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 entire Wai'ele properties exist within Hawaii County's Special Management Area, thus <br /> requiring "all uses, activities or operations" to be assessed. HER has accordingly applied for a <br /> Special Management Area Use Permit. HER expects that a permit will be required for its activity of <br /> using herbicide for invasive plant control, none of which will take place until the permit is issued. <br /> A narrow strip of coastal Wai'ele is in the State Consevation District Resource Subzone. None of <br /> the proposed uses of that area are mentioned in HAR§13-5-24, thus a permit is not required for <br /> these uses. <br /> As far as NEPA law, because conservation/preservation activities will be conducted using funds <br /> that flow from the County, it is possible that a permit, approval, or exemption is required. Since all <br /> PONC stewardship proposals share this concern, HER looks forward to PONC and Corporate <br /> Counsel guidance on this matter. <br /> FINAL 2025 Stewardship Grant Application,Page 8 of 13 <br />
