Final Environmental Impact Statement Passive Preservation Sites in this category do not undergo any interpretive development, occur in areas that can be avoided by development, and are left as category are not intended to be permanently preserved, but are anticipated to undergo data recovery procedures in the future, presumably when improved data gathering techniques and refined analysis technologies are available or on large tracts of land where development is intended to take place in incremental phases; and Active Preservation Sites in this category are chosen for their interpretive potential. Their selection may be based on aesthetic, academic, or cultural representation values. Different levels of interpretive development may be undertaken, including: stabilization, partial or complete restoration, and/or reconstruction. Signs may be involved, and details regarding access and protocols need to be worked out. Off-Property Areas The AIS reports for the off-site water and wastewater infrastructure areas recommend that in view of the negative results, no further pre-construction archaeological procedures are warranted. However, archaeological monitoring of constructionrelated ground disturbing activities is recommended. When water and wastewater system plans are finalized, archaeological monitoring plans will be prepared and submitted to SHPD for review and approval before commencement of any construction activities. The limited width of the water and wastewater transmission line corridors will facilitate avoidance of any inadvertent discoveries that warrant preservation. The Piÿilani Highway widening area from Kilohana Drive to Wailea Ike Drive is within the existing highway ROW or adjacent to previously disturbed land. The area of the Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive intersection improvements is also within an area of previously disturbed land. The State Historic Preservation Division has determined that archaeological inventory surveys of the areas of the Piÿilani Highway widening and the Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive intersection improvements are not required; however archaeological monitoring plans will be prepared and a qualified archaeological monitor will be present during all ground altering disturbances. For more information on the widening of Piÿilani Highway see Section 4.4 (Roadways and Traffic) and Appendix R, which contains the complete Piÿilani Highway Widening Project Final EA. Appendix G of the Final EA contains the SHPD letter regarding the need for archaeological monitoring plan for the Piÿilani Highway widening area. For more information on the Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive intersection improvements see Section 4.4 (Roadways and Traffic) and Appendix S, which contains the complete Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive Intersection Improvements Final EA. Appendix G of the Final EA contains the SHPD letter regarding the need for archaeological monitoring plan for the Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive intersection improvements.

Final Environmental Impact Statement Inadvertent Finds In addition to the protections to be instituted through the CRPP and its contractors will comply with all State and County laws and rules regarding the preservation of archaeological and historic sites. Should historic sites such as walls, platforms, pavements and mounds, or remains such as artifacts, burials, concentrations of shell or charcoal be inadvertently encountered during the construction activities, work will cease immediately in the immediate vicinity of the find and the find will be protected. The contractor shall immediately contact SHPD, which will assess the significance of the find and recommend appropriate mitigation measures, if necessary. 4.2 CULTURAL RESOURCES Hana Pono, LLC prepared a cultural impact assessment for the Honuaÿula Property to identify traditional customary practices within the Property and in the vicinity of the Property. The cultural impact assessment was conducted in accordance with the OEQC Guidelines for Assessing Cultural Impacts and includes archival research and interviews with people knowledgeable of Honuaÿula and the surrounding area. Findings of the cultural impact assessment and other relevant information are summarized below. Appendix K contains the complete cultural impact assessment. Hana Pono, LLC also prepared a cultural impact assessment specifically for the widening of Piÿilani Highway. The cultural impact assessment concluded that no current gathering practices or access concerns occur within the Piÿilani Highway widening area. For more information on the widening of Piÿilani Highway see Section 4.4 (Roadways and Traffic) and Appendix R, which contains the complete Piÿilani Highway Widening Project Final EA. Appendix H of the Final EA contains the cultural impact assessment specifically for the widening of Piÿilani Highway. While a specific cultural impact assessment was not prepared for the Wailea Ike Drive and Wailea Alanui Drive intersection improvement area, in a letter dated March 9, 2011 Hana Pono, LLC concluded that the intersection improvements are not expected to impact any cultural resources, access concerns or current gathering practices, as none are known to exist in the area. In addition, Hana Pono, LLC, completed a review -site water and wastewater infrastructure areas and determined that there are no known cultural resources, access concerns, or current gathering practices occurring in these areas. Figure 2 shows the locations of these off-site water and wastewater infrastructure areas. 4.2.1 Honuaula Moku The Honuaÿula moku was one of 12 ancient districts of Maui Island.
