Honu'apo Park Resource Management Plan

Honuÿapo Park Final Resources Management Plan
consider one-time implementation costs but also annual costs and labor
requirements of different wetlands restoration alternatives in their plan.
Alternatives that are more labor intensive in the long run may not be
desirable as KOOH relies primarily on volunteer labor support. KOOH
should identify funding sources for long-term management of estuary
restoration, as well as entities and organizations that can provide specialized
support.
L. Ala Kahakai Trail Segment
Project Description: Maintenance of the unimproved coastal trail along the
length of Honuÿapo Park. This trail is “walking access only” and ties into the
section of the historic alanui aupuni (Old Government Road) remaining at
the northern end of the park. This coastal trail can be part of the Ala Kahakai
National Historic Trail and can be managed in partnership with community
groups and the NPS. Maintenance activities in the trail corridor should
include removal of fire prone invasive plants, particularly California and
Guinea grass, and propagation of drought- and salt-tolerant native coastal
plants.
Preliminary Implementation Cost Estimate: $10,000 for supplies assuming
labor is on a volunteer basis.
Long-term Management Considerations: the NPS is interested in working
with local community groups and küpuna on the establishment and longterm
maintenance of the Ala Kahakai Trail. Several community groups and
individuals have expressed interest in providing support to KOOH for
maintenance of the Ala Kahakai Trail at Honuÿapo.
6.3 Phase III Projects
M. New Park and Camping Facilities: pavilion, picnic tables, campsites, BBQ
pits
Project Description: Construct a 1,500-square-foot open multiuse pavilion
with concrete foundation, designed to blend well with its environment.
Electrical power is provided for the pavilion using solar photovoltaic energy.
Construct ADA compliant access to the pavilion and restrooms using lowimpact
paving materials such as permeable pavers. Install picnic tables,
trash receptacles, and BBQ pits around the park and at campsites with
attention to decreasing potential for wildfire ignition. No lighting provided at
campsites to minimize light pollution.
Preliminary Implementation Cost Estimate: $270,000
