Honuÿapo <strong>Park</strong> Final <strong>Resource</strong>s <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
B. New Honuÿapo <strong>Park</strong> access from Mill Ditch Road and Removal of Existing<br />
<strong>Park</strong> Entrance.<br />
Project Description: Clear, grub, grade, and construct a paved 20-foot-wide<br />
by 900 feet long road access to the Whittington and new coastal park<br />
sections of Honuÿapo <strong>Park</strong> using low-impact paving materials such as<br />
porous asphalt. Porous asphalt is similar to conventional asphalt except that<br />
its mix has a lower concentration of fine material, thus allowing water to<br />
drain through. A recharge bed consisting of uniformly-graded stone mix<br />
must be placed beneath the asphalt to serve as storm water storage and<br />
filtration. Design and construction of porous pavement is more elaborate<br />
than conventional pavement; consequently, installation cost of porous<br />
asphalt may be approximately 10 to 15% higher than conventional asphalt.<br />
However, porous asphalt can provide cost savings by not requiring storm<br />
water drains.<br />
No road lighting provided. Demolish existing paved entrance to Whittington<br />
<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Preliminary Implementation Cost Estimate: $310,000<br />
Long-term <strong>Management</strong> Considerations: Porous asphalt is generally as<br />
durable as conventional asphalt; however, its drainage effectiveness can be<br />
affected by clogging from fine particles. It is generally recommended that<br />
the pavement surface be vacuum-swept annually to maintain drainage<br />
effectiveness.<br />
C. New BBQ pits at Whittington <strong>Park</strong> Section<br />
Project Description: Construct BBQ pits near campsites and picnic tables at<br />
Whittington park section.<br />
Preliminary Implementation Cost Estimate: $15,000<br />
D. Makai Watch Program<br />
Project Description: Work with the Hawaiÿi branch of DOCARE to establish<br />
a Makai Watch program that could be tailored to KOOH’s goals and<br />
objectives. As part of the Makai Watch program, KOOH could monitor<br />
human use, increase awareness, enforce fishing regulations, and monitor the<br />
biological condition of the shoreline zone.<br />
Preliminary Implementation Cost Estimate: $5,000 for supplies assuming<br />
labor is on a volunteer basis.<br />
Long-term <strong>Management</strong> Considerations: If monitoring indicates that the<br />
marine resources around Honuÿapo would benefit from additional<br />
protection measures, the coastal zone and Honuÿapo Estuary could be<br />
recommended for designation as a Marine Managed Area. The designation<br />
