RC-W2 <br /> EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> At the request of Ron Terry,Ph.D.,of Geometrician Associates,LLC,on behalf of his client the County of <br /> Hawaii, Rechtman Consulting, LLC conducted an archaeological and cultural assessment survey of a <br /> nearly 2 acre property JMK: 3-4-8-04:006) in Lalakea Ahupua`a,Hamakua,Hawaii. The entire project <br /> area was surveyed on-foot and the boundaries were clearly identifiable. A residential structure exists on the <br /> parcel that was moved there from Kukuihaele in the late 1970s or early 1980s.No historic properties were <br /> identified as a result of the fieldwork.Also,systematic survey of the project area produced no evidence that <br /> the area had been or was currently being accessed for the exercise of traditional and customary practices. <br /> Likewise,consultation produced no information relative to the existence of traditional cultural properties or <br /> any information indicating current use of the area for traditional and customary practices. <br /> Given the negative findings of the current study, it is concluded that the transfer of ownership of the <br /> property to the County of Hawaii and its potential subsequent development will not impact any known <br /> historic properties nor infringe upon any traditional and customary practices. It is therefore recommended <br /> that no further historic preservation work is needed. <br /> ii <br />
