State of Hawaii =y,r-, Department of Land and Natural Resources 4 Commission on Water Resource Management N D w P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, Hi 96809 REQUEST FOR COUNTY CONSULTATION ON THE KALOKO-HONOKOHAU NATIONAL PARK SERVICE PETITION TO DESIGNATE KEAUHOU AQUIFER SYSTEM AREA AS A GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA The Water Board of the County of Hawai`i("Board") is in the process of developing a comprehensive commentary on the Petition to Designate the Keauhou Aquifer System ("North Kona") as a Groundwater Water Management Area,which was filed on September 13, 2013, by the Kaloko-Honokohau National Park Service ("Petitioner"). However, at this stage,the Board wanted to inform you that it is extremely disappointed in the Petitioner's initiation of the Petition. Their aggressive action and relentless and patronizing politicking have angered the Board and many in our community. Since the petition was filed,the Board has heard presentations and received testimony(written and/or oral)from the Petitioner, Commission on Water Resource Management("CWRM") staff, and numerous other stakeholders, as well as the Department of Water Supply's("DWS") staff. Since 2008, DWS has also been closely involved in participating and facilitating the Kona Water Round Table("KWRT")meetings to address the water concerns in the region and specifically within the Keauhou Aquifer system. At these KWRT meetings, presentations were made by the Petitioner as well as technical professionals in the area of groundwater hydrology, anchialine ponds or pools, groundwater quality management, and other practitioners. At each of these meetings', numerous people attended, including members of the Board, the CWRM, United States Geological Survey("USGS") staff, the Petitioner, as well as many stakeholders of North Kona. The Board finds it alarming in the Petitioner's proclamation that if a water management area is not designated, "new wells will be sited near sensitive habitat for culturally important and rare native species, thereby imperiling traditional and customary Native Hawaii rights and practices." This is grossly overreaching, and is an attack on the integrity of the stakeholders, public policies, and public agencies at the State and County levels that are charged to protect all resources. The Board heard testimony from various landowners, some of whom are adjacent to the Petitioner's property, about the implementation of various management practices that have protected and allowed various habitats, native plants, animals, and biota to thrive within the proposed management area. It is ironic that the Petitioner ' KWRT Agendas [05-14-08, 7-23-14, 11-3-08, 7-22-09,9-23-10, 3-29-12,7-11,12, 1-17-13, 5-21,14] are attached for your reference. C_e n m. No. -747'. I• ZS . . .Water, Our fiviost Precious Resource . . . Ka Wai A Kane . . . Ref. To: The Department of Water Supply is an Equal Opportunity provider and employer. Ref. Date JUN 2 0 2014 Mr. William J. Aila, Jr., Chairperson Page 2 June 18, 2014 has cited the protection of cultural resources as one of the primary motives for the designation of a management area; however, at a community presentation, the Petitioner admitted to suspending various traditional and custom 4t' Native Hawaiian rights and practices at the Kaloko-Honokohau National Park with no foreseeable date for restoring them. As of this writing,the Board has not seen any baseline information, evidence, or studies that support the Petitioner's claims of endangerment as outlined within their Petition, nor the necessity to suspend customary Native Hawaiian rights. The Board also takes exception to the Petitioner's nonchalant assertion that the water management designation would simply mean another permit. The Board heard overwhelming testimony from CWRM showing that is simply not the case. Members of the community, specifically the Kona Community Development Plan Action Committee, heard numerous members of the community speak in strong opposition to the designation and to the submission of critical concerns that the management designation would delay, halt, and increase the costs for much-needed community projects. Among the community projects at risk are the West Hawaii Community College, West Hawaii judiciary complex, the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawai`i Authority(NELHA),Kona International Airport, and affordable housing projects planned for the area. As mentioned above,the Board plans to submit comprehensive commentary on the Petition. However,this process has stirred passionate discussion, divided our community, and the Board feels it important to frame and reflect the community sentiments and the extensive efforts from all stakeholders on the enormous value placed on the management and protection of groundwater and the sustainability of our resources. Based on the information received,the Board recognizes and believes that a strong and valid effort is in place to protect the groundwater sustainability,which includes discharge into the near-shore waters, and that the scientific investigation and research that we have reviewed thus far do not justify designation. We are hopeful the CWRM will do the right thing and deny the petition to designate the Keauhou Aquifer System as a managed area.
