There actually seems to be a developed pattern. A dozen years <br />goes by and we still don't know what is in the HCP. In 2010 a <br />Game Management Plan was completed in cooperation with <br />DLNR biologists and others which 5 years later is still sitting on a <br />shelf somewhere. In 2008 Rules and Regulations were out for <br />public hearings and as of June 2015 just got issued. <br />Can you explain why all things related to hunting seem to be put <br />on a back burner with DLNR while anything related to protection <br />and preservation are given the fast track with no boundaries? <br />6) There is a disconnect between DLNR and many of their <br />constituents. Time after time DLNR is provided information, <br />recommendation, and requests from the public at various <br />meetings often after decisions regarding the reason for the <br />meetings have already been made. <br />In many instances such as NARS (Puu Makaala for example), there <br />there is no Environmental Impact Statement developed. Typically, <br />Environmental Assessments are utilized and despite hundreds of <br />letters, signatures and petitions to the contrary, a Finding Of No <br />Significant Impact is adopted. People are impacted! <br />That DLNR, NARS, or those engaged in watershed "protection", <br />don't take seriously or maybe just outright ignore those appeals, <br />doesn't change the fact that every acre that is fenced reduces the <br />amount of game and habitat once enjoyed and utilized by the <br />people of Hawaii. <br />
