Dear Councilman Chung:
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park wishes to voice its support of "A Resohrtion
Relating to the Preparation of (1) A North Dona Regional Sewerage Master Plan; and (2) A
council Llitiated Improvement District Implememation Study for the Construction of Certain
Wastewater and Recycled Wafer System Improvements for Kealakehe, Honokohau, Kaloko,
and Kohanaiki, District ofNorth Kona, Hawai'T' (Resolution 129-03 from deferred Resolution
70-OI). The National Park Service.believes that the development of a North Kona Wastewater
Improvement District is essential to maintaining Class AA waters along the Kona coast as well
as protecting anchialine pools, fishponds, and neazshore waters from wastewater pollution. As
you may know Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park installed a temporary sewer line
from its new visitor contact station to the wastewater treatment~plant. However we view this
arrangement as a temporary fix until a permanent line can be installed. We do want the Council
to know that the pazk is willing to pay its fair share costs for this Improvement District.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this proposed resolution. We look forward to
working with Hawaii County on this important project for the protection ofKona's unique
environment.
tom.
