Consultation Request – North Kawaihae
The Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DLNR – DOBOR), on behalf of the State of Hawaiʻi, invites you to participate in the consultation process under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) for the North Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor Breakwater Improvements Project.
The proposed undertaking includes repairing and modifying the existing west main breakwater at the harbor by raising its height from 6 feet to 10 feet above mean lower low water level and extending the breakwater 80 feet inland. The area of potential effect (APE) is 5.22 acres.
Pursuant to 36 CFR§800.3(f), DOBOR seeks to identify and consult with individuals or organizations who may have knowledge regarding historic properties, including archaeological sites, historic buildings or structures, and traditional cultural properties, that may be located within the APE.
The State Historic Preservation Division has previously determined that the proposed project will have no effect on historic properties. DOBOR is continuing with additional consultation in accordance with NHPA Section 106 to ensure that all potentially relevant information regarding historic properties is considered.
If you have information regarding historic properties within the APE or wish to participate in the Section 106 consultation process, please submit your response in writing or by email within 30 days of this notice. Responses may be sent by mail to Shannon Gomez, Pacific Consulting Services, 1130 N. Nimitz Hwy, Room C300, Honolulu HI 96817 or by email to Shannon@pcsihawaii.com.
