The FHWA identified this historic property in previous correspondence,but no assessment of <br /> how the undertaking will,or will not,impact the Historic District has been provided. <br /> The FHWA determined the proposed undertaking will result in an adverse effect. The SHPD opines the proposed <br /> project will have an effect on the Waiaka Bridge, the Mamalahoa Highway Historic District, and could impact an <br /> archaeological site should remnants of the 1865 Waiaka Catholic Church and its cemetery be present. Additional <br /> information is needed as follows to reach concurrence on the effect determination for the undertaking: <br /> 1. Waiaka Bridge is a contributing feature to the Mamalahoa Highway Historic District. The SHPD requests <br /> the FHWA assess the impacts this undertaking will have on the Mamalahoa Highway Historic District and <br /> if determined there will be an adverse effect on the District, the Memorandum of Agreement shall include <br /> sufficient mitigation for the impacts to this historic property. <br /> 2. The SHPD maintains its request for a letter from the County of Hawaii Cultural Resource Commission <br /> summarizing their recommendations and comments following the site visit with the HDOT project team. <br /> 3. The SHPD maintains its request for Construction Plans. Please provide a set that includes the boundary of <br /> the SIHP number 50-10-06-22632 marked off with a boundary of 15 feet around the site boundaries and <br /> instructions to avoid the area. <br /> 4. SHPD previously requested excavation of archaeological test units to verify the presence or absence of <br /> subsurface archaeological historic properties. The FHWA responded by saying, "Archaeological <br /> monitoring will be proposed as part of the Chapter 6E compliance for the proposed project". The SHPO <br /> notes, these are separate regulatory processes, and should archaeological monitoring be warranted for this <br /> undertaking, to comply with the Section 106 process, the commitment will need to be made under Section <br /> 106. <br /> Please submit all forthcoming information and correspondence related to the subject project to SHPD via HICRIS <br /> under Project No. 2021PR00849 using the Project Supplement option. <br /> The HDOT and the FHWA are the offices of record for this undertaking.
