HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 1141.003 2006-2008Communication 1141: Petition in Support of a Revised Grading and Grubbing Ordinance to Address Minimizing Damage to the Native Forest and Its Remnants 19 May 2008 Members of the County Council, This is the second submission of the petition to the council. The first submission, entitled "Grading and Grubbing Revision: A Request from the People of the Big Island", dated 29 Jan 2008, included 23 pages of petition signatures and recommendations for implementation of forest protection within the ordinance. This submission conveys an additional 10 petition pages, to bring the total signatures to approximately 650. This submission also includes information about the services provided by the native forest that relate directly to the function of the grading and grubbing ordinance. There is clear evidence (as presented in the following pages) that the Hawaiian native forest provides services essential to the people of the island, to include water collection, erosion and sedimentation control, and flood mitigation. As our population increases, our demands on the forest grow, yet the manner of our growth involves the removal of the forest. The dilemma that presents itself is how to expand our communities while preserving a healthy forest. While there may be no solution that pleases everyone, and possibly no solution that entirely pleases anyone, we expect the solution that is adopted into law to be well-researched and to be formulated with a global long-range perspective -that is, to consider what is best for most people and what is best for the next generation. The benefits provided by the native forest are beyond dispute, and our own state history provides the proof that without proper care of the forest, the islands will not sustain a growing population. In Oahu, in the early 1900's, after sugar and cattle had taken their toll on the forest and the island's water supply was in crisis, a massive reforestation effort ensued, spanning decades, comprising nearly 800,000 acres of land, and requiring nearly two million trees planted annually. The planters initially used the native trees like ohia and koa, but these trees grew too slowly to reverse the erosion and water loss that plagued Oahu, so the foresters soon moved to faster-growing species like eucalyptus, ironwood, and silver oak. While these introduced trees prevented catastrophic destruction, they have produced sparse forests with fewer species and fall short of the native forest's complex, multi-layered systems that make it the ideal vegetation for our islands' needs.' z Approximately 50% of the Big Island's remaining forest is under private ownership. Do we want to gamble that we can do without that portion of the forest, or do we want to take steps to preserve it? This is not a decision that we can put off, because the clearing of the native forest continues on a daily basis ~ and there is only so much to lose. In our initial submission we offered a forested buffer solution that wa • not our ideal, but a compromise to landowner rights and ease of implementation. We are willing to work,` a~ together to find a better solution, but the draft revision of the grading and grubbing ordinance as it stand `~' does not adequately address our concerns. There is a vast amount of expertise available, from the Board of Water Supply to the Department of Land and Natural Resources to the conservation agencies, including some experts among our own local residents -all with experience and different points of view S ,~ ~ F. to offer. Let's work together for a solution. ~ ~ ~ Submitted by: Jillian Marohnic, Diane Ware, Kathleen Golden 1 "Water for Life, The History and Future of Water on Oahu", Honolulu Board of Water Supply 2 "Last Stand, The Vanishing Hawaiian Rainforest", Hawaii Nature Conservancy /State Dept. of Land and Natural Resources Native Forest Preservation in Current 1-18-08 Draft Grading & Grubbing Ordinance Revision (Chapter 10 Erosion And Sedimentation Control) The word "forest" does not appear, "native" does not appear. There are two references to "vegetation": "Whenever feasible, natural vegetation, especially grasses, should be retained." Hawaii County Code, Chapter 10 (draft), Section 10-3(c) Minimum BMPs "Whenever feasible, natural vegetation should be retained by ,,y-~~ becoming part of the ` ,,.~ , plan during construction or part of the permanent landscaping plan if applicable." Hawaii County Code, Chapter 10 (draft), Section 10-31 Vegetation "fires threaten Hawaii's native plant and animal communities. Non-native grass species such as beardgrass, broomsedge, buffet grass fountain grass, and molasses grass have invaded native plant communities and provide extremely combustible fuel for fires in the dry season. The light fuel of non-native grasses combined with wind can carry fires into areas that would otherwise be unharmed. Non-native grasses rapidly take root and establish on land historically home to endemic, native plant communities thereby adding fuel to future wildfires." Newsletter of the Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Hawaii State Department of Land & Natural Resources, Vol 1 No 1 Summer 2005 "During the 2007 fiscal year the Division was involved in 23 wildfires statewide, consuming 2Q445 acres. Suppression costs are estimated at $900,000."

Contemplate the cost of replicating just one or these essential services through feats of technology or engineering and you begin to appreciate the contribution our forests make to our economy and quality of life." Hawaii Nature Conservancy ~ State Department of land and Natural Resources -last Stand brochure WATER AND THE FOREST Rain a 1 ways fo 11 ows the fores t -Hawaiian proverb The forest brings the rain The forested mountains force warm ocean air upwards, cooling and condensing it to form rain. Rainfall in the surrounding ocean is only 25 inches per year. Water collection is an essential function of the forest The forest captures water in the form of mist, fog, and rain --absorbing and releasing it into streams and underground aquifers. The Hawaiian forest is highly efficient at capturing water Millions of years of evolution have made the Hawaiian forest perfectly suited to our island. Its ability to pull moisture from passing clouds elevates water capture by as much as 30% above total rainfall. The Hawaiian forest is a conserver of water The tall closed canopy reduces water loss to evaporation. Dense vegetation blocks wind from pulling moisture from the land. The many layers store water and slowly release. When we destroy our forests, we risk our water supply On an island, fresh water is not unlimited. Its availability is linked to the health and coverage of our forests. Hawaii Nature Conservancy /State Department of land and Natural Resources -Last Stand brochure Haha i no ka ua i ka u 7u 7a 'au EROSION AND THE FOREST Kaho'olawe Rain falling on bare earth causes erosion When forest is removed, water-retaining upper layers of soil are washed away, leaving the less permeable clays. Water runs off the clay instead of filtering down to the aquifer. Removing forest removes defense against drought and flood The forest is a living sponge, reducing immediate water flow in wetter times, maintaining it in dry. Streams that emanate from deforested mountains flood during rains and run dry when the rains stop. Health of our reefs and beaches is tied the forest Without a forest to anchor the soil, sediment washes off our steep mountains and into the ocean -polluting streams, destroying coral reefs, degrading coastal fishing. The Hawaiian forest provides these services for free: - Capture and filtering of rainwater that replenishes our island aquifers - Flood mitigation - Erosion control -Sedimentation control Without the forest, we will pay for these services.
