Early Consultation for Proposed Kahului Airport Access Road Phase I
Dear Mr. Merhoff: Thank you for your letter of April 18, 2008, providing early consultation comments on the proposed Kahului Airport Access Road. We provide the following information to address the comments noted.
1.
Hawaiian Hoary Bat
A biological resources field survey was conducted for the project area. The survey included an evening visit to record crepuscular activities and vocalizations, to see if there was any evidence of occurrence of the Hawaiian hoary bat. The results of the survey were negative.
2.
Newe11's Shearwater
The biological resources field survey did not include any observations of the Newell's shearwater. Lighting for the roadway will be shielded as you have suggested.
