Dear Mr. Roy:
SUBJECT:
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 Review Revised: Proposed Kahului Airport Access Road, Phase 1 Wailuku Ahupua'a, Wailuku District, Isla~d of Maui
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the aforementioned undertaking, which we received on August 31, 2011. This project qualifies as an undertaking pursuant to 36 CFR ยง 800 due to the use of federal funds. This revised letter was prepared following discussions between yourself and Morgan Davis, Lead Archaeologist for SHPD on MauL As a result of those conversations we have agreed to produce a revised letter to clarify our understanding of this project (Log No. 2011.1328, Doc No. 1107MDlO). This undertaking is part of a larger project involving the Kahului Airport Development, which is by a Programmatic Agreement (PA) among: the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA); and the Hawaii State Preservation Officer (SHPO). Concurring Signatories include the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT); the Maui/Lana'i Island Burial Council (MLmC); and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). That project is indicated by three phases enumerated within the PA; phase 1 of the proposed Kahului Airport Access Road is not the same as phase 1 in the PA. Phase 1 of the Kahului Airport Access Road runs from Puunene Avenue to the Hana Highway. It is being undertaken by the Highways Division of HDOT, with federal funding provided by the Federal Highways Administration. This location was in sugarcane for over 100 years, with no historic properties identified during the archaeological survey. Based on the information above, we concur that there will be no historic properties affected by this proposed undertaking pursuant to 36 CFR ยง 800 as long as mitigation in the form of the approved archaeological monitoring plan occurs (Shefcheck and Dega 2006; Log No. 2006.4238, Doc No. 0612MK33). If you have questions about this letter please contact Morgan Davis at (808) 243-5169 or via email to: morgan.e.davis@hawaii.gov.
