KAPULENA AGRICULTURAL PARK FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The primary access to the Kapulena Lands from Highway 240 is by "Quarry Road ", a paved former cane road maintained by the County. The portion of this road not on County -owned lands is privately owned by Kamehameha Schools (TMK 4 -6 -5:001 and 4 -6- 4:007). The County recently obtained an easement from Kamehameha Schools to establish legal rights to use this road through Kamehameha School's property. The portion of the easement that is not a subdivided roadway lot is defined by metes and bounds. This cane road connects to Mud Lane, an unimproved government road. The County obtained easements from Kamehameha Schools and another private owner, Mauka - Makki Corp., to enable access to Mud Lane. Two unpaved mauka -makai roads (former cane haul roads) connecting Honoka`a- Waipi`o Road to the quarry road also provide access through the site. The lands are fallow, formerly cultivated in sugar cane, and are now vegetated primarily by common ironwood trees and Guinea grass. A County rock quarry is located on TMK 4 -7- 006:005. 1 -3
