POINT OF CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER Hawaii County Department of Craig Lekven Environmental Management Brown and Caldwell 808.442.3301 scope, This project was not performed by Oceanit but managed and completed by Berna Senelly who is currently an Oceanit employee. The Hawaii County Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is proposing improvements to the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that will allow for reuse of wastewater treated in accordance with the State of Hawaii, Department of Health (DOH) Reuse Guidelines R-1 classification, as well as disposal of treated effluent not treated for R-1 classification. A community outreach program was conducted to introduce people to the proposed project and provide information to help the community understand County objectives and the proposed means by which these objectives can be met. These outreach efforts were intended to raise awareness and engage the community in constructive dialogue throughout the planning and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) stages so that the project team can proactively address community concerns as the project proceeds. A key component of the outreach program is to incorporate early and ongoing guidance from a cross-section of key community leaders. The first stage of the outreach program was designed to lay the foundation for future community conversations and in-depth interviews were conducted with a wide cross-section of community/ The second stage of the outreach program was designed to expand on the in-depth interviews with focus groups of like-minded people who share common interests. This approach was designed to help participants fully explore topics from similar perspectives. Four focus groups were conducted including environment, business and landowners, recreation and public agencies.
