Assessment (CIA), a Coastal Erosion Study, and a Biological Survey, to investigate the full breadth of the project area's valued resources. The applicants will also be required to obtain a Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP) which is approved by the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR). In conformance with review criteria the project was submitted to the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) for a HRS, Ch. 6E-42 review; to date SHPD has not completed their review, however, based on the AIS the proposed project will have no impact on historic properties. The valuable cultural, historical, and natural resources found in the area: The Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS), conducted in support of the proposed project, identified two (2) sites, including a previously identified rock wall (SIHP Site 50-10-45- 18419) parallel to Government Beach Road, and a property boundary rock wall (SIHP Site 50-10-45-31185) along the northwest boundary of Lot A. Both sites hare historic to modern era agriculture and ranching structures and are significant under Criterion D. No other valuable cultural resources and practices such as shoreline access, fishing, gathering, hunting, or access to ceremonial sites were discovered on each of the subject parcels. The cultural impact assessment (CIA) found the identified traditional and customary practices located in the larger Maku`u region, as expressed by the consulted parties, consisted of fishing, collecting `opihi, and collecting Hala leaves. Based on the findings of the AIS and CIA, no archaeological, historical, or cultural resources will be significantly impacted by the proposed action. The rock walls identified on the properties are in moderate and good condition and will not be altered by the proposed project. No floral or faunal species listed as threatened, endangered, or proposed for listing under the federal or state endangered species statutes were identified on the site. Additionally, no species used for cultural gathering purposes were identified within the project area. Possible adverse effects or impairment of valued resources: No floral or faunal species listed as threatened, endangered, or proposed for listing under the federal or state endangered species statutes are anticipated to be on the site. Additionally, no species used for cultural gathering purposes were identified within the project area. The residential nature of the surrounding areas would make it less likely to find other protected or 8
