  • Hawaii's Implementation Plan for Polluted Runoff Control Page 1-1
    CHAPTER 1 OVERVIEW AND ISLAND ISSUES It has become increasingly clear that surface and groundwater in Hawaii, as well as the rest of the nation, has serious quality problems. It has been nearly thirty years since the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (commonly called the Clean Water Act) was first authorized to start addressing the water quality problems of the Nation. The early focus of the Clean Water Act was to control or reduce “point source” discharges. Point sources are typically end-of-pipe discharges from factories or sewage treatment plants. Hawaii has had its share of point source problems such as sewage treatment plants discharging close to nearshore waters and areas with poor circulation. With increased management and monitoring of point source discharges, water quality did improve locally as well as nationally. Although there has been noted improvement and some waterbodies may be considered excellent in quality, overall water quality can be described in a range of slightly impaired to severely impaired. The reason these waters remain impaired is due to nonpoint source pollution, also known as polluted runoff. Nationally, nonpoint source pollution (NPS) has been recognized as the greatest remaining water quality issue. Hawaii also recognizes that NPS is the greatest threat to water quality in our islands. This recognition comes not only from water quality officials and local scientists but also from the public. The Hawaii Environmental Risk Ranking Project (1994) identified nonpoint source pollution and its impact on stream and coastal water quality as the issue of most concern to communities. Presently there are eighteen waterbodies identified statewide that consistently do not meet state water quality standards due to nonpoint source pollution.

  • Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging and Beach Restoration Haleʻiwa, Island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
    Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor Maintenance Dredging and Beach Restoration Haleʻiwa, Island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi SECTION 1122 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT (WRDA) OF 2016 BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL (BUDM) DRAFT INTEGRATED FEASIBILITY REPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT November 2020 Prepared by: United States Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District This page left blank intentionally. Executive Summary This report presents the evaluation of beneficial uses for dredged material resulting from the routine maintenance dredging of the federal channel at Haleʻiwa Small Boat Harbor. Beneficial use of dredged material can provide benefits to the navigation, coastal storm risk management, recreation, and environmental missions. Despite general perceptions of the pristine sand beaches of Hawaiʻi, sand is relatively scarce. The study area contains one of the most visited beaches outside of Waikiki, Haleʻiwa Beach Park, and therefore is a high-value opportunity for receipt of beach grade sand dredged in accordance with authority granted under Section 1122 of Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016, as amended. This study evaluated alternatives for beneficial use based on economic, engineering, environmental and other factors. The Recommended Plan maximized both economic and ecosystem restoration benefits making it the National Economic Development (NED) Plan and the National Ecosystem Restoration (NER) Plan. Beneficial use of dredged material for the purposes of beach restoration is strongly supported by local stakeholders including the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands (OCCL) and Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation (DOBOR), as well as the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation.

  • 7. Affected Environment
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT/DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN 7. Affected Environment This section describes the affected environment across Hawai‘i in general, followed by a detailed description of the affected environment at specific locations proposed for incorporation into the sanctuary. The region of interest (ROI) or area of potential affect includes all lands and waters within and adjacent to the sanctuary in the populated Hawaiian Islands. There are currently sanctuary areas that border Hawai‘i, Kaho‘olawe, Maui, Lāna‘i, Moloka‘i, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i. The sanctuary is proposing boundary changes on the north shores of O‘ahu and Kaua‘i, as well as the inclusion of new sanctuary boundary around Ni‘ihau. 7.1. Biophysical Environment 7.1.1. Habitats The current and proposed sanctuary boundaries include a wide range of sub-tropical marine habitat types including coastal and shoreline areas, estuaries, seagrass, sandy, hard and rubble habitat, coral reefs, and deep ocean. These habitats support diverse marine species, which are presented in more detail in the next section. This section provides an overview of the primary habitat types within the current and proposed sanctuary boundaries. The primary threats to habitats are discussed in Section 6.1.4., such as coral bleaching, coral disease, vessel grounding, and pollution. For the populated Hawaiian Islands, NOAA mapped 32 distinct habitat types (i.e., 4 major and 14 detailed geomorphological structure classes; 7 major and 3 detailed biological cover types) within 13 nearshore zones using satellite imagery (Battista et al. 2007).

  • Appendix A: Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines
    Appendix A: Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines Appendix A Review of Wastewater Facility Regulations, Standards and Guidelines 1.1 General Wastewater Facility and Design The operation of new or existing wastewater treatment facilities are strictly governed by public and environmental health regulations in order to protect the water quality and water uses of the state of Hawai’i. The 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA) was established to aim at reducing the pollutant discharges to waterways, finance municipal wastewater treatment facilities, and manage polluted runoff. Under the CWA various public health regulations were developed to govern current water quality standards and treated wastewater effluent limitations. The State of Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) promulgated the following public health regulations under the Title 11 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules: Chapter 23 – Underground Injection Control, Chapter 54 – Water Quality Standards, Chapter 55 – Water Pollution Control, and Chapter 62 – Wastewater Systems. These regulations provide for control and monitoring of wastewater facilities, treatment and disposal, water quality and pollution, and the impact it has on the public health and the environment. Based on Section 208 – Areawide Waste Treatment Management of the CWA, the City and City and County of Honolulu, with the assistance from the DOH, developed the CWA Section 208 Water Quality Management Plans. The plans were initially approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1979 and 1980, and updated in 1993 to include descriptions of the Federal, State, and County roles in managing water pollution. Also based on the CWA, The Federal Water Pollution Control Act provides for water pollution control activities in the public health service of the Federal Security Agency and in the Federal Works Agency.

Allen Tom1, Andrew Rossiter2, Tapani Vouri3, Melanie Ide4 1NOAA, Kihei, Hawaii. 2Waikiki Aquarium, Honolulu, Hawaii. 3Maui Ocean Center, Maaleaa, Hawaii. 4Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii Track V. New Technologies in Conservation Research and Management Abstract Directors from the Waikiki Aquarium (Dr. Andrew Rossiter), Maui Ocean Center (Tapani Vouri) and the Bishop Museum (Melanie Ide) will discuss their programs public conservation programs and what the future holds for these institutions both during and after COVID-19. Panelists will discuss: How these institutions survived during COVID-19, what they will be doing in the future to ensure their survival and how they promote and support conservation efforts in Hawai'i. HCC is an excellent opportunity to showcase how Hawaii's largest aquaria and museums play a huge role in building awareness of the public in our biocultural diversity both locally and globally, and how the vicarious experience of biodiversity that is otherwise rarely or never seen by the normal person can be appreciated, documented, and researched, so we know the biology, ecology and conservation needs of our native biocultural diversity. Questions about how did COVID-19 affect these amazing institutions and how has COVID-19 forced an internal examination and different ways of working in terms of all of the in-house work that often falls to the side against fieldwork, and how it strengthened the data systems as well as our virtual expression of biodiversity work when physical viewing became hampered.

    Habitat Use of the Anahulu River, Oahu, Hawaii, by Hawaiian Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Marc R. Rice1, Laura M.R. Jim, Joanne Pettigrew and George H. Balazs INTRODUCTION: The Hawaiian green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a genetically distinct population that resides exclusively within the confines of the 2400 km long Hawaiian archipelago (Dutton et al. 2008; Frey et al. 2013). The species was listed as Threatened under the United States Endangered Species Act in 1978 and the population has steadily increased over the last 40 years at an estimated growth of 5.4% per year (Balazs, et al. 2015). Where once seeing a green turtle in the coastal waters of the main Hawaiian Islands was a rarity, today they are commonly seen and, indeed, turtle viewing is a very popular tourist activity. The Hawaiian green turtle protection and concurrent population increase has meant that we find green turtles in areas and environments where they were not previously seen. An example of adaptive invasion of unusual habitats is found at Kiholo Bay on the Big island where green turtles migrate up a 75 m long shallow canal to enter old Hawaii brackish water fish ponds (loko iʻa) to feed and rest (Lee et al., 2014). Another example is on Oahu where turtles pass through drainage channels/culverts to access tidal ponds where they feed and rest on the west shore of the island. On the north shore of Oahu is another habitat where green turtles utilize an area that is adjacent to their normal shoreline habitat, the Anahulu River near Hale’iwa Harbor, Hale’iwa, Hawaii (21.5940170 N, 158.1034850 W).
