Most residents <br /> consider the beach areas over capacity now. Honu and honu'ea are increasingly impacted with <br /> hazards, harassment and polluted water. This development could double the impacts and <br /> diminish the bay's beauty and sense of place. <br /> There is a need for an updated SEIS with public review under the OEQC process. The <br /> last final EIS was completed in 1988 and much of the amended reviews offered by the developer <br /> are based on a DEIS 17 years ago which was abandoned before an FEIS was completed. Black <br /> Sands Beach, LLC needs to follow the precedent requiring a SEIS as prescribed by a Supreme <br /> Court ruling 4/8/2010 in the Unite Here v. City and County of Honolulu lawsuit. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Kinohi Neves <br /> kinohi7@hawaii.edu <br /> 3/4/2024 <br />
