both temporary and permanent erosion control measures. Existing drainage <br /> patterns will not be adversely affected. <br /> ❑ Construction activities will comply with the Hawaii County Grading <br /> Ordinance including the preparation of an erosion control plan and <br /> implementation of BMPs required for the NPDES permit; <br /> o Existing areas of open water free of visible structures because: <br /> ❑ The proposed Project will occur on land. <br /> o Existing and potential fisheries and fishing grounds because: <br /> ❑ Water quality will be protected as described above. <br /> o Wildlife habitats because: <br /> ❑ No rare,threatened, or endangered plant,mammalian, or avian species, or their <br /> critical habitats are present on the Site. To minimize the potential impact that <br /> artificial lighting may have on seabirds, all lighting will be fully shielded, and <br /> construction will be limited to daytime hours. <br /> o Potential or existing agricultural uses of land because: <br /> ❑ The proposed Project involves farming of the Site. <br /> Based on the foregoing, it is concluded that the proposed improvements are <br /> consistent with the objectives,policies and guidelines of the Special Management <br /> Area Rules and Regulations. Specifically: <br /> A. The proposed project will not have any substantial, adverse environmental <br /> or ecological effect. Any effect that may result will be minimized to the <br /> extent practicable and is clearly outweighed by public health, safety and <br /> welfare, and other compelling public interest. <br /> Further, it will not generate any adverse effects by themselves or in <br /> conjunction with other individual developments,the potential cumulative <br /> impacts of which would result in a substantial adverse environmental or <br /> ecological effect and the elimination of planning options. Appropriate <br /> mitigative measures will be taken to address any potential adverse impacts <br /> of this project; <br /> B. The proposed activities - as discussed earlier- are consistent with the <br /> objectives,policies, and guidelines of the SMA Rules and Regulations; <br /> and <br /> C.
