These were Huilua, a loko kuapa or stone walled pond, and two inland freshwater ponds (pu'uone) both of which were located mauka (on the landward side) of the present highway. A remnant of the largest of the two ponds is located on the western side of Kahana Bay near the present boat ramp. Neither of the inland ponds was named. The foregoing description of Huilua Archeological Site 50-80-06-301), taken principally from Rothwell and Madden (1980:3-7), has been revised td depict conditions as they were observed during the May 1986 NFS inspection visit. Huilua Fishpond is a shallow, brackish water enclosure of approximately 4^ acres that is roughly shaped as a right triangle with the right angle of the base forming the northwest or seaward corner of the pond. The base or western wall abuts and partially deflects the effluent from the Kahana estuary as" it discharges into Kahatia Bay. This wall, approxi- mately 500 feet in length, is composed of compacted calcareous sands and terriginous muds which appear to have been dredged from the pond. The outer margjji of this wall has an irregular facing and parallel line of basaltic rock. Of decreasing width from the mauka or landward corner to the northwest corner, it ranges from approximately 75 feet to less than 10 feet in width. The general elevation ranges from 1 to 4 feet above high water with the highest portion to seaward. Vegetation covers the wall, providing significant stability and reducing the effects of erosion. The most prominent vegetation is false ironwood (Casuarina glauca), Kba haole (Leucania latisiligua), and Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon). Along the outside oTthe wall, an intermittent sand beach is accreted during portions of the year which nearly blocks the mouth of the estuary. This is quickly eroded during times of heavy stream discharge, allowing the waters to attack those portions of the wall unprotected by the remaining rock facing. Presently, the wall is being eroded by wave action in several places. This action is due in part to the loss of structural integrity at the northwest corner which permits the full force of waves to wash what has now become a peninsula from several angles. Nearly 50 feet of the seaward portion of the wall has been eroded, leaving a pile of basaltic rock which is covered at high and mid-tides. Presumably, this f^^rised a part of the original walls of the pond. Several false ironwoods have also been toppled in the process and are rapidly being broken up. In addition, a 100 foot section of the ^sSrnPwS? is heavily Galloped and the banks undercut; at hi^h tide ^sjef^ing around the northwest corner erode and wash over the remaining barrier which has been re­ duced to only several feet wide. At the extreme south end of the western wall are located two parallel makaha orsluice gatS? ^Safgate i* longer by approximately 10 feet than ^^.^-*f* channels hav^l^rtared stone walls (the mortar was introduced in historic tunes) and fS contrite gates (another historic addition).

Huilua Fishpond is one of only six re­ maining fishponds out of an estimated ninety-seven such structures that once existed on coastal Oahu (McAllister 1933:29) and one of the few ancient Hawaiian fishponds that were still operational well into this century. It is also one of only ten ponds left in the Hawaiian Islands which have not been denuded of their archeological sites during the course of historic coastal development (Kikuchi 1976:297) . A large majority of ponds throughout the Islands have been destroyed by natural agencies such as tsunamis (tidal waves) and sea storms. Technical Significance Aquacultural fishpond technology allowed the ancient Hawaiians to move beyond mere har­ vesting of fish and other marine products (i.e. crustaceans, shellfish, and seaweed) to intensive fish production and husbandry. Kikuchi (1973) reported a total of 449 ponds that were constructed prior to A.D. 1830, most during the prehistoric period. They were built on all the major islands but were most extensive on Kaua'i, O'ahu, Moloka'i and Hawai'i. Broad shallow reef flats or natural embayments provided an environment where ponds could be constructed easily in sweeping semicircular arcs out from the shoreline. Certain inland ponds, especially lava basins, along the shoreline were also modified with wall (kuapa, or pa), sluices ('auwai) and sluice gates (makaha) to convert them into operational fishponds. Ihe distinctive feature of the ponds was the sluice gates. The makaha was stationary with no moveable parts. This was the technological innovation, probably an adaptation from an earlier form used in irrigation agriculture (taro) , that enabled the prehistoric Hawaiians to progress from tide-dependent f ishtraps to artificial fishponds which could be controlled at all times of the tide (Apple and Kikuchi 1975:6) . Ponds varied in form, construction, methods of operation, and in the species of fish raised. Ponds or loko, were divided into two major categories: shore and inland ponds. Apple and Kikuchi (1975:7) further subdivided these categories into five major types: Type I Loko kuapa whose main characteristic is a seawall as its artificial enclosing feature and which usually contains one or more sluice gates . Huilua Pond has been traditionally classified as this type, although the recent study by Rothwell (1980) indicates it may contain features of both the Type I and Type II ponds. Huilua was a working fishpond (with modifications) until the late 1960s. A number of other Type I ponds are still operational, especially on Moloka'i where aerial photographs show extant ponds and remnants of older loko kuapa whose flattened walls now lie beneath the sea even at low tide. 9.

Lemmo, Administrator (808) 587-0377 Consultant: Trisha Kēhaulani Watson, JD, PhD Honua Consulting 4348 Waiʻalae Ave #254, Honolulu, HI 96816 (808) 392-1617 Summary The objective of the Proposed Action is the restoration, repair, maintenance and reconstruction of loko iʻa (traditional Hawaiian fishpond systems) across the paeʻāina of Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian archipelago). The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) is currently pursuing a State Programmatic General Permit (SPGP) from the federal government that will allow the State to streamline the permitting process by utilizing a single application process for the above activities. This action will stimulate traditional Hawaiian cultural activities and the restoration of fishpond systems and their related ecosystem services. Fishpond systems were a vital component of Hawaiʻi’s pre-contact native Hawaiian communities; their degradation was caused by the urbanization and colonization brought and fostered by foreign contact, as well as natural impacts, such as tsunamis and storms.

Farm Service Agency United States Department of Agriculture February 2006 1-1 2006 Hawaii CREP FINAL Programmatic Environmental Assessment THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. 1-2 2006 Hawaii CREP FINAL Programmatic Environmental Assessment Cover Sheet Mandated Action: The United States Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation (USDA/CCC) and the State of Hawaii have agreed to implement the Hawaii Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), a component of the national Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). USDA is provided the statutory authority by the provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended (1985 Act) (16 U.S.C. 3830 et seq.), the 2002 Farm Bill (signed into law on May 13, 2002), and the regulations at 7 CFR 1410. In accordance with the 1985 Act and the recently enacted 2002 Farm Bill, USDA/CCC is authorized to enroll lands through 2007. The Farm Service Agency (FSA) of USDA proposes to enter into a CREP agreement with the State of Hawaii covering the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii. CREP is a voluntary land conservation program for agricultural land operators and land owners. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance for this project included the drafting of the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the CRP. The Notice of Availability for this PEIS was published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2003 and the Record of Decision (ROD) was published on May 8, 2003. The ROD detailed FSA’s implementation of the re-authorized CRP according to the provisions of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107-121 (2002 Farm Bill).
