1.1 Biological Surveys, Assessments, and Monitoring
While Tetra Tech staff have the ability to synthesize existing technical studies to prepare EAs and EISs, our
multidisciplinary team often conducts the baseline studies and research to support these documents. Our
biologists and ecologists specialize in providing scientifically based and legally defensible natural resource
surveys to support each project from initial planning through construction and operation. Tetra Tech’s
diverse staff have extensive experience developing and conducting a broad range of on-the-ground
biological surveys and assessments and desktop analyses in a wide variety of habitat types to fully
characterize natural resources and environmental conditions. These surveys provide the foundation for
developing cost-effective and environmentally sound approaches for each aspect of a project, including
planning, permitting, mitigation, implementation, and construction/post-construction monitoring. We are
adept at conducting species surveys that utilize various state and federal protocols, and that enable
information to be collected in a systematic manner.
Staff routinely execute fixed radius bird point counts, breeding
bird surveys, vegetation community mapping, invasive plant
inventories, and threatened and endangered plant and wildlife
surveys. With regards to threatened and endangered species,
our staff have wide-ranging experience from deploying
acoustic detectors and analyzing data for the endangered
Hawaiian hoary bat, to conducting avian surveys for the
endangered Hawaiian hawk and Hawaiian petrel, and
monitoring reproduction of various listed plant species. Tetra

Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 5
and procedural requirements of NEPA, HEPA, and associated permitting authorities and to clearly and
objectively provide project information to stakeholders and the public.
Tetra Tech’s EA/EIS experience includes several
visible or politically sensitive projects in the Pacific
region. Tetra Tech prepared the NEPA EIS and HEPA
EIS for the Na Pua Makani Wind Project on Oahu’s
north shore. The separate NEPA and HEPA EISs
address potential impacts to various resources,
including eight federal or state listed species. To
support the NEPA/HEPA processes, eleven technical
studies were prepared which incorporated several
significant project design changes, and the Tetra
Tech team facilitated and/or participated in 10 public
meetings and Board approval hearings as well as
numerous additional community association and
agency meetings. Tetra Tech also assisted the USFWS
in drafting portions of the NEPA documentation for
the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National
Monument Management Plan. This project included
preparing detailed scoping reports summarizing the
comments received during three scoping periods and
developing a series of issue statements based on the
input received during the scoping. Tetra Tech also
completed a HEPA EA for the Hawaiki Submarine Cable System, an approximately 9,313-mile-long
submarine fiber optic telecommunications cable consisting of a trunk route extending from Oregon to
Australia, with a branch connecting to Kapolei, Hawaii. In support of this document and other state and
federal permitting requirements, Tetra Tech conducted biological and other resource studies such as a
marine habitat characterization in the nearshore environment and a terrestrial flora and fauna survey.
Additional Hawaii project experience related to EAs and EISs are listed in Table 1 below.
1.3 Federal, State, and County Environmental Permitting Support
Tetra Tech has a nearly 20-year track record for leading federal, state,

project inception through construction and operation.
Tetra Tech is currently leading the permitting process for various
project types in Hawaii, including solar, wind, energy storage, electric
power, and fiber optic cable. Our permitting experience ranges from
Nationwide Permit authorization from the Honolulu District, U.S. Army
Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 6
Engineers (USACE) to Conservation District Use Permits from DLNR and CWA Section 401 Water Quality
Certifications from the Hawaii DOH.
1.4 Habitat Conservation Plans for Incidental Take License and
Incidental Take Permit
Tetra Tech has developed several multi-
species HCPs and HCP amendments and
managed the overall state and federal
incidental take permitting process (ITL/ITP)
for threatened and endangered species.
These complex documents require complex
analysis in identifying minimization measures,
estimating potential impacts, and developing
appropriate mitigation for each Covered
Species. Tetra Tech also manages the HCP
compliance for several wind farm facilities on
Oahu and Maui to ensure the permittee meets
the conditions of the state and federal
ITL/ITP.
1.5 Invasive Species Services
The Hawaiian Islands are particularly susceptible to invasive species for a variety of reasons, including high
habitat diversity, favorable climate, high resource availability, and small native populations. Our biologists
and ecologists are experienced in invasive species surveys, prevention, and control and management. We
understand that identifying appropriate strategies to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive
species is the least expensive and most effective solution. Early detection of newly introduced invasive
species, along with rapid response, is crucial to successful and cost-effective eradication or containment.
Because our staff are knowledgeable with local flora and fauna, we are able to identify invasive species
early and create a plan for landowners and managers to take appropriate action.
Tetra Tech has first-hand experience developing and implementing predator control programs that target
introduced rats, cats, mongoose, and pigs using a variety of traps. For example, at the Auwahi Wind Farm
on Maui, Tetra Tech developed and set-up the predator control program for a Hawaiian petrel colony on
Haleakala as part of the HCP mitigation program. At the Kawailoa Wind Farm on the north shore of Oahu,
our biologists conduct year-round predator control as part of our post-construction mortality monitoring
program. In addition to our on-the-ground experience, we have drafted several NEPA documents that
assess the potential effects of non-native species or predator control in proposed mitigation areas.
1.6 Ecosystem Restoration Services
In partnership with our clients, Tetra Tech brings together experts in science, engineering, and permitting
to ensure that the biological and physical components of restoration projects are addressed to achieve all

We adhere to the latest American Society of
Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards and the
“All Appropriate Inquiry” U.S. EPA rule to satisfy
the requirements for the innocent landowner,
contiguous property owner, or bona fide
prospective purchaser limitations on the
Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). We
also work with the client to create document
templates that meet the client’s needs for
legibility, accuracy, and comparability, all in
order to increase the efficiency and success of
decision making. Phase I and II ESAs are
typically conducted during large-scale real estate transfers, requiring quick turnaround and reliable
conclusions. In all, Tetra Tech has completed thousands of Phase I and Phase II assessments, including soil
and groundwater sampling investigations for lending institutions, law firms, insurance companies, real
estate developers, construction firms, and other clients. Our experience goes beyond performing simple
and quick property assessments, and includes complex site characterization, as well as remediation.
Where required as part of the due diligence process, Tetra Tech also has extensive experience performing
hazardous materials surveys for lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos containing materials (ACM).

One of our hallmark environmental site investigations was
performed for DR Horton and University of Hawaii in advance of
the redevelopment of agricultural lands for the Hoopili master
planned community and West Oahu Campus. This investigation,
which was comprised of several phases over 3 years, included
extensive soil sampling across a 2,132-acre site to assess for the
presence of agricultural chemicals. The final outcome was a No
Further Action determination by the Hawaii DOH, such that the
development could proceed.
As an example of our programmatic environmental support
capabilities, Tetra Tech has been providing environmental
support program services to Hickam Communities LLC (HC) at
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii continuously
since 2006 to facilitate the characterization, removal, and long-
term management of pesticide-impacted soils.
During HC’s redevelopment activities, Tetra Tech provided the following services: characterizing residual
pesticides in soil using multi-increment sampling; creating field sampling plans, health and safety plans,
and an RI report; performing a risk assessment; implementing soil management including import and
export material characterization and soil disposal profiling; and construction air monitoring.
Tetra Tech has also been overseeing pesticide-impacted soil management and excavation; long-term soil
management planning and implementation including creating a Land Use Controls Implementation
Document (LUCID); leading technical discussions and providing input to government and regulatory
agencies; and conducting Phase I and Phase II ESAs. Additionally, Tetra Tech has performed LBP and ACM
surveys as part of a long-term renovation and redevelopment project for over 800 community housing
structures at Hickam Air Force Base.
With the extensive redevelopment taking place in the
Honolulu urban core, Tetra Tech has significant experience
supporting developers during site construction activities,
specifically related to characterization and management of
contaminated soil prior to, and during the redevelopment
process. Many of these sites require a C-EHMP and working
closely with the DOH HEER Office to ensure worker safety
and proper assessment, handling and disposal of
contaminated soil under the supervision of a Qualified
Environmental Professional (QEP). Our longstanding
relationship with the DOH HEER Office, under a series of
technical support contracts for nearly 20 years, provides
Tetra Tech with an intimate understanding of State guidance regarding assessment and management of
contaminated sites, especially as related to the unexpected conditions that arise during site
redevelopment. Tetra Tech has the expertise to handle the “unknowns” which arise during large
construction projects, including: removal of underground storage tanks (USTs) and performing associated
Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 10
closure assessments; assessment and remedial actions associated with unexpected/unknown soil
contamination encountered during excavation; management of contaminated dewatering fluids;
assessment of potential subslab vapor concerns; in-situ vertical characterization of subsurface soil to plan
for management prior to, and during construction; and, sampling of large stockpiles for on-site or off-site
re-use, and/or landfill disposal.
In 2023/2024, Tetra Tech supported the DOH Clean Air
Branch (CAB) following the Maui wildfires in development
of community air monitoring and sampling plans for the
impacted areas of Lahaina and Kula. The plans were
developed in consultation with CAB and Maui County.
Monitoring was performed for the duration of cleanup
efforts, with services including air monitoring, sample
collection, and weekly reporting. In addition, Tetra Tech
provided extensive debris monitoring support, post-
debris removal soil sampling, and designed a new landfill
cell for the Maui fire debris.
1.9 Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
Tetra Tech realizes the importance of building resilience to the impacts of climate change, which requires
technical assessments, awareness of potential impacts, and creative solutions. We have been at the
leading edge of climate change analysis; our experts have developed first-generation climate change
models, including the Global Carbon Cycling Model, and supported flagship climate change pilot projects
for several U.S. agencies, multilateral institutions, and national and state governments. Our projects range
from conducting scientific and policy assessments to performing the full suite of greenhouse gas emissions
and climate risk modeling services to develop and implement effective adaptation and mitigation
solutions.
In 2024, Tetra Tech received the Environmental Business
Journal (EBJ) Project Merit Award for our work with the
City of Dayton, Ohio, to address proposed regulations for
per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the City’s
water supply. In addition to the PFAS Project Merit Award,
Tetra Tech received four additional awards for excellent
performance, innovation, and industry leadership in
climate change, environment, and sustainable infrastructure.
1.10 Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment
The impact of sea level rise resulting from climate change presents an imminent threat to the economy,
sustainability, security, and way of life in Hawaii, with the potential to cause loss of roads, utilities, and
structures across the state. In 2014 the Hawaii State Legislature passed the Hawaiʻi Climate Adaptation
Initiative, mandating the first statewide sea level rise vulnerability assessment to provide a basis for
recommendations on reducing exposure and increasing adaptability.
Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 11
The Hawaii DLNR contracted Tetra Tech to prepare the Hawaii Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation
Report, which DLNR submitted to the State Legislature in December 2017. For this report, Tetra Tech
conducted a statewide sea level rise vulnerability assessment that included Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai,
Oahu, Kauai, and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and developed recommendations to reduce exposure
and increase the capacity of the state to adapt to sea level rise. Tetra Tech collaborated with multiple
entities—including the DLNR, Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands, University of Hawaii, state and
county governments, and the Hawaii Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Commission—to produce the
Report.
In addition, Tetra Tech was contracted by the Hawaii Sea
Grant College Program to develop guidance for integrating
sea level rise in county and community plans. Working with
county planners, the guidance will help counties together
with their communities and partners address sea level rise
through their existing planning processes. Case studies were
used to improve understanding of opportunities and
challenges to increase resilience to coastal hazards and sea
level rise through planning and post-disaster reconstruction.
In Spring of 2020, Tetra Tech was contracted by the Maui
County Department of Parks and Recreation to perform a
Maui County Beach Parks Vulnerability Assessment. This
project includes a detailed analysis of the vulnerability of
Maui County’s beach parks and developing recommendations
to address short and long-term impacts of coastal hazards,
climate change, and other environmental threats.
In 2021, Tetra Tech was contracted by the County of Hawaii to develop the technical foundation to revise
the County’s shoreline setback rules to more effectively reduce risk to coastal hazards and climate change.
Tetra Tech is developing a coastal hazards typology island-wide to support the analysis of policy-induced
vulnerabilities and identification data gaps. In addition, a pilot study of using shoreline certification reports
to determine shoreline changes rates has been completed. Tetra Tech will integrate the results of new data
collection provided by UH-Hilo Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Lab in defining shoreline typologies
for the island that can be used to develop shoreline setback rules by typology.
In 2021, Tetra Tech was subcontracted by Focused Planning Solutions to prepare the County of Hawaii
Climate Adaptation Plan. The first phase of this project, to develop a project work plan, was completed in
November 2021. The second phase of the project will be to prepare the Climate Adaptation Plan. Key
activities conducted to develop the Work Plan include identification of climate threats; identification of
County assets and systems at risk (parks & beaches, critical infrastructure, socio-economic, fiscal, etc.); and
identification of criteria that can be used to prioritize assets for adaptation projects.
In 2023, Tetra Tech was contracted by the City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and
Permitting to develop the Waikiki Area Adaptation Plan. The focus of this plan is to recommend near-term
(30 years) design guidelines and regulatory changes to the Waikiki Special Design District.
Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 12
The Waikiki Area Adaptation Plan result in areawide design recommendations that will maintain Waikiki's
“sense of place.” The proposed guidelines and recommendations will reinforce Waikiki as a resort
destination, pedestrian priority place, and livable urban neighborhood. The Plan area generally aligns with
the Waikiki Special Design District, while includes consideration of adjacent parcels and areas that are
relevant for adaptation planning purposes.
1.11 Energy Engineering, Management, and Planning
Over the past 25 years, Tetra Tech has become an industry leader in energy engineering, energy resilience,
energy management, resource conservation, energy and water auditing, commissioning, sustainability

help our customers improve energy and water resilience to critical facilities and functions, optimize their
use of energy and water resources, develop meaningful energy management plans, and achieve
substantial cost savings in as practical and cost-effective a manner as possible.
Tetra Tech has been providing onsite energy management services to government clients since 1999
through resilience feasibility studies, Installation Energy and Water Plans (IEWPs), Resource Efficiency
Manager (REM) programs, energy audits, and retro-commissioning projects. We have provided energy
management and resilience services to the Army National Guard (ARNG), Army, Army Reserves, Air National
Guard (ANG), Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and other government agencies in Hawaiʻi and
across the United States. Through these programs, Tetra Tech provides engineering services to assess and
develop energy projects.
Tetra Tech has a specially-trained energy resilience team that has completed 17 energy and water
resilience master plans for multiple state clients for National Guard facilities in Michigan, Idaho, Montana,
South Dakota, North Carolina, Colorado, and West Virginia. Tetra Tech has generated solutions to improve
energy and water resilience to meet specific client planning factors. Solutions include evaluating
distributed generation assets such as diesel generators, natural gas turbines, combined heat and power
(CHP) sources, photovoltaic (PV) arrays, and energy storage systems, and investigating alternate water
sources and water storage. These statewide efforts also often include American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Level II energy and water audits to ensure that
systems are efficient and demand is reduced when planning for resilience.
1.12 Microgrid Feasibility Studies
Tetra Tech provides full life-cycle microgrid services including technical advisory, feasibilities studies,
grant application support, detailed engineering, procurement, commissioning and performance
monitoring. We have a long history supporting climate adaptation and energy resiliency at critical national
defense and transportation sites including airports and seaports.
Tetra Tech has scoped, developed conceptual designs, and supported the development and
implementation of microgrid projects for multiple governmental clients. We help our government clients
build energy resilience at facilities by looking at the support infrastructure for mission critical facilities
including communications, police and fire, hospitals, airfields, and command and control buildings.
Hawaii Statement of Qualifications
Page 13
Microgrid designs may involve PV, battery storage, combined heat and power, and traditional generators,
meeting the resilience, renewable energy, and energy conservation goals of the clients.
Tetra Tech works with our clients first to identify the critical operations that need to be resilient. From
there, we help them identify stakeholders involved and the infrastructure that supports those operations.
We identify the critical loads that must have a backup power distribution system to satisfy all of the
emergency load requirements. Tetra Tech understands that emergency loads are not the same as steady
state loads and work closely with clients to factor in operational changes into microgrid capacity. Our
clients know what services are most critical to a municipality and we identify alternatives to ensure
appropriate backup power. We also know that it is not just electricity that needs to be backed up – water
and wastewater services are also vital to mission critical facilities to truly be functional for any duration of
power outage. Tetra Tech understands how to position the point of common coupling to serve the
immediate requirements and also allow expansion of the microgrid to meet future needs.
1.13 Other Services
In addition to the services mentioned above, our multidisciplinary team regularly assists with other related
support services such as strategy development, agency consultation, stakeholder engagement, and public
meeting support. Our staff have positive working relationships with numerous county, state, and federal
agencies. Other highlighted services we can provide include:
• Wetland and Waters of the U.S.
determinations and delineations
• Wetland functional assessments
• Noise analysis (underwater and
terrestrial)

Redevelopment Project. Project work includes development of a site-specific CEHMP to ensure that all activities
are performed in accordance with environmental conditions previously identified at the site and under the
purview of the Hawaii DOH HEER Office. Activities included characterization of shallow soil across more than 20
Decision Units (DUs) at the site, via a Geoprobe drilling rig using the MIS technique. The soil analytical data was
then used for soil management during the extensive excavation required for site redevelopment. Tetra Tech also
performed hazardous materials surveys, to evaluate the potential presence of LBP and ACM in buildings slated
for demolition. A soil vapor study was also performed in a building formerly used for vehicle maintenance, to
characterize the potential presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) prior to subsurface investigation
activities planned following building demolition. Over the course of the project three previously unknown
underground storage tanks were discovered and successfully removed. This project involves significant
coordination between Hawaiian Dredging, HPHA, and the HEER Office due to the iterative nature of the site
construction activities.

Site Assessment –
Poamoho Fire Site
Tetra Tech is performed site characterization services at the former illegal dump site in Poamoho, near Whitmore Village. The
focus of the site assessment was characterization of shallow soil conditions in the 15 acres formerly used as an illegal dump,
primarily for stolen car staging and associated “chop-shop” operations. In addition, there was other random trash and debris
scattered across the Site, including boats, liquefied petroleum gas tanks, etc. A portion of the Site burned in summer 2021,
with cars in place, creating the possibility for releases of oil and/or hazardous materials associated with incineration/melting
of a variety of car parts. In addition, prior to the fire, the staging of abandoned vehicles alone represents a threat of impact as
a result of leaks, and potential in-situ draining of automotive fluids, including oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and engine
coolant. The site characterization included more than 800 borings in 20 decision units. The site characterization activities
resulted in the DOH issuing No Further Action, with no restrictions for the site, allowing for the resumption of agricultural use
of the entire 15 acres. In addition, Tetra Tech subcontracted removal of residual solid waste across the site, which resulted in
a final DOH inspection, confirming there was less than 1 cubic yard of solid waste remaining across the entire 15 acres.

management of the material due to the presence of C&D debris, and the unknown origin of the material. Activities required
included: clearing and grubbing of the stockpile; a drone survey of the stockpile to more accurately quantify the volume of
material, and to establish a sampling grid; and sampling of three separate sub-piles using the MIS method, with 70 test pits
advanced by an excavator for sample collection. The sample plan required approval by the HEER Office; the HDOH Indoor and

Haleakala National
Park Avian Malaria
Suppression Efforts
Federally endangered birds in Haleakala National Park have rapidly declined in the last 20 years, with some reaching
perilously low numbers. Past and recent work has confirmed that the primary threat to native Hawaiian birds is non-
native avian malaria, transmitted by a non-native vector, the Culex mosquito. Recent advances allow for the possibility
to use a sterile insect technique, Wolbachia incompatibility, to suppress mosquitoes and their associated diseases.
Based on this approach, the National Park Service (NPS) and State of Hawaii are proposing to use of the Wolbachia
technique at a landscape level to suppress non-native mosquito reproduction or population size and thus avian malaria
transmission to native forest birds on East Maui. In addition to the NPS and State of Hawaii, the Nature Conservancy
and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are key project stakeholders. Tetra Tech assisted with project planning and early
outreach, including a highly successful 3-day virtual Microsoft Teams workshop with more than 30 participants, and
preparation of an environmental assessment (EA) in compliance with both the NEPA and the HEPA (HRS Chapter 343).
Specific tasks include pre-NEPA environmental planning services, scoping meetings and materials, preparation of an
EA for public review, EA review meetings and materials, analysis of and response to EA comments, preparation of a
decision document, and compilation of the decision file for the project.
