Stearns, District Engineer Department of the Army Honolulu District Corps of Engineers Building 230 Fort Shafter, Hawaii 96858 Dear Colonel Stearns: PODCO-O 1506-SD Kahaluu Fishpond Renovations Kaha 1uu, Oahu We have briefly reviewed the above cited.public notice regarding the request for a permit to perform certain renovation/restoration work at Kahaluu Fishpond. Several concerns have come to our atte~tion which you may wish to consider prior to issuance of the requested permit. We note that the Kahaluu Fishpond is listed on the National Register of . Historic Places. From the description of the project provided, it appears that due to the construction which has already been performed (without benefit of a permit) as well as the proposed new construction, that much of the historic character of the fishpond may essentially be destroyed. Because of its listing on the National register it seems appropriate that a very careful study of the .' rationale for permiting such extensive and irreversible modification of this structure be made prior to granting the permit. From the economic and design viewpoint, the magnitude of the.bulkheads already constructed and being proposed seem excessive for the stated mullet aquaculture requirements. The economic return on mullet production would not appear sufficient to justify the capital expen~e of so massive a pond modification. Are any other uses being considered for the pond such as eventual marina development? .. We would be interested in your analysis of these questions. Perhaps the requirement of a more extensive assessment or EIS should be con~idered to assure adequate public review of the impact of this project. Yours very truly/1 . ~~.(d.:' 1;. ~ cc: Jacquelin Miller Doak C. Cox eft 00-.L4 Hank Banner Steve Smith AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER /1 ') Lj L/.

FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WAIKIKI BEACH MAINTENANCE Honolulu, Hawaii May 2010 Prepared for: State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources P.O. Box 621 Honolulu, HI 96813 Prepared by: Sea Engineering, Inc. Makai Research Pier Waimanalo, HI 96795 SEI Job No. 25172 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) WAIKIKI BEACH MAINTENANCE, HONOLULU, HAWAII Description of the Proposed Action The project site is located on Waikiki Beach, along the shoreline of Mamala Bay on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The shoreline proposed for beach maintenance extends approximately 1,700 linear feet from the west end of the Kuhio Beach crib walls to the existing groin between the Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikiki hotels. Since 1985 the shoreline has been chronically eroding and receding at an average annual rate of 1.5 feet. The purpose of the project is to restore and enhance the recreational and aesthetic benefits provided by the beach, as well as maintaining lateral access along the shore. The proposed project will include the following primary components: The recovery of up to 24,000 cubic yards (cy) of sand from deposits located 1,500 to 3,000 feet offshore in a water depth of about 10 to 20 feet. Pumping the sand to an onshore dewatering site to be located in an enclosed basin within the east Kuhio Beach crib wall. Transport of the sand along the shore and placement to the design beach profile. The removal of two old deteriorated concrete sandbag groin structures located at the east end of the project area.

Volume IX, No. 42 Waikīkī Improvement Association October 16—22, 2008 Waikīkī Wiki Wiki Wire 280 Beach Walk Revised Plans Presented Revised plans for 280 Beach Walk were presented at the Waikīkī Neighborhood Board meeting on Tuesday, October 14 held at Waikīkī Community Center. Located at Waikīkī’s west side, the retail development will being enhanced vitality to the heart of Honolulu’s recreational center. In immediate proximity of Ft. DeRussy, the prominent retail storefronts of Kalākaua Avenue, Lewers Street and the new Trump Tower, this project will contribute to an emerging trend of redevelopment that defines a key gateway experience for Honolulu’s most active pedestrian district. 280 Beach Walk will add 31,500 square feet of world-class, lifestyle retail program. Pedestrians will be greeted by a building composed of a series of two-story storefronts, each accentuated by a dramatic glazed-tile roof form that recalls the street-oriented building traditions of Hawai‘i’s earliest places of commerce. 280 Beach Walk will be the first LEED certified retail complex in Waikīkī. The thoughtful design is based on a pedestrian model that brings people landscaping and the build environment together in balance. Energy and water conservations, reduced pollution and low environmental impact materials have all been considered in the design which incorporates some of the following features: rooftop solar photovoltaic panels, state-of-the-art irrigation system, water-efficient fixtures, energy efficient HVAC systems that avoid harmful refrigerants.., low VOC emitting materials bike racks with tenant changing room and shower and land-use efficient underground parking. The Waikīkī Neighborhood Board unanimously supported the 280 Beach Walk project.

September 21, 2020 SUBJECT: Standard Individual Permit
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, HONOLULU DISTRICT FORT SHAFTER, HAWAII 96858-5440 September 21, 2020 SUBJECT: Standard Individual Permit Modification for Waikiki Beach Nourishment and Maintenance Project, DA File No. POH-2009-00345 Samuel J. Lemmo Administrator State of Hawaii, Department of Land and Natural Resources Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands Kalanimoku Building 1151 Punchbowl Street, Room 131 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Dear Mr. Lemmo: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Honolulu District (Corps) received a letter dated August 12, 2020 from your agent, Sea Engineering, Inc., requesting to modify Department of the Army (DA) Permit No. POH-2009-00345. Your request proposes to increase the volume of sand that would be dredged from previously designated ocean recovery areas, pumped and transported via pipeline, and placed on Waikiki Beach between the Royal Hawaiian groin and Kuhio Beach stub groin. The purpose of the Waikiki Beach Nourishment and Maintenance project is to establish and maintain a reasonable beach width that supports recreational opportunities for the public. As you know, the original DA permit was issued on April 29, 2011 and authorized the initial beach nourishment using 24,000 cubic yards (cy) of sand that was hydraulically pumped from nearshore borrow areas onto Kuhio Beach Park for dewatering prior to placement on Waikiki Beach. The DA permit also authorized a subsequent sand re- nourishment event to maintain the beach width (position) that was established by the initial project implemented in 2012. Based upon projected beach recession rates at the time of the DA permit issuance, sand re-nourishment was estimated to be needed at Year 10 and would require the placement of 12,000 cy of additional sand to account for natural beach recession.
