McCOY EDITED BY DAVID DUFFY The PCSU is a cooperative program including the University of Hawai'i and the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior 2005 TRE LANDS OF HIAM: An Archaeological Overview and Assessment of K&laupapa National Historical Park, Moloka'i Island, Hawai'i Mark D. McCoy Archaeolcgical Research Facility, 2547 Charming Way, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720 Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit, University of Hawai'i And National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior Technical Report 135 2005 Edited by David Duffy --This overview and assessment report focuses on previous, current, and proposed archaeological research in the Kalaupapa National Historical Park (NHP) on Moloka'i Island, Hawai'i. The park is the home of the historical Kalawao (A.D. 1866-1900) and Kalaupapa (A.D. 1900-present) settlements for people with leprosy, or Hansen's disease as its known today. The report: centers on projects dealing with the substantial archaeological record .preserved in the park dating to the early historic (A.D. 1866-1778) and prehistoric (A.D. 1778-1200) eras. The goal of the report is to provide park managers and others a succinct smry of previous and current archaeological research, an assessment of the results, and recornendations for additional. research and management. Kalaupapa NHP has a history of archaeology dominated by surveys. An estimated 6.4 % of the park has been in~ensivelysurveyed (690 acres/279.5 ha) with an additional '7.6 % surveyed at the reconnaissance level (820 acres/332 ha). A total of 616 sites have been recorded, some including hundreds of small features. Overall site density is high and the st;ate of preservation of sites is excellent. There is extensive evidence of modification of the landscape for agriculture during the prehistoric and historic eras. Kaupikiawa Cave (50-60-03-312) has been of particular interest to archaeologists due to what the deposits inside may tell us about the prehistoric era. Archaeological excavations have been rare; however, current evidence suggests a continuous record of human occupation for the past 800 years. Permanent settlements may have been first established in the Waikolu Valley and somewhat later on the Kalaupapa Peninsula and other parts of the park. The results of past archaeological projects are synthesized in the text and presented in detail in Appendix I. Most projects reviewed have been instigated and funded by the National Park Service (NPS). Other projects such as historic resource studies, archival research, and natural resources studies are also discussed since they have the potential to provide important supporting, independent lines of evidence to interpret. the archaeological record. Recent academic research on the historic era at Kalaupapa is reviewed. A total of 12 actions/projects are recomended for improved cultural resource management. The report summarizes the goals, costs, benefits, and priority of each of these actions/projects. The hiring of an archaeologist at the park is strongly recommended. Other recomnendations include developing a park-specific research design, site stabilization, public infomation, cooperative research, an archaeological base map, database development, reconnaissance arid intensive surveys, archaeology of the early historic era, paleoenvironmental research, and site monitoring. Other potential future research themes include developing the chronology of hurran occupation, origins and development of the Kalaupapa Field System, and the rise of the Ko'olau Polity.

There are a number ofland use decisions and developments that can greatly affect the safety of the airport zones and flight patterns. Some of these include reflective surfaces Qike building facades and solar panels), zip lines, communications towers, wind turbines, other structure nearing 200 feet or higher, and wildlife habitats. As directed by the Airport Division, we should be looking for any ofthe above mentioned hazards that are proposed within 5 miles of an airport. Our GIS staffwill be adding a layer into the GIS system noting this 5 mile radius. lf we receive an application with a questionable hazard, we should report it to the HOOT Airport Division and require the applicant to provide a letter of no effect or approval with conditions from that division. Reflective surfaces and tower like structures are relatively easy to identi1Y, but wildlife habitats may DOt be as obvious.

  • Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.
