of a 150 square foot chicken coop; o The planting, cultivating and maintaining of an 'Ulu (Breadfruit) orchard of approximately 263 trees on 3.25 irrigated acres; and o The planting, cultivating and maintaining of vetiver on 0.724 acres as a livestock feed crop that will help stabilize the Pali. To mitigate the risk of Pali sloughing to a much lesser degree, the primary farm dwelling will be 160 feet from the vertical Pali edge based on current projections, which would take 240 years to reach the dwelling. The proposed project is consistent with the State Land Use District, the County of Hawaii Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide designation, and the zoning. The construction of the dwelling would utilize electricity initially supplied to the site by Hawaii Electric Light Company. A solar array will power the dwelling once completed along with at least one electric vehicle. Water would be provided for initial construction and use by the residence from a well permitted by the State, located in the northwest corner of the lot. Wastewater would be managed with the construction of an on-site individual wastewater system permitted by the State Department of Health. The property is entirely located within Flood Zone X, areas determined to be outside of the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. At an elevation of a minimum of 170 feet above mean sea level, the project area is located outside of the 3.2 sea level rise exposure area.

Be advised that 44CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter B, Part 60 reflects the minimum standards as set forth by the NFIP. Local community flood ordinances may stipulate higher standards that can be more restrictive and would take precedence over the minimum NFIP standards. The owner of the project property and/or their representative is responsible to research the Flood Hazard Zone designation for the project. Flood zones subject to NFIP requirements are identified on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The official FIRMs can be accessed through FEMA's Map Service Center(msc.fema.gov). Our Flood Hazard Assessment Tool (FHAT) (fhat.hawaii.gov) could also be used to research flood hazard information.

TSUJI, Administrator Land Division FROM: KATHRYN STANAWAY, Acting Wildlife Program Manager Division of Forestry and Wildlife SUBJECT: Hana U'I LLC 'Ulu Orchard and Residence Special Management Area Use Permit Application (PL-SMA-2023-000034) in Hakalua, Hawaii Island The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) has received your request for comments on the Hana U'I LLC 'Ulu Orchard and residence SMA application (PL-SMA-2023-000034) at 31-144 Hawai'i Belt Road in Hakalua in the District of Hilo on the island of Hawaii. The site is located just north of the Hakalua bridge in an existing platted subdivision-, TMK- (3)-3-1-001-008-0000. The site is accessed from a private portion of the Old Mamalahoa Hwy, running makai and parallel to Hwy 19. This parcel is located in the Special Management Area (SMA). The entire 7.347-acre property is zoned Agricultural-20 acres (A-20a) by the County. A 5.263 portion of this parcel is designated Agricultural by the State Land Use Commission. The remaining 2.03 acre portion lies within the State Land Use Conservation district. This entire project would take place exclusively within the State Land Use Agricultural District. There will be no development in the Conservation area. The project proposes the planting, cultivating and maintaining of an 'Ulu orchard of approximately 263 trees on 3.25 irrigated acres. The project also proposes the planting, cultivating, and maintaining of vetiver on 0.724 acres. Finally, the project involves the construction of a farm home with a garage and accessory outdoor footprint, as well as an additional 744 square foot farm dwelling with accessory footprint, a 2400 square foot storage shed, a 100 square foot well pump housing, and a 150 square foot chicken coop. The State listed `Ope`ape`a or Hawaiian Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) could potentially occur at or in the vicinity of the project and may roost in nearby trees. Any required site clearing should be timed to avoid disturbance to bats during their birthing and pup rearing season (June 1 through September 15). During this period woody plants greater than 15 feet (4.6 meters) tall should not be disturbed, removed, or trimmed. Barbed wire should also be avoided for any construction because bats can become ensnared and killed by such fencing material during flight. Artificial lighting can adversely impact seabirds that may pass through the area at night by causing them to become disoriented. This disorientation can result in their collision with manmade structures or the grounding of birds. For nighttime work that might be required, DOFAW recommends that all lights used be fully shielded to minimize the attraction of seabirds. Nighttime work that requires outdoor lighting should be avoided during the seabird fledging season, from September 15 through December 15, when young seabirds make their maiden voyage to sea. If nighttime construction is required during the seabird fledgling season (September 15 to December 15), we recommend that a qualified biologist be present at the project site to monitor and assess the risk of seabirds being attracted or grounded due to the lighting. If seabirds are seen circling around the area, lights should then be turned off. If a downed seabird is detected, please follow DOFAW's recommended response protocol by visiting https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/wildlife/seabird-fallout-season/#response. Permanent lighting also poses a risk of seabird attraction, and as such should be minimized or eliminated to protect seabird flyways and preserve the night sky. For illustrations and guidance related to seabird-friendly light styles that also protect seabirds and the dark starry skies of Hawaii please visit https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/wildlife/files/2016/03/DOC439.pdf. The State listed Nene or Hawaiian Goose (Branta sandvicensis) could potentially occur in the vicinity of the proposed project site. It is against State law to harm or harass these species. If any are present during construction, all activities within 100 feet (30 meters) should cease and the bird or birds should not be approached. Work may continue after the bird or birds leave the area of their own accord. If a nest is discovered at any point, please contact the Hawaii Island Branch DOFAW Office at (808) 974-4221 . The State listed `lo or Hawaiian Hawk (Buteo solitarius) may occur in the project vicinity. Prior to undertaking vegetation clearing, DOFAW recommends that pre-construction surveys of the area be conducted by a qualified biologist following appropriate survey methods (Gorressen et al., 2008) to ensure no Hawaiian Hawk nests are present, which may occur during the breeding season from March to September. The survey should be conducted at least 10 days prior to the start of construction. If an `lo nest is detected, a buffer zone of 100 meters (330 feet) should be established around it where no construction shall occur until the chick or chicks have fledged, or the nest is abandoned, and DOFAW staff should be immediately notified. If adult individuals are detected in the area during construction, all activities within 30 meters (100 feet) of the bird should cease. Work may continue when the bird has left the area on its own. The endemic pueo or Hawaiian Short-Eared Owl (Asio f/ammeus sandwichensis) could potentially nest in the project area. Before any potential vegetative alteration, especially ground-based disturbance, we recommend that line transect surveys are conducted during crepuscular hours through the project area. If a pueo nest is discovered, a minimum buffer distance of 100 meters from the nest should be established until chicks are capable of flight. DOFAW recommends using native plant species for landscaping that are appropriate for the area; i.e., plants for which climate conditions are suitable for them to thrive, plants that historically occurred there, etc. Please do not plant invasive species. DOFAW also recommends referring to www.plantpono.org for guidance on the selection and evaluation of landscaping plants and to determine the potential invasiveness of plants proposed for use in the project. DOFAW recommends minimizing the movement of plant or soil material between worksites. Soil and plant material may contain detrimental fungal pathogens (e.g., Rapid `Ohi`a Death), vertebrate and invertebrate pests (e.g., Little Fire Ants, Coqui Frogs, etc.), or invasive plant parts (e.g., African Tulip, Octopus Tree, Trumpet Tree, etc.) that could harm our native species and ecosystems. We recommend consulting the Big Island Invasive Species Committee (BIISC) at (808) 933-3340 to help plan, design, and construct the project, learn of any high-risk invasive species in the area, and ways to mitigate their spread. All equipment, materials, and personnel should be cleaned of excess soil and debris to minimize the risk of spreading invasive species. We recommend that Best Management Practices are employed during and after construction to contain any soils and sediment with the purpose of preventing damage to near-shore waters and marine ecosystems. We appreciate your efforts to work with our office for the conservation of our native species. These comments are general guidelines and should not be considered comprehensive for this site or project. It is the responsibility of the applicant to do their own due diligence to avoid any negative environmental impacts. Should the scope of the project change significantly, or should it become apparent that threatened or endangered species may be impacted, please contact our staff as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Myrna N. Girald Perez, Protected Species Habitat Conservation Planning Coordinator at (808) 265-3276 or myrna.girald-perez(a)hawaii.gov.
