A. REQUEST:
To authorize the Mayor to enter into an intergovermental agreement with the Department of the Army for a
cost sharing agreement for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aquatic ecosystem restoration study at Kahalu'u
Bay.
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
Section 206 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996, authorizes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) to intitiate investigations and implement projects for aquatic ecosystem restoration with the
objective of restoring degraded ecosystem structure, function and dynamic processes to a less degraded,
more natural condition with consideration of the ecosystem's natural integrity, productivity, stability, and
biological diversity. Section 105(a)of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 specifies cost-sharing
requirements. The County of Hawaii desires to enter into a 50 percent cost sharing agreement with the
Department of the Army for U.S.Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a study that will identify and evaluate
alternatives and recommend a solution for aquatic ecosystem restoration of Kahalu'u Bay..
