Purpose of the Community Profile The purpose of the community profile is to comprehensively describe the existing conditions of the plan- ning area to provide a fact-based foundation to build policies. The sources of information include previ- ous plans and studies, available mapping data, interviews with agencies, and input from the residents of the area who possess local knowledge. This profile describes the physical, social, cultural, and economic conditions, and also highlights the community’s values, stakeholders, and issues. 1.2. Planning Area The Hämäkua CDP planning area, totaling approximately 1,164 square miles (745,144 acres), encom- passes the judicial districts of Hämäkua (57%) and North Hilo (32%), and a portion of South Hilo referred to as Rural South Hilo (11%) (“Planning Area”). The southern boundary follows the Council District 1 boundary, which is located north of Wailuku River and follows an unnamed stream just north of Puke- hae Stream, thence along stretches of Waiau and Awehi Streams. The Planning Area includes the com- munities of Ähualoa, Waipi‘o Valley, Kukuihaele, Honoka‘a, Kalöpä, Pa‘auilo, ‘O‘ökala, Laupähoehoe, Päpa‘aloa, Nïnole, Umauma, Wailea, Hakalau, Honomü, Pepe‘ekeö, Päpa‘ikou, Pauka‘a, Wainaku, Kai- wiki and other small communities and subdivisions (see Figure 1-1). 1.3. Process Used to Compile the Community Profile This community profile resulted from the following steps: 1. Community Values. Between September 2009 and May 2010, the County of Hawai‘i invited the residents in the Planning Area to respond to two questions by survey or dur- ing small group “Talk Story” meetings: What do you LOVE about Hämäkua? and What would you like to SEE in Hämäkua in 20 years? Responses to those questions were used to identify the community’s values and vision, as discussed in chapter 9 of this profile document. 2. Background Research. The consultant reviewed previous plans and studies, and orga- nized available mapping data into a geodatabase. The references used for the profile are listed at the end of this profile, including the information sources for the mapped informa- tion. 3. Consultation with the Community and Agencies. Data gathering workshops open to the public were held in Rural South Hilo, North Hilo, and Hämäkua during October and November 2010. Interviews were also held as necessary with various agencies and stake- holders to followup on more detailed information. 1-1 Chapter 1: Introduction Figure 1-1. Planning Area 1-2 Community Profile Section: Previous Plans 4. Regional Workshop. A regional workshop, held in _____ and attended by ___ persons, verified the information gathered from a broader Planning Area-wide geographical per- spective. 1.4. Previous Plans The Planning Area has been the subject of several previous planning efforts: • A Plan for the Hämäkua District. In 1970, the County prepared a plan for the Hämäkua District (Kasamoto, et al 1970). The succinct style with its focus on pragmatic recommen- dations and a financing plan provided a useful historical backdrop to understand some of today’s patterns of roads and public facilities. The Hämäkua District Development Coun- cil played an active role in developing the plan, and the plan encouraged the continued role of this community-based entity to advise the Planning Department. Although not adoptedy b ordinance or resolution, the plan was intended to be used as a guide, par- ticularly when formulating the capital improvements budget. For this current Community Development Plan, this 1970 plan was used as a historical reference. • Northeast Hawaii Community Development Plan. In 1979, the County adopted the Northeast Hawaii Community Development Plan by Ordinance No. 445 that encom- passed most of the Planning Area (EDAW and Tanaka 1979) (referred to as the “1979 CDP”). This 1979 CDP included urban design plans for Honokaÿa (Ordinance No. 463) and Laupähoehoe (Ordinance No. 444). The 1979 CDP followed the organization of the General Plan into 12 subject elements. Upon review, most of the 1979 recommendations were found in need of update or too general. In contrast, the urban design plans were quite detailed and provided a starting point to update the plans for these areas. The cur- rent Community Development Plan, also adopted by ordinance, updates and supersedes the 1979 CDP and companion urban design plans. • Hämäkua Regional Plan. In 1990, the State and County jointly formed the Hämäkua Steering Committee (not to be confused with the Steering Committee setup for this cur- rent Community Development Plan) to prepare a strategic plan to save the sugar industry (Hämäkua Steering Committee 1990).

  • Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015
    STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN 2015 Department of Land & Natural Resources ii Hawai‘i Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015 Update PREFACE The Hawai‘i State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2015 Update is prepared in conformance with a basic requirement to qualify for continuous receipt of federal grants for outdoor recreation projects under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act, Public Law 88-758, as amended. Through this program, the State of Hawai‘i and its four counties have received more than $38 million in federal grants since inception of the program in 1964. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has the authority to represent and act for the State in dealing with the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of the LWCF Act of 1965, as amended, and has taken the lead in preparing this SCORP document with the participation of other state, federal, and county agencies, and members of the public. The SCORP represents a balanced program of acquiring, developing, conserving, using, and managing Hawai‘i’s recreation resources. This document employs Hawaiian words in lieu of English in those instances where the Hawaiian words are the predominant vernacular or when there is no English substitute. Upon a Hawaiian word’s first appearance in this plan, an explanation is provided. Every effort was made to correctly spell Hawaiian words and place names. As such, two diacritical marks, ‘okina (a glottal stop) and kahakō (macron) are used throughout this plan. The primary references for Hawaiian place names in this plan are the book Place Names of Hawai‘i (Pukui, 1974) and the Hawai‘i Board on Geographic Names (State of Hawai‘i Office of Planning, 2014).

Lanikaula Street Hilo, HI 96720 June 2010 Bus Stop Location Project for County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Inventory and Initial Screening Report Introduction County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency Bus Stop Location Project Inventory and Initial Screening Report I. Introduction The County of Hawaii Mass Transit Agency (MTA) currently operates on a flagstop basis. With increased usage and traffic, MTA is moving into a designated bus stop program. SSFM International, Inc. (SSFM) was contracted to identify locations for bus stops islandwide and to determine if locations warrant an official bus stop listed in the Hawaii County Code. Official bus stops will need to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. This Inventory and Initial Screening Report constitutes the deliverable for Task One of the work program for this study. Based on field work conducted and meetings held with bus drivers, SSFM developed a complete inventory of bus stops islandwide. The inventory, consisting of approximately 575 stops, was then divided into priority and non-priority stops for the remainder of the work tasks in this study. Priority stops, totaling approximately 100 stops, were recommended based on surrounding land use, frequency, and local knowledge. The list of priority stops is shown in (Appendix 1). These stops handle the bulk of the ridership and are in close vicinity to schools, resorts, medical facilities, and urban centers.

C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 HAWAII By E. G. Bailey EXPLANATION This Index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations In Hawaii for which records have been or are to be published In reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. The stations are listed In the downstream order. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed In a downstream direction. Tributary streams are Indicated by Indention and are Inserted between main-stem stations In the order In which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank. A stream name only is inserted where necessary for the purpose of showing the proper rank or order of tributaries. Station names are given in their most recently published forms. Parentheses around part of a station name indicate that the enclosed word or words were used in an earlier published name of the station or in a name under which records were published by some agency other than the Geological Survey.
