CHAPTER 343 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

In accordance with Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR)sect 11-2001-16 (a)(l) and the Exemption List for the Department of Land and Natural Resources reviewed and concurred on by the Environmental Council on November 10 2020 the subject request is exempt from the preparation of an environmental assessment pursuant to Exemption Class No 1 that states Operations repairs or maintenance of existing structures facilities equipment or topographical features involving minor expansion or minor change of use beyond that previously existing and Item 44 that states Permits licenses registrations and rights-ofshyentry issued by the Department that are routine in nature involving negligible impacts beyond that previously existing (Exhibit B)

DCCA VERIFICATION

Not applicable as individuals are not required to register with the DCCA

JUSTIFICATION FOR REVOCABLE PERMIT

This property is being processed as a month-to-month revocable permit as it does not have a legal access from a public roadway and therefore does not qualify for long-term lease at public auction

REMARKS

At its meeting of June 19 1998 under agenda item D-32 the Board authorized the issuance of Revocable Permit No S-7158 to Manuel C Rapozo III for pasture purposes Mr Rapozo had been grazing cattle on family properties adjacent to the State land and wished to include

BLNR - Ca nc e ll a t i on of RP S- 7708 Pa ge 3 Fe brua ry 12 202 1 a nd issue a r e vocab l e pe r mit

the State parcel (047) into his grazing area The portion of parcel 003 being used for access purposes was a former gravity railroad system built by the plantations to transport sugarcane down slope

Then at its meeting ofNovember 22 2010 under agenda item D-1 the Board authorized the cancellation and re-issue of a new revocable permit to Mr Rapozo reflecting the terms and conditions of the most current RP form

Mr Rapozo passed away in June 2020 His daughter and son-in-law Lisa and Peter Abarcar have continued managing the cattle operation they ran with Mr Rapozo and wish to maintain the utilization of the subject area for pasture purposes As this is a continuation of the family owned cattle operation staff is recommending the waiver of the Phase I environmental site assessment 1

The Applicants have not had a lease permit easement or other disposition of State lands terminated within the last five years due to non-compliance with such terms and conditions There have been no other applicants requesting use of these parcels

Request for comments were sent to various government agencies and their responses are listed below

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has requested a clarification as to why a long-term disposition has not been considered for this parcel of State land Although the TMK maps indicate homestead roads adjacent to the parcel these roads do not physically exist and are considered paper roads The subject property is unsuitable for lease at public auction as it is not accessible to the general public but can be reached through the applicants adjacent property

No There are no particularly sensitive environmental issues involved with the proposed use of the property

The land is currently used for pasture purposes under RP S-7708 However the permittee recently passed away This request for a new revocable permit would allow family members of the former permittee to continue utilizing the State parcel

It is anticipated the issuance of a new permit to applicants in itself will probably have minimal or no significant effect on the environment and is presumed to be exempt from the preparation of an environmental assessment It is recommended that the Board of Land and Natural Resources find that the issuance of the permit is exempt from the preparation of an environmental assessment
