Included here: initial outreach/meetings/consultation with key community groups and individuals and with key County, State and Federal agencies. PHASE 2: IN-DEPTH PLANNING: DOCUMENT AND ANALYZE CRITICAL KUMUKAHI RESOURCES AND IMPACT ISSUES: NATURAL, CULTURAL, COMMUNITY, INFRASTRUCTURE, REGULATORY. Include a preliminary inventory and analysis of possible State level and Federal level designations that may be appropriate/feasible for the preservation and management of KUMUKAHI lands and KUMUKAHI cultural and natural resources. Design and begin to implement an intensive community consultation process. (If adequate funding is available, the consultant team would include sub consultants with expertise in the areas of Archaeology, Cultural Impacts, Ecology and Civil Engineering.) PHASE 3: DRAFT PLAN FOR KUMUKAHI —The planning team will develop several ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS for the protection and preservation of KUMUKAHI LANDS AND RESOURCES, and will present and refine these concepts through a series of community meetings and discussions with key County, State and Federal agencies. This phase of the planning work will culminate in the development of a KUMUKAHI DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN that will be made available to community members and to interested public agencies for review and comment. PHASE 4: The consultant team will develop a Draft ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ("DEA') in accordance with State of Hawaii environmental laws and guidelines. The DRAFT EA will be published in the State's "Environmental Bulletin." The Draft EA will include a DRAFT CULTURAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT. After the end of the public comment period on the Draft EA, Townscape planners and project subconsultants will put together and publish the FINAL EA for the KUMUKAHI DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN. PHASE 5: Based on the results of the EA process and the planning work completed to date, Townscape planners and the other members of the consultant Team will put together the pre-final KUMUKAHI PRESERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN, and make this prefinal plan available for public review and comment. This phase of the planning work will include discussions with appropriate County, State and Federal agencies regarding special designations for Kumukahi lands and resources. PHASE 6: The project team will finalize the KUMUKAHI PRESERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN. Quotes were provided for a low budget concept plan, and a well researched preservation and management plan. The quotes and request were submitted to the County Planning Department managing the Geothermal funds with a request for support. This request was denied based upon the multiple land owners and the projected inability to develop and manage and area with so many property owners. 7
