Project Location This study addresses seven, large analysis areas: Pearl Harbor Landing, O‘ahu, Kāne‘ohe Landing, O‘ahu, West Moloka‘i, South Moloka‘i, Lāna‘i Landing, West Maui, Kahului, Maui. Land Jurisdiction Various (Federal, State, County, Private) Agencies This study may be used to facilitate consultation with federal, state and county agencies as well as Native Hawaiian organizations and other concerned organizations. Project Description The Interisland Wind project proposes to send up to 400 megawatts of renewable wind energy from Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i via undersea cable to O‘ahu (and Maui). The project would play an important part in helping to achieve the Hawai‘i Clean Energy Initiative goal of 70% clean energy for electricity and ground transportation by 2030. The State of Hawai‘i, First Wind Hawai‘i, Castle & Cooke and Hawaiian Electric Company are committed to working collaboratively with the public on the project. Possible impact on historic or cultural properties is one of many concerns being taken into consideration in cable route planning. Project Acreage 23,023 acres (approximately 36 square miles) Area of Potential The area of potential effect is anticipated to be confined to the Effect (APE) and immediate area of land alteration associated with the cable landing Survey Acreage enterprise and integration into electrical grids. Historic This is intended as primarily a planning document. This study may be Preservation used in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Division, the Regulatory Context Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Island Burial Councils and/or other concerned Native Hawaiian organizations and/or other concerned historic preservation organizations. Fieldwork Effort There was no fieldwork component to this study. Mitigation More detailed cultural resource management work is indicated as the Recommendation cable landing area site selection process moves forward. This will probably include one or more archaeological inventory surveys and one or more archaeological monitoring programs.
