BC supported SSFM International in developingthe Hoaloha Park Adaptation Plan.The plan included a site and infrastructure vulnerability assessment, user impact evaluation, and adaptation planning specific to Hoaloha Park, an urban beach park located at Kahului Harbor, Maui.The plan employed an adaptive pathways approach driven by site-specific and infrastructure-specific vulnerabilities, considering park users. BC's scope involved preparing technical memorandums to document opportunities and constraints for future use by assessing existing site conditions and infrastructure against future climate-related hazards such as sea-level rise, hurricanes, and wildfires.Additionally,the plan analyzed the effects of increased future use of the park by residents and nearby employees due to planned redevelopment projects in the vicinity.The team recommended adaptation strategies, including improving sand dunes and relocating infrastructure likely to be affected by sea level rise.

(1)TITLE AND LOCATION(City and State) (2)YEAR COMPLETED Koolaupoko Climate Resilience and Adaptation Project, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSTRUCTION(ifapplicable) Kaneohe, Hawaii Ongoing N/A (3)BRIEF DESCRIPTION(Brief scope,size,cost,etc.)AND SPECIFIC ROLE❑x Check if project performed with current firm Planning and Stakeholder Engagement. BC is providing engineering services to support the University of Hawaii to conduct a Military Installation Resilience Review focused on the Koolaupoko district, located on Oahu's southeastern shore.The project overall objective is to identify climate related threats and hazards to the community surrounding Kaneohe military base and to present recommendations that enhance resilience and adaption capacity of vulnerable resources within the project study area. Hawaii's unique geographic location makes the islands particularly susceptible to a myriad of climate change impacts. Sea level rise and attendant local erosion and flooding, extreme heat, altered precipitation patterns, and growing wildfire are evident and will become more prevalent in the future, placing an undue burden on coastal communities and resources across the State. In order to avoid widespread environmental catastrophe, development needs to prioritize sustainability and increasing climate resilience.The study will culminate with the three regional implementation strategies identified, mapped, which will be considered "pilot projects." Each pilot project will recommend mitigation measures to better inform efforts and benefit surrounding communities.

BC is developing a geographic information system (GIS)and hydraulic model for the County of Kauai, Dept.of Water(KDOW)as part of the Water Systems Investment Plan (WSIP) project.The WSIP is a comprehensive master plan, identifying infrastructure and facility improvements in alignment with KDOW's long- range goals and objectives. BC is working with KDOW to develop a capital improvement program to address system improvements needed for water supply infrastructure and enterprise systems and prioritize projects to meet level of service objectives. Included in the project is a financial analysis including utility rates, development charges, and funding opportunities through local,State and Federal programs.A climate change impact assessment for sea level rise and storm surge is being conducted along with a desktop condition and resiliency assessment.Stakeholder engagement is planned throughout the project, including a Ka Pa'akai analyses to collect information on traditional and customary practices within the study area.
