Environmental Impact Statement; Maui, Hawaii
AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA, in coordination with the Hawaii Department of
Transportation (HDOT), is issuing this notice to invite comment and
advise the public that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be
prepared to study potential improvements to the Honoapiilani Highway
(State Route No. 30) between Ukumehame and Launiupoko in West Maui.
Improvements are needed to provide a reliable transportation facility
that would not be inundated by the predicted 3.2-foot sea level rise
and undermined by coastal erosion. The FHWA, as the Federal lead
agency, and HDOT as the project sponsor and joint lead agency, will
prepare an EIS for the Honoapiilani Highway Improvements Project,
Ukumehame to Launiupoko, covering the 6-mile segment between
[[Page 71393]]
milepost 11 in the vicinity of Papalaua Wayside Park in Ukumehame
(southeastern terminus) and milepost 17 in Launiupoko, where
Honoapiilani Highway currently connects with the existing southern
terminus of the Lahaina Bypass (northwestern terminus of the project).
DATES: Comments must be received by December 31, 2022. Written comments
received by the submittal deadline will be published in the Draft EIS.
Public meetings will be held on December 14, 2022, and December 15,
2022. Meetings will be virtual and/or in-person. Please refer to the
project website for meeting information. For public scoping information

and local laws and regulations.
1. Project History
On June 7, 2007, FHWA published a NOI for an EIS in the Federal
Register (72 FR 31649) to realign Honoapiilani Highway in West Maui.
Project objectives for that proposal, involving a longer 11-mile
segment of Honoapiilani Highway, were to increase roadway capacity,
safety, and reliability. In addition, the previous Federally funded
proposal sought to address the eroding shoreline between Maalaea on the
southern end of West Maui and Launiupoko. However, the EIS was never
completed, and FHWA rescinded the NOI on June 5, 2020 (85 FR 34712),
citing the difficult terrain and the estimated high project
construction cost.
In contrast with that rescinded project, HDOT's current proposal is
a more focused project to address a shorter, 6-mile segment of the
highway, which does not include the areas of steep terrain that
previously proved to be cost prohibitive. The currently proposed
project has been awarded a United States Department of Transportation
(U.S. DOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and
Equity (RAISE) Grant to assist with funding. The RAISE Grant funding
does not predetermine the alternative selection.
In addition to the standard cardinal direction terms north, south,
east, and west, this NOI uses common local naming conventions such as
mauka/makai (towards the mountains/ocean) which correspond to generally
easterly/westerly directions in this project area, the pali (cliff, but
also refers to a specific place of steep topography south of the
project area), and West Maui place names, such as Lahaina (a town to
the north of the project area). Additional project background, maps,
and information to support the following NOI sections are provided in
the Supplementary NOI Document.
2. Preliminary Purpose and Need
Public input received prior to developing this NOI supports the
primary purpose of this project, which is to provide a reliable
transportation facility in West Maui and improve Honoapiilani Highway's
resilience by reducing the highway's vulnerability to coastal hazards.
Specifically, the project is intended to address existing coastal
erosion and flooding, as well as future coastal erosion and flooding
caused by anticipated sea level rise, as delineated by the Hawaii
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission (HCCC)'s Sea Level
Rise Exposure Area (SLR-XA), along the stretch of highway from
Ukumehame to Launiupoko, approximately milepost 11 to milepost 17.
Areas within the SLR-XA boundary, including Honoapiilani Highway, are
considered exposed and potentially vulnerable to sea level rise. The
3.2-foot SLR-XA encroaches on roughly four (4) miles out of the six (6)
miles of the existing highway in the project area. Therefore, the
primary purpose of the project is to reduce the highway's exposure to
the SLR-XA, where feasible. Secondary objectives include: (1) Provide
Regional Transportation System Linkages that Support the Safe Movement
of People and Goods, and (2) Conform with Regional Land Use and
Transportation Plans. The project preliminary Purpose and Need, along
with secondary objectives, and the range of reasonable alternatives may
be modified, based on public input and interagency coordination during
the NEPA review.
Highway service disruptions are expected to increase as the
frequency and magnitude of flood occurrences are exacerbated by climate
change and sea level rise. HCCC's SLR-XA boundary delineates the
statewide footprint where passive flooding, annual high wave flooding,
and coastal erosion has been modeled for the 0.5-foot, 1.1-foot, 2.0-
foot, and 3.2-foot sea level rise (SLR) scenarios for the year 2100.
Any references to the SLR-XA boundary throughout project documentation
assumes the 3.2-foot SLR scenario unless otherwise noted. Areas and
assets, including Honoapiilani Highway, within the SLR-XA boundary are
considered exposed and potentially vulnerable to SLR. Therefore, the
primary purpose of the project is to avoid the SLR-XA where feasible.
The FHWA and HDOT will determine feasibility by considering basic
design and engineering limitations as described
[[Page 71394]]
in the Alternatives Screening Criteria section of the Supplementary NOI
Document. Where highway improvements cannot be conducted entirely
beyond the SLR-XA, HDOT may seek design solutions to elevate the
highway by a height to be determined by technical evaluations conducted
as part of this NEPA review.
Although we know that Honoapiilani Highway is vulnerable to
flooding and coastal erosion, there may be other reasons to improve
road conditions. Agencies and the public are invited to comment on the
Purpose and Need. The FHWA and HDOT will finalize the Purpose and Need
after the public scoping review period is complete. The Draft EIS will
present supporting documentation for the finalized Purpose and Need.
Please see the scoping comment period deadline in the DATES section of
this NOI.
3. Preliminary Description of Project Alternatives
The proposed action is anticipated to include improvements to
Honoapiilani Highway for six (6) miles from Papalaua Wayside Park in
Ukumehame to the Lahaina Bypass in Launiupoko. Alternatives include the
No-Build Alternative and multiple Build Alternatives. The Supplementary
NOI Document describes alternatives screening or evaluation criteria,
which will be used to filter and prioritize a reasonable number of
Build Alternatives to analyze in the Draft EIS. Agencies and the public
are invited to comment on the project alternatives and screening
criteria. The FHWA and HDOT may modify project alternatives and
screening or evaluation criteria based on public scoping input received
during the comment period associated with this notice. See below for
the range of alternatives currently under consideration.
Build Alternatives
The proposed Build Alternatives are based on alternatives that were
proposed in the Maui County 2005 Pali to Puamana Parkway Master Plan,
which examined possible realignments of Honoapiilani Highway between
Ukumehame and Launiupoko. Early scoping meetings and exchanges
conducted in the first half of 2022 with Native Hawaiian descendants of
Olowalu, Ukumehame, and Lahaina, as well as developers and landowners,
and Maui County staff have yielded input critical to refining these
alternatives. Adjustments were made with specific consideration for
natural resources (water, wetlands, terrain) and the human environment
(land use, ownership, cultural and archaeological resources). Build
Alternatives 1 through 4 are presented below. The Supplementary NOI
Document contains maps and additional information on the alternatives.
For portions of alignments that remain within the SLR-XA boundary, the
FHWA and HDOT will conduct additional evaluations to determine the
depths of inundation at those locations and appropriate design
solutions, such as whether the road should be elevated.
The Supplementary NOI Document also describes other alternatives
that were previously considered but have not been retained for
consideration in the EIS either because they do not meet the
preliminary Purpose and Need or they had been eliminated due to
technical challenges, such as drilling a tunnel through the pali
(cliff) or constructing an ocean causeway.
Build Alternative 1
Build Alternative 1 was adapted from the Maui County Pali to
Puamana Parkway 2005 coastal or makai concept. A key element of this
alternative is to maximize use of the existing Honoapiilani Highway
right-of-way (ROW), particularly through Launiupoko and a portion of
Olowalu. The Olowalu section of this Alternative was modified to move
the Highway further inland near Kapaiki Place neighborhood on Olowalu
Village Road (shown on Figure 1) to avoid cultural resources based on
recommendations from the community during early scoping meetings. As
the alignment proceeds toward Ukumehame Stream, it stays primarily
within County and State-owned properties. At Ukumehame Stream, the
alignment returns closer to the existing highway to minimize potential
impacts to land uses, which may be considered cultural practices,
occurring on a property identified as a Land Commission Award (LCA) at
the makai end of Ukumehame Stream. At the Ukumehame Firing Range, this
alternative crosses through the SLR-XA, but avoids a sediment basin,
which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory
Mapper (NWI) identifies as a potential wetland area, mauka of the
existing Honoapiilani Highway. Alternative 1 would avoid approximately
84 percent of the SLR-XA encroachment area on the existing highway.
Roughly 0.6 mile (about 3,330 feet) of this alignment would remain
inside the SLR-XA.
Build Alternative 2
Build Alternative 2 was adapted from the Maui County Pali to
Puamana Parkway 2005 ``middle'' concept. In Launiupoko, this alignment
would remain close to the existing Honoapiilani Highway. As this
alignment crosses Olowalu, it would require the acquisition of private
property, including a number of LCA lands in Olowalu. However, the
Alternative would avoid the Kapaiki Place residential neighborhood. In
Ukumehame, this alignment follows a more makai route to maximize use of
County and State-owned property like Alternative 1 and stays closer to
the existing Honoapiilani Highway, thereby avoiding impacts to the LCA
at the makai end of Ukumehame Stream. Unlike Alternative 1, this
alignment would not avoid the SLR-XA at Ukumehame Stream, because it
seeks to keep as close to the existing Honoapiilani Highway as
possible. This alignment would remain in the SLR-XA until it reaches
the sediment basin below Ukumehame Firing Range. This sediment basin
contains an area identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's NWI
as a potential wetland area.
Alternative 2 traverses the makai side of the sediment basin
roughly following the mauka edge of the SLR-XA. As a result, this
alignment does not avoid as much of the SLR-XA as Alternative 1.
Alternative 2 would avoid approximately 71 percent of the SLR-XA on the
existing highway. Roughly 1.1 miles (about 6,000 feet) of this
alignment would remain inside the SLR-XA.
Build Alternative 3
Build Alternative 3 was adapted from the Maui County Pali to
Puamana Parkway 2005 ``mauka'' concept. It is identical to Alternative
2, except in Olowalu where the alignment is further inland or mauka. At
Olowalu, adjustments were made to this alignment to avoid affecting
properties with permitted building plans that are near to beginning
construction and to be more cohesive with the private subdivision's
greenway and existing roadway and utility easements. Preliminary
engineering investigations and comments from early scoping suggest that
the terrain underlying Alternative 3 may be more variable and
challenging than Alternative 2. The alignment would also require
acquisition of private property and avoid the Kapaiki Place residential
neighborhood. Alternative 3 would avoid approximately 71 percent of the
SLR-XA on the existing highway, similar to Alternative 2. Roughly 1.1
miles (about 6,000 feet) of this alignment would remain inside the SLR-
XA.
[[Page 71395]]
Build Alternative 4
Build Alternative 4 was also adapted from the Maui County Pali to
Puamana Parkway 2005 mauka concept. The alignment for Alternative 4 was
selected to realign the highway as much as possible away from the SLR-
XA, without as much consideration for property ownership as other Build
Alternatives. The route through Olowalu town that distinguishes this
alignment is based on preliminary landowner input provided in 2007.
This alignment was further adjusted in 2022 to minimize the creation of
remnant parcels by following proposed roads and property boundaries
where possible. In doing so, it provides opportunities for multimodal
connectivity between the private subdivision's greenway and the
realigned highway. In Olowalu, Alternative 4 avoids the Kapaiki Place
neighborhood but comes close to the Kipuka Olowalu Cultural Reserve,
the site of the Olowalu Petroglyphs. Alternative 4 proposes to span a
No Build Archaeological Buffer along Ukumehame Stream with a bridge, to
avoid impacts to this archaeological preservation area that was
established as part of the Ukumehame Subdivision project, according to
a 2005 Final Environmental Assessment.
While other alternatives turn makai at Mopua (a locale at the
southeastern end of Olowalu), only Alternative 4 continues mauka to
realign the highway as much as possible away from the SLR-XA. It
proceeds toward the Ukumehame Firing Range through private property and
passes through the sediment basin before connecting back to the
existing highway. Alternative 4 would avoid roughly 92 percent of the
SLR-XA on the existing highway, avoiding the SLR-XA the most of all
Build Alternatives. Roughly 0.3 mile (about 1,600 feet) of this
alignment would remain inside the SLR-XA.
No-Build Alternative
In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's
regulations implementing NEPA (40 CFR part 1502.14(c)), the EIS will
retain the No-Build Alternative for detailed study and serve as a
benchmark for comparison with the Build Alternatives. The No-Build
Alternative reflects future conditions if the proposed project were not
constructed. Soft protections such as nature-based solutions, hard
protections such as revetments and seawalls, or a combination of
protections and elevating the road are short- to mid-term fixes and
would be included in the No-Build Alternative due to the current state
of the road and chronic impacts from coastal hazards. Future conditions
would be based on projections of land use and development that are
likely to occur 25 years after the project construction. The EIS will
provide a comparison of project impacts based on the planning horizon
year 2050.
4. Brief Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Given the scope, scale, and complexity of improving the resiliency
of a coastal highway, FHWA and HDOT anticipate that the project will
likely have significant impacts to the local environment. Agencies,
stakeholders, and the public are invited to comment on the expected
impacts to be analyzed in the EIS, as well as avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation measures. The EIS will evaluate the potential social,
economic, and environmental effects resulting from the implementation
of the Build Alternatives and the No-Build Alternative.
Additional areas of investigation for this project will include,
but not be limited to, consistency with existing plans and land uses,
biological resources, cultural resources, archaeological resources, air
quality, noise and vibration impacts, social impacts such as shoreline
access, land use (residential displacements and local business
impacts), recreational resources, visual impacts, traffic impacts,
engineering feasibility, project schedule, and ease of implementation.
The most sensitive resources requiring evaluation in the project area
are likely to be the following:
Relocations: The Build Alternatives may require ROW
acquisitions in partially-developed agricultural subdivisions and
County-owned lands. The FHWA and HDOT will work closely with any
impacted stakeholders to avoid full displacement of a home or business.
Historic Properties: Numerous archaeological, historical,
and cultural sites are present in the project study area, including
well-known sites such as the Olowalu Petroglyphs and Kipuka Olowalu
Cultural Reserve. The EIS will provide a summary discussion of
archaeological, historical, and cultural resources. Given the prolific
pre-contact settlement in this area, at the request of the native
Hawaiian families, the project would avoid LCAs whenever possible to
minimize potential impacts to archaeological and cultural resources.
Other sensitive resources, and technical reports prepared on these
subjects, may be kept confidential and would not be reproduced as part
of the public distribution of the EIS.
Recreational Resources and section 4(f) of the Department
of Transportation Act: Depending on the alignment, the Build
Alternatives may affect the publicly owned Ukumehame Firing Range, a
park property protected by section 4(f) of the Department of
Transportation Act. The FHWA and HDOT will continue to coordinate with
Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation to avoid, minimize and/
or mitigate possible impacts to Ukumehame Firing Range.
Wetlands and Waters of the U.S.: According to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service NWI Wetlands Mapper, small wetlands may exist
in the project study area. Further study is needed to delineate any
Waters of the U.S including wetlands. Additionally, bridge crossings
would be needed to carry the highway over Launiupoko, Olowalu, and
Ukumehame Streams, and other small streams in the project corridor. As
an overall project approach, bridge structures associated with Build
Alternatives would either avoid placement of fill within Waters of the
U.S. by spanning the stream or conform to regional conditions for the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Clean Water Act (CWA) section 404
Nationwide Permits. In addition, Build Alternatives may require
dredging or filling of jurisdictional wetlands or other Waters of the
U.S. which would also require a section 404 permit from USACE.
Important agricultural lands are present throughout the
project study area, including Agricultural Lands of Importance to the
State of Hawaii (ALISH) and Federally-defined Prime and Unique
agricultural lands. Potential impacts to farmlands would be evaluated
according to the Federal Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA).
Environmental Justice (EJ): In accordance with E.O. 12898,
FHWA must identify and address disproportionately high and adverse
impacts to low-income and minority EJ populations. The Draft EIS will
include information on the location of and project effects on EJ
populations, such as the communities of Olowalu and Ukumehame,
including the neighborhood of Kapaiki Place, to evaluate the potential
for adverse effects. Impacts to EJ communities may include ROW
acquisition for a new alignment, increases in noise, or other
environmental factors. The FHWA and HDOT will work closely with the
community to identify and incorporate measures to avoid adverse effects
and if possible, reduce impacts to any disproportionately high and
adverse
[[Page 71396]]
effects on EJ Population's health or environment.
It should be noted that avoiding impacts on some resources would
require trade-offs with impacts to other resources. For example, while
none of the alternatives would fully avoid the SLR-XA, some would do so
more than others. Achieving more avoidance of or adaptation within the
SLR-XA inundation zone may require more land acquisitions, use of steep
and difficult terrain, and/or elevating the roadway. These options
would likely increase environmental impacts and overall project costs.
Similarly, all alternatives being retained for evaluation in the EIS
would affect some LCAs because avoiding most or all LCAs would require
a much further mauka route with significant increase to environmental
impacts and costs or would result in keeping the highway essentially
unchanged in its current alignment.
The FHWA and HDOT will produce a Draft and Final Environmental
Impact Statement (Draft EIS and Final EIS) and the Record of Decision
(ROD). The FHWA and HDOT plan to identify the preferred alternative in
the Draft EIS. The Draft EIS will also include measures to avoid,
minimize, or mitigate any significant adverse impacts. The NEPA Final
EIS and ROD are anticipated to be combined.
Environmental impact analysis will not begin until the public
comment period on the NOI has ended. The identification of impacts may
be revised due to the consideration of public comments. See the
Supplementary NOI Document for a more detailed description of the
affected environment. The studies to identify the impacts, as well as
the analyses of impacts from the retained alternatives, will be
presented in the EIS.

7. A Description of the Public Scoping Process
The FHWA and HDOT welcome input on the Purpose and Need of the
project; alternatives for consideration; items for further study or
analysis; and other aspects of the project to ensure that all potential
issues are identified. Regulations implementing NEPA, as well as 23
U.S.C. 139, also call for agency and public involvement in the EIS
process. To comply with these regulations, FHWA and HDOT developed a
Coordination Plan for Public Outreach and Agency Involvement
(Coordination Plan). This plan articulates the roles and
responsibilities of those agencies invited to participate as
Cooperating or Participating Agencies in the project development and
review process.
Consistent with the Coordination Plan, FHWA and HDOT held informal
community town hall meetings on February 22 and 24, 2022. In addition,
FHWA and HDOT will hold public scoping meetings and a public hearing
during the NEPA review. The community will be invited to these meetings
through a combination of mailout notices and public notices (such as in
the newspaper). Community meetings will be held at times and locations
convenient to those that work and live in the corridor. These meetings
may be conducted virtually, in-person, or a hybrid of both. Language
assistance will be provided upon request and through advice of local
community leaders.
To assist in determining the scope of issues to be addressed and
identifying the potential for significant issues related to the
proposed action, the public will have the opportunity to submit written
comments at the public scoping meeting and during the 30-day scoping
comment period beginning on the date of this NOI publication. A Draft
EIS will be developed following the scoping period and made available
for public and agency review and comment prior to the Draft EIS Public
Hearing.
Information about public meetings is available on the project
website. Please also refer to the DATES and Schedule for the Decision-
Making Process sections of this Notice.
8. Contact Information
Please direct comments or questions concerning this proposed action
and the EIS to the FHWA and HDOT contacts as specified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section at the beginning of this notice.
