Dear Agency /Organization Official:
Subject: Early Consultation for Environmental Assessment for Mauna Kea Recreation
Area Improvements by Hawaili County Department of Parks and Recreation,
TMK (3) 4 -4- 016:003 (por.)
I am in the process of preparing a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for a proposed County of
Hawaii activity, in compliance with Chapter 343, HRS, and Title 11, Chapter 200, HAR.
The Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation (P &R) proposes a project to improve the water
system, recreational cabins, access and other features of the Mauna Kea Recreation Area (MKRA) on the
Island of Hawaii (see attached map and aerial image).
An EA is necessary because County funds and State lands are involved. The areas of investigation in the
EA will include but not be limited to the following: water quality assurance; wastewater treatment; flora,
fauna, and ecosystems; traffic impacts; geology, soils, and hazards; flooding and drainage impacts; social,
cultural and community impacts; historic sites; and economic impacts.
I would appreciate your comments on any special environmental conditions or impacts related to the
development of the Park. Please contact me at (808) 969 -7090 (Big Island), or rterry @hawaii.rr.com , if
you have any questions or require clarification. Kindly indicate whether you wish to receive a copy of the
EA /notification of EA availability when it is completed.
Sincerely,
0 t.Z-
