The scope of work for the archaeological study shall be determined by the DLNR-HPD. Should significant historical sites be found within the subject property which merit preservation or the implementation ofmitigative measures, the applicants shall prepare and submit an archaeological preservation mitigation plan for review and approval by DLNR-SHPD prior to the issuance of Final Subdivision Approval or any land alteration activity, whichever occurs first. With this cover I am forwarding a copy of a letter I received from Don Hibbard, Administrator of DLNR- HPD. He has determined in part that: Because of the previous study and recent site inspection, we helieve there are no significant historic sites in the subject parcels. Therefore, additional archaeological work is not necessary prior to subdivision review or land altering activity. We feel any development in the subject parcels will have "no effect" on significant historic sites. Given this letter, I am requesting confirmation from you that we have complied with the requirements of condition "H" of Ordinance No. 96 101. Should you or your staff have any questions, or need additional information, please contact me directly. Thank you for your prompt review of this request. Since ly, Grego .

Box 1101 Kamuela, Hawaii 96743 LOG NO: 24244 DOC NO: 9910M502 Dear Mr. Mooers: SUBJECT: Historic Preservation Concerns for Two Parcels in the Kaloko Mauka Subdivision Kaloko, North Kona, Hawaii Island TMK: (3)7-3-26: 12 and 19 A site inspection was made to these parcels by Historic Preservation Division staff archaeologist Marc Smith on September 30, 1999. A previous study of the area (Gordy et. al. 1991), suggested that remains of agricultural field systems in the Kaloko area would be unlikely above the 3500 foot elevation. Both of the subject parcels are approximately 3400 foot elevation, placing them at the margin of the agricultural zone. Parcel 19 has been extensively grubbed, and replanted in a tree nursery. A transect was walked across the top of parcel 12. No historic structures were observed in parcel 12. Because of the previous study and recent site inspection, we believe there are no significant historic sites in the subject parcels. Therefore, additional archaeological work is not necessary prior to a subdivision review or land altering activity. We feel that any development in the subject parcels will have "no effect" on significant historic sites. If you have further questions please call Pat McCoy at 692-8029 (Honolulu), or Marc Smith at 933-0482 (Hilo).
