Dear Ms. Gloor:
SUBJECT: Hamakua Community Development Plan Review
The Department of Health (DOH), Environmental Planning Office(EPO), acknowledges receipt of your plan to our
office via our District Health Office, Hawaii Island and the Hamakua CDP web link:
http://records.co.hawaii.hi.uslWebLink/PDF/13ntcmwnkhw5nngge2bcgtuf/147/Recommended%20Hamakua%20CDP
pdf
We understand from your Memorandum dated March 15,2017 that our DHO Hawaii Island received that,
The General Plan is the County of Hawai'i's policy document for the long range comprehensive development of the
County. Chapter 15 of the General Plan(2005 edition, as amended)establishes the County's CDP program to create
a framework for regional planning thatprovides residents and other stakeholders the opportunity to actively
participate in planning for their communities.
The Hamakua CDP planning area includes the Judicial Districts of Hamakua and North Hilo, and parts of South Hilo,
with the southern planning area edge bordering Kaiwiki and Hau Street. The planning area includes the towns ofKukuihaele, Honoka'a, Pa'auilo, 'O'okala, Laupahoehoe, Papa'aloa, Ninole, Hakalau/Wailea, Honomil, Pepe'ekeo,
Papa'ikou, and Pauka'a, and all of the agricultural and conservation lands in between. In late 2016, the Steering
Committee for the Hamakua Community Development Plan(CDP)formally recommended the Hamakua CDP for
adoption. Following agency review, the CDP will go to the Windward Planning Commission for review and
recommendations. The County Council will then consider the CDP for adoption by ordinance.
Importantly, the Hamakua CDP is the community's plan, with guidance and direction provided by the CDP Steeling
Committee. The Steering Committee is a volunteer advisory board composed of a diverse, representative mix of
community members. Now that the Steering Committee has recommended approval, the County can consider the
CDP for adoption. Since CDP's are adopted by ordinance, we must ensure that they are consistent with existing
statutes, codes, and plans.Agency review is therefore critical."
In the development and implementation of all Community Development Plans, EPO suggests review of DOH
Strategic Planning. A copy of the DOH Strategic Plan(2015-2018)is available at: http://health.hawaii.gov/opppd
The Environmental Health has strategic Plans to help achieve the Governors Environmental Plan(2015-2019)see:
http://governor.hawaii.gov/action-plan/environment. A brief summary of environmental health activities in line with
the State Environmental initiatives are provided at: http://health.hawaii.gov/epo/strategic

For all projects, EPO strongly recommends regular review of State and Federal environmental health land use
guidance. State standard comments and available strategies to support sustainable and healthy design are provided
at: http://health.hawaii.gov/epo/landuse. Projects are required to adhere to all applicable standard comments. EPO
has recently updated the environmental Geographic Information System (GIS)website page. It now compiles
various maps and viewers from our environmental health programs. The eGIS website page is continually updated
so please visit it regularly at: http://health.hawaii.gov/epo/egis.
In 2015, Hawaii passed Act 97 which amended Hawaii's Renewable Portfolio Standards by setting a goal for Hawaii
to become one hundred percent renewable by the year 2045. To reach this goal Hawaii should transform its
transportation sector from the use of fossil fuels to renewable fuel,electric vehicles(EV)s,and bicycles. To address
range anxiety"and facilitate the adoption of EVs, it is essential that EV charging stations be added to any planned
parking areas open to the EV driving public.All efforts should be made to reduce harmful vehicle emissions, reduce
vehicle miles travelled(VMT's), encourage alternative modes of transport and increase physical activity.
EPO also encourages you to examine and utilize the Hawaii Environmental Health Portal at:
https://eha-cloud.doh.hawaii.gov. This site provides links to our e-Permitting Portal, Environmental Health
Warehouse, Groundwater Contamination Viewer, Hawaii Emergency Response Exchange, Hawaii State and Local
Emission Inventory System,Water Pollution Control Viewer,Water Quality Data,Warnings,Advisories and Postings.
We note your mention of the DOH,Clean Water Branch (CWB)on page 64, under
Kokua Action 14:Complete a comprehensive water quality monitoring program for the Planning Area's coastal
waters". DOH CWB would like to assist in this action. Kokua Action 15:Prioritize developing Total Maximum Daily
Loads(TMDLs)for Impaired Steams. (Clean Water Act—303d). Our CWB monitoring section would like to assist in
this action as well.
We suggest you review the requirements of the CWB (Hawaii Administrative Rules{HAR}, Chapter 11-54-1.1, -3,4-
8)and/or the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit(HAR,Chapterll-55)at:
http://health.hawaii.gov/cwb. If you have any questions, please contact the Clean Water Branch (CWB), Engineering
Section at(808)586-4309 or cleanwaterbranch@doh.hawaii.gov. If your project involves waters of the U.S., it is
highly recommended that you contact the Army Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Branch at: (808)835-4303.
We note your initiative to(Section 5.7, page 80)improve Water and Wastewater Infrastructure to prioritize the
improvement of existing potable water and wastewater systems to support infill growth. Our DOH Safe Drinking
Water Branch (SDWB)and Wastewater Branch (WWB)would like to assist you in this objective. Please note that all
wastewater plans must conform to applicable provisions (HAR, Chapter 11-62,"Wastewater Systems"). We reserve
the right to review the detailed wastewater plans for conformance to applicable rules. Should you have any
questions, please review online guidance at: http://health.hawaii.gov/wastewater and contact the Planning and
Design Section of the Wastewater Branch (WWB)at(808)586-4294.
We are encouraged by the fact that your plan mentions renewable energy and sustainability. For questions in
regards to reducing harmful air emissions and monitoring, including mapping, existing emissions please contact the
Clean Air Branch via e-mail at: Cab.General@doh.hawaii.qov or call (808)586-4200.
A phase I Environmental Site Assessment(ESA)and site investigation should be conducted for residential
development or redevelopment projects in current or formerly used industrial areas and on formerly and currently
zoned agricultural land used for growing sugar, pineapple or other agricultural products. If the investigation shows
Ms. LeAna Gloor, Project Manager
Page 3
April 20,2017
that a release of petroleum, hazardous substance, pollutants or contaminants may have occurred at the site,the site
should be properly characterized through an approved Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH)/Hazard Evaluation
and Emergency Response Office(NEER)soil and/or groundwater sampling plan. Please refer to Sections 3 and 4 of
the HEER Office Technical Guidance Manual http://www.hawaiidoh.org.
If the site is found to be contaminated,then all removal and remedial actions to clean up hazardous substance or oil
releases by past and present owners/tenants must comply with State Law(HRS, Chapter 128D, "Environmental
Response Law", Chapter 451, "State Contingency Plan"). To identify HEER records related to the property,visit
http:!/eha-web.doh.hawaii.qov/eha-cma/Leaders/HEER/public-records. For information on site assessment and
cleanup programs review: http://eha-web.doh.hawaii.gov/eha-cma/Leaders/HEER/site-assessment-and-cleanup-
programs. Any specific questions should be directed to the HEER office at(808)586-4249.
For any matters regarding safe food handling education and increasing transparency on policy and education
regarding DOH rules on food production and service(Kokua Action 68-page 94)please review the updated
Sanitation Branch website: http://health.hawaii.qov/san, contact the DHO Hawaii or our Honolulu based Sanitation
Branch.
You may also wish to review the draft Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC)viewer at:
http://eha-web.doh.hawaii.gov/oegc-viewer. This viewer geographically shows where some previous Hawaii
Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)(Hawaii Revised Statutes,Chapter 343)documents have been prepared.
To better protect public health and the environment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)has developed
a new environmental justice (EJ)mapping and screening tool called EJSCREEN. It is based on nationally consistent
data and combines environmental and demographic indicators in maps and reports. EPO encourages you to
explore, launch and utilize this powerful tool in planning your project. The EPA EJSCREEN tool is available at:
http:!/www.epa.gov/ejscreen. For older structures,containing lead paint and or asbestos that need to be removed
please review the information on our Indoor Radiological Health Branch website: http://health.hawaii.qov/irhb
contact the DHO Hawaii or our Indoor, Radiological Health Branch in Honolulu.
For information on hazard evaluation and emergency response activities please see our HEER Office website at:
