Mr. Les Wallach 7691 Calle Sin Miedo Tucson,PLZ 85718
Dear Mr. Wallach:
Certificate of Pump Installation Completion for Muolea-Wallach Well Well No. 4100-02 (TMK (2) 1-5-007:007)
We are pleased to inform you that the Pump Installation work permitted for the Muolea Wallach Well (Well No. 4100-02) is complete and acceptable and welcome you as a new member to the community of well owners and ground water users in Hawaii. This certificate of pump installation completion allows you to commence pumping your well for reasonable & beneficial water use.
To protect Hawaii's natural ground water resources for the benefit of all, the following requirements apply to the use of your well:
1. If the well is not in use it must be properly capped.
2. If the well is to be abandoned then the landowner must cause a licensed contractor to apply for a well abandonment permit in accordance with §13-168-12(f), HAR, prior to any well sealing or plugging work.
3. In the event that the well operator and/or landowner changes, the Commission shall be notified prior to the change.
4. In the event the benchmark in the concrete base of the well is altered in any way, an updated version of the Well Elevation page of the Well Completion Report Part I shall be submitted to the Commission. If a licensed surveyor had estimated the original benchmark elevation then a licensed surveyor must establish the new benchmark elevation. The Well Elevation portion of the Well Completion Report Part I can be obtained by contacting Commission staff or at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/cwrmlforms.htm. o o tMr. -I-~s Wallach Page 2 July 14,2009
5 . Your approved pump has a capacity of 32 gpm at a head of 440 ft. In the future, pump replacements of equal or lesser capacity will not require an additional permit from the Commission, but will require the submission of a Well Completion Report Part II by the licensed pump installer. If the pump replacement is greater than the existing pump, you will need to apply for a new pump installation permit.
6. The landowner shall cause the well operator to maintain the installed meter or other appropriate means for measuring and reporting withdrawals and water levels, and appropriate devices or means for measuring chlorides and temperature. These data shall be measured monthly and reported to the Commission on a annual basis, on forms provided by the Chairperson (attached), in accordance with § 13-168-7, HAR. Blank water use report forms are also available at www. hawaii.gov/dlnr/cwrmlresources~ermits.htm
7. The proposed use shall not adversely affect existing or future legal uses of water in the area, including any surface water or established instream flow standards. The authorization to drill a well and/or install a pump shall not constitute a determination of correlative water rights. The landowner and well operator are notified that the quantity of water taken from the well and/or the pump capacity could be reduced by the Commission in the future.
8. In the event that your installed pump is less than 70 gallons per minute, and no elevation survey has been completed, you may be required to do one in the future.
Because ground water in Hawaii is a public trust, and adverse effects at one well may affect other water resources, any violation of the above conditions or any other provision of the Hawaii Administrative Rules may be subject to fines of up to $5,000 per day. The Commission needs your help and asks that you to do your part in utilizing this shared resource. We prefer to work with you in meeting the goal of protecting our ground water resources together.
If you have any questions, please contact Charley Ice of the Commission staff at 587-0218 or toll-free at 984-2400 (Maui), extension 70218.

In accordance with Department of Land and Natural Resources, Commission on Water Res~urce Management's Administrative Rules, Section 13-168, entitled "Water Use, Wens, and Stream Diversion Works", this document permits the construction and testing of Muolea-Wallach (We11 No. 4100-02) at TMK (2) 1-5-007:007, Maui, subject to the Hawaii Well Construction & Pump Installation Standards (HWCPIS - February 2004) which include but are not limited to the following conditions: I. The Chairperson of the Commission on Water Resource Ma!!agement (Commission), P.O. Box 621, Honolulu, HI 96809, shall be notified, in writing, at least two (2) weeks before any work authonzed by this penmt commences and staff shall be allowed to inspect installation activities in accordance with § 13-168-15, Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR). 2. This permit shall be prominently displayed, or made available, at the site of construction work until work is completed. 3. The well construction permit shall be for construction and testing of the well only. The permittee shall coordinate with the Chairperson and conduct a pumping test in accordance with the HWCPIS (the latest pump test worksheet can be obtained by contacting Commission staff or at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/cwrmlresources..JICrmits.htm). The permittee shall submit to the Chairperson the test results as a basis fur supporting an application to install a permanent pump. No permanent pump may be installed until a pump installation permit is approved and issued by the Chairperson. No WIthdrawal of water shall be .made for purposes other than testing without a Certificate of Pump Installation Completion. The permitted pump capacity described on the pump mstallatlOn permIt may be reduced m the event that the pump test does not support the capacity. 4. In basal ground water, the depth of the well may not exceed one-fourth (1/4) of the theoretical thickness (41 times initial head) of the basal ground water unless otherwise authOrized by the Ch~ifP,erson. If it can be s~own that the well does not tap basal ground water then this condition may be waived ~ consultation WIth and .acceptance by CommISSIOn staff. However, m no mstance can the well be dnlled deeper than one-half (1/2) of the theorettcal thIckness without CommIssIon approval.
5. The permittee shall incorporate mitigation measures to prevent construction debris from entering the aquatic environment, to schedule work to avoid periods of high rainfall, and to revegetate any cleared areas as soon as possible. 6. In the event that historically significant remains such as artifacts, burials or concentrations of shells or charcoal are encountered during construction, the permittee shall stop work and immediately contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources' State Historic Preservation DiVIsion. Work may recommence only after written concurrence by the State Histone Preservation Division. 7. The proposed well construction shall not adversely affect existing or future legal uses of water in the area, including any surface water or established instream flow standards. This permit or the authorization to construct the well shall not constitute a detennination of correlative water rights. 8. The Well Completion Report Part I shall be submitted to the Chairperson within sixty (60) days after completion of work (please contact staff or visit www.hBwaii.gov/dlnr/cwrmlresources....Permits.htm for current form). 9. The permittee shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, and ordinances; non-compliance may be grounds for revocation of this permit. 10. The well construction permit application and, if relevant, any related staff submittal approved by the Commission are incorporated into this permit by reference.
II. If the HWCPIS are not followed and as a consequence water is wasted or contaminated, a lien on the property may result.
12. Any variances from the HWCPIS shall be approved by the Chairperson prior to invoking the variance. 13. The work proposed in the well construction permit application shall be completed within two (2) years from the date of permit approval, unless otherwise specified. The permit may be extended by the Chairperson upon a showing of good cause and good-faith performance. A request to extend the permit shall be submitted to the Chairperson no later than the date the permit expires. 14. If the well is not to be used it must be prorerly capped.

BOX 621 HONOLULU, HAWAII 96809 May 8, 2009 Mr. John Blumer-Buell P.O. Box 787 Hana, HI 96713 Dear Mr. Blumer-Buell: Comments on Muolea-Wallach Well (Well No. 4100-02) Thank you very much for your letter dated April 24, 2009 concerning environmental issues at Muolea in the Hana District. The captioned well has been properly permitted after a review by agencies responsible for environmental protection and historic preservation. These permits are administrative, as this is not a water management area and the well follows the Hawaii Well Construction and Pump Installation Standards (HWCPIS). Part of the HWCPIS and permitting process is the submittal of pump testing results, which will show aquifer impacts of pumping the well and may provide evidence of interaction with surface water. Standard permit conditions specify that well construction shall not adversely affect existing or future legal uses of water in the area, including any surface water or established instream flow standard. We are awaiting those test results, and our Commission on Water Resource Management (Commission) staff have promised to share the results with you like the copy of the application and the well and pump permits already sent to you. If desired, we can also send the agency comments received during the review process, which comprises the balance of the current file. The initial application also included the exemption from Special Management Area (SMA) permitting as originally approved by the County of Maui, Planning Department and a privately contracted archaeological survey (see both, attached). Our department does not handle other building permits for these properties, nor approvals of bed and breakfast operations. For your information, we understand that Michelle Cockett is no longer with Betsill Brothers. Thank you for supplying information concerning The Deadly Seaweed of Hana and the Muolea 2-Year Marine Resources Action Plan. You have also expressed concern about potential impacts of well pumping on both landward and seaward springs in the Muolea area. While the Water Code does not address marine resources nor the Endangered Species Act, part of our responsibility is to work in coordination with the Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR), which does have marine responsibilities. We are forwarding a copy of your information to DAR for their review and advice (memo attached). If you have access to the Hana Community Plan and its relevant concerns, your assistance in providing that .- Q Mr. John Blumer-Buell o Page 2 May 8, 2009 information is much appreciated. The Commission is further empowered to undertake other actions which may help remedy situations that occur: 1) filing a complaint for harm done concerning public water resources; 2), dispute resolution powers to sort out water resource disagreements, and 3) designation of a ground water management area and subsequent water use permits for reasonable-beneficial use. I am informed by our staff that the well driller has reported drilling through dry rock all the way to the basal water table, suggesting that Muolea area springs are not hydrologically connected; therefore, not likely to be affected. Pump tests should give us more information to resolve this issue. If pump tests show an impact on springs, the Commission can impose restrictions on pumping from the well. We have communicated with the driller, Will Steele of Wailani Drilling, Inc. and he is prepared to cooperate with your monitoring of springs. Perhaps your community can identify the springs of interest and measure any changes during the pump tests. Your own registered diversion may be metered to provide factual information. The requested 2,500 gpd withdrawal from this well falls within the County standard for individual parcel use, which is between 600 gpd per household to 3,000 gallons per acre for rural or large lot irrigation. We rely also on the County Water Use and Development Plans (WUDP), which are based on the Community Plans, to address the issues of appropriate well development sensitivity in any area. Maui County is currently in the process of engaging public review on these matters. If the Hana Community Plan addresses water development concerns, they should be reflected in the WUDP, but we did not receive Maui Department of Water Supply comments on this application. Further comments and questions are welcome. Please contact Charley Ice of our staff at (808) 587-0218 or toll free from Maui at 984-2400, extension 70218.

I would like to begin by repeating a statement I made in a previous email to Mr. Ice. That is, "I appreciate our conversations and your knowledge of the issues. I look forward to working with you to further identify the problems and find solutions". I am writing to intervene, if possible, or be an identified and consulted party in: the subject well issues BEFORE the granting of a pumping permit. I am a resident of Mu'olea and a member of the Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea Board of Directors. The Na Mamo 0 Mu' olea Board of Directors has concerns regarding the well drilling and possible impacts of pumping on resources at Mu'olea Point. However, the board has not met with a quorum to formally discuss the issues or take a formal position. Therefore, I am writing as a resident of Mu'olea and not expressing the position of Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea. Following is some background information for your consideration: 1) There was no notification of the residents and property owners of Mu'olea or Na Mamo 0 Mu' olea prior to the granting of any permits. The subject well is in the Special Management Area (SMA). I do not understand why a SMA permit was granted to a property adjoining an important natural, historical and cultural site without any public notification. There is an endangered species on the property adjoining the well site. Please read the attached article from Oceanus, ''The Deadly Seaweed of Hana". The property adjoining the well site was considered so unique and important that The Trust for Public Land, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the County of Maui and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs partnered to purchase the property. Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea are the caretakers of Mu'olea Point. Please read the Draft, January, 2009, "Mu'olea 2 Year Marine Resources Action Plan". o o o o Page 2 When I became aware of the well drilling I filed a Request for Service (RFS) with the County of Maui. I was surprised by the well drilling because I had previously been told the new neighbors were going to use rain catchment as their source of water. Maui County Inspector Charles Villalon called me to make inquiries about the property and drilling. Mter researching the situation he called to say the County of Maui granted a SMA permit, SM 5-20080359. However, he did not know what laws were applicable or what representations were made to the county in obtaining a building permit. He gave me the name of the County of Maui Planner that handled the SMA application. That planner is Jean Adams Nakamura. I left her messages repeatedly requesting copies of all documentation. She has never returned my calls. I am about to file a complaint with the County of Maui just to get those documents. Can I get copies of the documentation from you, including the building permit application? Mr. Villalon also gave me the name of the owner's representative for the SMA permit. That is Michelle Cockett, former county employee with enforcement, who now works for Betsill Brothers Construction. I have left her messages repeatedly. She has never returned my calls. Please address these concerns, including the applicable laws. Please send me your file on this well for my records. 2) Meeting in Mu'olea. At an unofficial meeting in Mu'olea the applicants well driller, apparently on behalf of the applicants, offered water to neighbors if they would install water pipes. I was not at the meeting, but initially received that information via email from a neighbor who did attend. At this point, with no public discussion, I oppose that idea. I also oppose the well being used for commercial purposes such as a bed and breakfast or transient vacation rental (TVR) operation. I also oppose the well being used for the purposes of subdividing to create another lot or lots. These, and additional issues and possible impacts should all be addressed before granting any pumping permit. The Hana Community Plan, which was adopted as a Maui County ordinance in 1994, supports my concerns. IT you would like The Hana Community Plan language, I will compile that information for you. The proposal to pump 2,500 gallons is excessive. The County of Maui uses approximately a 500-1000 gallon per day estimate for single family residences. The applicants have stated they are going to be part time residents. Mr. Ice suggested Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea should monitor the springs on Mu' olea Point for any impacts. I agree. There needs to be baseline information and a plan BEFORE pumping the well. I look forward to setting up an acceptable and legal methodology. It should be noted that Fawn Helekahi spoke with the well drillers and some o o o Page 3 members of the Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea Board. I do not speak for her, but think she has raised some important issues. She spoke of her kanaka maoli rights referencing Royal Patents. I gave her a copy of Article 12, Section 7 of the Hawai'i State Constitution regarding ''Traditional and Customary Rights". She was already aware of that information. 3) My family, and others, are beneficiaries of a spring around a half mile mauka of our property. Our property is located a few hundred yards from the well site. The spring was recognized as a use for certain properties by the County of Maui as part of a subdivision approval process in the 1950's. I registered the use with the state in the late 1980's or early 1990's. I would not expect an impact on the spring flow from pumping. However, I am mentioning it at this time to be part of the record in case we notice a change in the flow of the spring. The flow of the spring has not changed in the thirty five years we have cared for it. I have been told by "old timers" the spring flow was constant for over a hundred years. Please contact me next week to follow up with the requested information, including the well pumping permit process. This is an URGENT request to be part of the process before any pumping permit is granted. I kindly ask you to inform me of my rights to intervene or become an identified and consulted party.

The story of how an unusual molecule was isolated and finally identified is a case study of the winding, branching, unpredictable footpath known as scientific research. Two decades ago, little was known about the origin of ciguatera, a human illness that can result from the ingestion of certain coral reef fishes. Researchers had noted that herbivorous fishes became ciguat~ricbefore carnivorous fishes, a fact that strongly su.ggested the causative agent, . ciguatoxin, was of algal origin and was being passed on to carnivorous fishes through the food chain.

Box 787, Hana, Hawaii 96713 Telephone 248-8972, Email [email protected] April 24, 2009 Commission on Water Resource Management Laura H. Thielen, Chairperson Attention: Charley Ice P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, Hawaii 96809 Sent Via Certified Mail and Email Subject: Well Number 4100-02 at Mu'olea, Hana, Maui Aloha Chair Thielen, Board Members and Mr. Ice, This is a follow up to conversations I have had with Mr. Ice. I would like to begin by repeating a statement I made in a previous email to Mr. Ice. That is, "I appreciate our conversations and your knowledge of the issues. I look forward to working with you to further identify the problems and find solutions". I am writing to intervene, if possible, or be an identified and consulted party in the subject well issues BEFORE the granting of a pumping permit. I am a resident of Mu'olea and a member of the Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea Board of Directors. The Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea Board of Directors has concerns regarding the well drilling and possible impacts of pumping on resources at Mu'olea Point. However, the board has not met with a quorum to formally discuss the issues or take a formal position. Therefore, I am writing as a resident of Mu'olea and not expressing the position of Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea. Following is some background information for your consideration: 1) There was no notification of the residents and property owners of Mu'olea or Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea prior to the gra~ting of any permits. The subject well is in the Special Management Area (SMA). I do not understand why a SMA permit was granted to a property adjoining an important natural, historical and cultural site without any public notification. There is an endangered species on the property adjoining the well site. Please read the attached article from Oceanus, "The Deadly Seaweed of Hana". The property adjoining the well site was considered so unique and important that The Trust for Public Land, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the County of Maui and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs partnered to purchase the o o property. Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea are the caretakers of Mu'olea Point. Please read the Draft, January, 2009, "Mu'olea 2 Year Marine Resources Action Plan". Page 2 When I became aware of the well drilling I filed a Request for Service (RFS) with the County of Maui. I was surprised by the well drilling because I had previously been told the new neighbors were going to use rain catchment as their source of water. Maui County Inspector Charles Villalon called me to make inquiries about the property and drilling. After researching the situation he called to say the County of Maui granted a SMA permit, SM 5-20080359. However, he did not know what laws were applicable or what representations were made to the county in obtaining a building permit. He gave me the name of the County of Maui Planner that handled the SMA application. That planner is Jean Adams Nakamura. I left her messages repeatedly requesting copies of all documentation. She has never returned my calls. I am about to file a complaint with the County of Maui just to get those documents. Can I get copies of the documentation from you, including the building permit application? Mr. Villalon also gave me the name of the owner's representative for the SMA permit. That is Michelle Cockett, former county employee with enforcement, who now works for Betsill Brothers Construction. I have left her messages repeatedly. She has never returned my calls. Please address these concerns, including the applicable laws. Please send me your file on this well for my records. 2) Meeting in Mu'olea. At an unofficial meeting in Mu'olea the applicants well driller, apparently on behalf of the applicants, offered water to neighbors if they would install water pipes. I was not at the meeting, but initially received that information via email from a neighbor who did attend. At this point, with no public discussion, I oppose that idea. I also oppose the well being used for commercial purposes such as a bed and breakfast or transient vacation rental (TVR) operation. I also oppose the well being used for the purposes of subdividing to create another lot or lots. These, and additional issues and possible impacts should all be addressed before granting any pumping permit. The Hana Community Plan, which was adopted as a Maui County ordinance in 1994, supports my concerns. If you would like The Hana Community Plan language, I will compile that information for you. The proposal to pump 2,500 gallons is excessive. The County of Maui uses approximately a 500-1000 gallon per day estimate for single family residences. The applicants have stated they are going to be part time residents. Mr. Ice suggested Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea should monitor the springs on Mu'olea Point for any impacts. I agree. There needs to be baseline information and a plan BEFORE pumping the well. I look forward to setting up an acceptable and legal methodology. It should be noted that Fawn Helekahi spoke with the well drillers and some Page 3 o o members of the Na Mamo 0 Mu'olea Board. I do not speak for her, but think she has raised some important issues. She spoke of her kanaka maoli rights referencing Royal Patents. I gave her a copy of Article 12, Section 7 of the Hawai'i State Constitution regarding "Traditional and Customary Rights". She was already aware of that information. 3) My family, and others, are beneficiaries of a spring around a half mile mauka of our property. Our property is located a few hundred yards from the well site. The spring was recognized as a use for certain properties by the County of Maui as part of a subdivision approval process in the 1950's. I registered the use with the state in the late 1980's or early 1990's. I would not expect an impact on the spring flow from pumping. However, I am mentioning it at this time to be part of the record in case we notice a change in the flow of the spring. The flow of the spring has not changed in the thirty five years we have cared for it. I have been told by "old-timers" the spring flow was constant for over a hundred years. Please contact me next week to follow up with the requested information, including the well pumping permit process. This is an URGENT request to be part of the process before any pumping permit is granted. I kindly ask you to inform me of my rights to intervene or become an identified and consulted party.

RESULTS Once the lab provides you with the test results, you will be in a better position to determine if your well water is safe to drink or what contaminant you need to treat for.

Box 523 Puunene, HI 96784 Dear Mr. Steele: Well Construction/Pump Installation Permit Application for Well No. 4100-02 We acknowledge receipt, on January 20,2009, of your completed Well Construction/Pump Installation permit application and filing fee for the Muolea-Wallach (Well No. 4100-02). You can expect your application to be processed within ninety (90) days from this date. For your information, the attached table describes the process, responsible parties, and deadline requirements for drilling or modifying a well and installing, modifying, or replacing a pump. By this acceptance letter, we are also notifying the well operator/landowner that water may not be pumped for purposes other than testing until the certificate of well construction/pump installation completion letter is issued to the well operator and landowner. Additionally, the permitted pump capacity described on the pump installation permit may be reduced in the event that the pump test does not support the capacity. No certificate of pump installation will be issued until the Commission has determined that the pump capacity will not have adverse effects on the aquifer, other nearby wells, or streams. In other words, you may need to remove the pump and install a smaller pump at the Commission's discretion before you can withdraw water for purposes other than testing. If you have any questions about your permit application, please contact Charley Ice of the Commission staff at 587-0218 or toll-free at 984-2400 (Maui), extension 70218. Sincerely, Wtf~tUV4L C.

I"NrpNting the Past, Whlle Planning tile Futllre" I I MANAGEMENTS~Y I At the request of Mr. and Mrs. Lesile Wallach, Archaeological Services Hawaii (ASH) LLC, of Wailuku, conducted an archaeological inventory survey ofTMK 2-1-5:007, a l.53-acre parcel I located in Mu' olea ahupua 'a, Hana District, Maui Island. The objective of the survey was to satisfy historic preservation regulatory review requirements of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, State Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD), as stated in Hawaii I Administrative Rules, Title 13, DLNR, Subtitle 13, Chapter 276 "Rules Governing Standards for I Inventory Survey and Reports." The surface survey identified one site consisting of two features, a rock terrace which may have I functioned as a boundary for a roadway, and a foundation for a historic outbuilding. The rock terrace alignment was designated SIHP 50-50-17-5912, Feature 1, and assessed as significant I under Criterion "0" of the Hawaii Register of Historic Places. The historic building foundation was designated Feature 2, and assessed as significant under Criterion "0" of the Hawaii Register I of Historic Places. I Subsurface testing consisted of seven systematically placed backhoe trenches (TR) excavated throughout the project area. All seven trenches, except for TR #1, were negative for historic I properties. Trench 1 recovered subsurface architecture related to Site 5912 Feature 1, the rock terrace alignment. I Results of the current inventory survey provided sufficient data to assess the significance of both features from Site 5912; thus, no further work is recommended for these features. Interestingly, it I was determined that both features appear to be associated with the habitation site (SIHP 50-50- 17-5498) recorded on the adjoining parcel (TMK 2-1-5:006). This habitation site is referred to as I the Drummond House (pers.comm. Mr. Les Wallach). These two adjoining lots were probably I part of a much larger parcel during the historic period.
