Historic Resources Technical Report Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project Historic Resources Technical Report Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project August 15, 2008 Prepared for: City and County of Honolulu Preface This technical report supports the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared for the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project. It provides additional detail and information as it relates to: • Methodology used for the analysis • Applicable regulations • Results of the technical analysis • Proposed mitigation • Coordination and consultation (as appropriate) • References • Model output (as appropriate) • Other information/data As described in the Draft EIS, the Locally Preferred Alternative, called the “Full Project,” is an approximate 30-mile corridor from Kapolei to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa with a connection to Waikīkī. However, currently available funding sources are not sufficient to fund the Full Project. Therefore, the focus of the Draft EIS is on the “First Project,” a fundable approximately 20-mile section between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center. The First Project is identified as “the Project” for the purpose of the Draft EIS. This technical report documents the detailed analysis completed for the Full Project, which includes the planned extensions, related transit stations, and construction phasing. The planned extensions and related construction planning have not been fully evaluated in the Draft EIS and are qualitatively discussed in the Cumulative Effects section of the Draft EIS as a foreseeable future project(s). Once funding is identified for these extensions, a full environmental evaluation will be completed in a separate environmental study (or studies), as appropriate. Figure 1-3 through Figure 1-6 (in Chapter 1, Background) show the proposed Build Alternatives and transit stations, including the areas designated as planned extensions.
