25 01 <br /> F. PERMITS/APPROVALS (See Instructions for examples of permits/approvals. Remember <br /> that it is the applicant's responsibility to comply with and secure all necessary approvals and <br /> permits from federal, state, and county agencies as required.) <br /> Do any of the proposed stewardship activities require any federal, state, or county permits <br /> or approvals? <br /> If yes, explain why. If not needed, explain why. <br /> The 642-acre Mahukona Navigation and Ecological Complex is in the moku of Kohala and <br /> encompasses the coastal portions of six ahupua'a: Kapa'a Nui, Kou, Kamano, Mahukona, Hihiu, <br /> and Kaoma. HILT has fee ownership of TMK 357002027, 357002036, 357002037, 357003001, <br /> 357003002, 357003003, 357003007, 357003008, and 357003018. Project activities will take place <br /> as shown in Appendix B Map of Project Locations. <br /> HILT's goals at Mahukona include enhancing native ecosystems and protecting important cultural <br /> sites. HILT will not disturb wildlife, habitat, or damage cultural sites as part of this project. There are <br /> no critical habitat designations on the site, although it could be future habitat for the Newell <br /> Shearwater, Hawaiian Hoary Bat, and other threatened and endangered species. <br /> HILT staff and others who work on the land will follow the procedures in the forthcoming <br /> management plan, which will include descriptions of resource protection and restoration best <br /> practices. Volunteers and students who perform hands-on stewardship activities (primarily invasive <br /> plant removal and native plant planting) do so under the supervision of a trained, knowledgeable <br /> HILT staff. <br /> Previous owners completed an archeological survey and cultural impact assessment survey in the <br /> 1990s, including an archeological survey by Surety Kohala. There are numerous known historic <br /> sites that may be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The HILT <br /> management plan will specify management practices designed to protect them from damage. HILT <br /> has not had any need to correspond with the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD). <br /> While it is likely that burials exist at Mahukona, as they have not been disturbed and HILT does not <br /> propose activities that would disturb them, the requirement for a burial plan is not triggered. <br /> FINAL 2025 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 8 of 13 <br />
