Department of Land and Natural ResourcesCommission on Water Resource ManagementAttention: Robert ChongApril 27, 2012Page 2

Please see the attached chart with our responses to the water commission’s February 21,2012 letter. In addition, we would like to add the following which explains our responses to thewater commission’s comments that there were no references to water use in some of the RoyalPatents (“RP”) and Land Commission Awards (“LCA”) in WCEIC’s/WCECA’s application. Inshort, implicit in a LCA and RP is the appurtenant right to water. Since the LCA and RP wererequired to be in literal agreement with the other, reference to water use in either one means thatthere was a reference to water use in the other.

Further, as explained below, since the form of the RP required description by metes andbounds only, reference to water use may not be in the RP. This should hold true for LCAs aswell. Consequently, testimony at the time of application (which we submitted) should weight inon whether the lands were being cultivated at that time.

Background

In 1845, the Board of Land Commissioners to quiet land titles was formed. It was theLand Commission’s responsibility to ascertain or reject claims of interest in land brought beforeit. The Board was not empowered to grant fee simple title to land. Its duty was to determineeach applicant’s identifiable interests in land and issue an award describing those interests.Public Access Shoreline Hawaii v. Hawaii County Planning Commission, 79 Raw. 425, 445, 903P.2d 1246, 1266 (1995) (“PASII’); Application ofElizabeth Cockett Robinson, 49 Haw. 429,434,421 P.2d 570, 574 (1966) (the Land Commission Award is a determination of a right to a patent).Actual title to land could be gained only by a payment of commutation to the Kingdom andissuance of a royal patent. PASH, 79 Haw. at 445, 903 P.2d at 1266; Omerod v. Heirs ofKainoaKupuna Kaheananui, 116 Haw. 239, 247, 172 P.3d 983, 991 (2007) (citing PASH).

After the Land Commission entered a LCA, the Minister of Interior could issue a RP afterthe awardee paid a commutation fee. In essence, a RP was a quitclaim of the government’sinterest in the land. Id.; Brunz v. Mott Smith, 3 Raw. 783, 1877 WL 7569 (1877) (the effect of apatent is to relinquish the government’s interest in the area described therein unto the originalawardee). In summary, neither the LCA nor RP was required to show the use of the land.

Additional Responses to Water Commission ‘s Comments

Form ofRP required metes and bounds

The water commission commented that there were no references to water use in some ofthe LCA’s and/or RP’s in WCEIC’s/WCECA’s application. However, this should not bedeterminable on the issue of water use or cultivation on the lands since the they were onlyrequired to show the lands’ metes and bounds.

Department of Land and Natural ResourcesCommission on Water Resource ManagementAttention: Robert ChongApril 27, 2012Page 3

The form of all RPs were required to describe the land therein by metes and bounds or bynatural boundaries. In order to obtain a RP and obtain fee simple ownership of land conveyedduring the Mahele, an awardee needed to present a Boundary Commission judgment describinghis or her land by metes and bounds. Id.; Greenwell v. Paris, 6 Raw. 315, 1882 WL 7783 (1882)(The object of the boundary commissioner is to enable parties to obtain such Royal Patentsdefining their lands by metes and bounds); See Application ofElizabeth Cockett Robinson, 49Raw. 429, 421 P.2d 570 (1966) (the form of all Royal Patents shall describe the land by actualsurvey or by natural boundaries as the case may be).

There were some instances where the water commission noted references to water use inthe LCA but not in the RP, and vice versa. However, the metes, bounds and description of thesurvey in the petition must be in literal agreement with the award. Brunz, 3 Raw. 783, 1877 WL7569 (1877). Consequently, if water use is referenced in either the LCA or the RP it shouldapply equally to the other.

Testimony Regarding Water Use

We note that the water commission did not comment on the testimony submitted and soare unsure on the water commission’s position regarding the same. Since neither the LCA norRP can be relied upon to reference water use (since metes and bounds only were required inthem), testimony by applicants and others at the time of application should weigh equally in onthe question. Furthermore, by virtue of the lands being Kuleana lands, the use of water thereon isimplied. In this regard, the first six sections of the Kuleana Act enabled the common people ofHawaii to secure fee simple title to the lands they actually cultivated. The seventh sectioncontained the rights that were to accompany a commoner’s tenancy. Reppun v. Board of WaterSupply, 65 Raw. 531, 549, 656 P.2d 57, 69 (1982).

Generally, the conveyance of land, confirmed by a LCA and/or when the RP was issuedbased on such award, carried with it the appurtenant right to water for taro growing.McBryde Sugar Company, Limitedv. Robinson, 54 Raw. 174, 188, 504 P.2d 1330, 1339 (1973);See also Maikai v. Hasings & Co., 5 Haw. 133, 1884 WL 6659 (1884) (Holders of Kuleanas areentitled to water for irrigation purposes from the stream in the land which their Kuleanas aresituated.) Unlike riparian rights, appurtenant water rights are incidents of land ownership. Thisincludes the water on their lands and all the water which the lands had enjoyed from timeimmemorial. Reppun, 65 Raw. at 551, 656 P.2d at 70.

We are also enclosing the following documents that respond to the Commission’s variouscomments:

1. File Plan - regarding location of the various apanas.2. Enlargement of File Plan re LCA 4452:9, RP 7302.3. Index re LCA 3237.

4. Land Patent No. S8536 re LCA 3237:3 issued in 1960.5. CopyofRP6lO2

We trust our responses satisfies the Commission’s comments. Please do not hesitate toadvise the undersigned if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration in thismatter.

Very truly yours,

LCA 377 Appurtenant right claim documented for The description of the land in the LCA and the RP are the“cultivated” and “kuleana” land. same. Consequently, both LCA and RP document the

appurtenant right claim.

RP 5366 Appurtenant right claim documented

LCA 406:1 1 1 Apana are listed. No specific ref to water The LCA states: “There are many dry taro lots in the iii ofuse for Ap 1. Further documentation required Puhiawaawa.” Puhiawaawa is apana 1. Consequently,for Api. NR, NT, and FT refer to loi, taro, appurtenant right is documented for apana 1. See thesugar cane and potato patches but do not following that references “Puhiawaawa:specify which apana. 1. English translation

2. native register (English) that “some taro patches are atPuhiawaawa...”3. native testimony (English) by Kuihelani: “There is apatch and a field at Puhiawaawa...”, by Kailihiwa: “There isa field and patches at Puhiawaawa...”

RP 5376 No ref to water use. As well, the RP says that the land is in Puhiawaawa. Thisshould be tied in to the LCA that says there are many drytaro lots in the ili of Puhiawaawa.

LCA 453: 1 & 2 Appurtenant right claim documented.

RP 997 RP refers to LCA 3572. The File Plan refers to RP 997 (which we submitted for yourNo ref to water use. reference only). However, we believe RP “997” is a typo on

the File Plan (the “1” is missing) and RP “1997” is correctbecause RP 1997 cites LCA 453. Furthermore, RP 1997mirrors the description in LCA 453 and as such documentsthe appurtenant right claim. Also, the register referencestaro patches and the native testimony references patches andfarming.

LCA 2434 & 2435 LCA 2434 & 2435 are not shown on survey There appears to be two (2) LCA 243 5’s. One was issued toor TMK maps. Documentation provided for Kaakole (a copy was submitted) and the other was issued toLCA 2435 but 2435 is crossed out. NR, NT, Kahooke (a copy was submitted). The RP 6397 also statesFT documentation provided for LCA 2434. Kuleana Helu 2435 to Kahooke. However, we believe the

LCA and RP for Kahooke showing 2435 are typos ( andshould be 2434) because the register and testimony forKahooke (property in Wailuku) is numbered 2434 while theproperty for Kaakole (2435) is in Kapunakea. A poalima isreferenced in the LCA for Kahooke. The register for 2434refers to loi’ s and the native testimony refers to taro and 3p0’ alimas and the foreign testimony references kalo and 3poalimas on the property.

See File Plan (LCA 2435 indicated below Lot 69)

NOTE: all LCA’s that were commented as not locatedare shown highlighted on the File Plan.

RP 3652 RP is for LCA 2502 RP 3652 cites LCA 2502. However, we believe it is a typobecause the description in RP 3652 is exactly the same as inLCA 2503. Consequently, both reference water use.Further, both RP 3652 and LCA 2503 are to Ohule. TheLCA and RP references poalimas, the register referenceslois, native testimony references taro and poalimas andforeign testimony references kalo and poalima.

LCA 3237: 3 Appurtenant right claim documented.

4

RP 6888 No ref to water use The purpose of the RP was to quitclaim the government’sinterest in the property and to contain metes and boundsdescription. Consequently, reference to water use would notnecessarily be in the RP. The register references lois, nativetestimony references taro land, taro loi, taro pauku andforeign testimony references lois.

Royal Patent 6888 is indicated in the Index for LCA 3237but it is land in Kalihi, Oahu. Before 1960, no RP wasissued. The RP was issued in 1960 and oniy shows metesand bounds. A copy is attached.

LCA 3275-E: 3,4,6 Appurtenant right claim documented

RP 5154 No ref to water use The description of the land in RP is the same as in LCA3275-E and thus, appurtenant right claim was documented inthe RP as well. Native testimony references taro patches(apana 3), taro pauku (apana 4 & 6) and foreign testimonyreferences lois (apana 3, 4 & 6):

RP 6102 No ref to water use. RP tracks LCA and references kalo. Appurtenant rightcontained in LCA is in RP. Enclosed is a clearer copy of RP6102. The native testimony references taro land and taromoo (cultivated piece of land) and foreign testimonyreferences moo of kalo.

LCA 3488 Appurtenant right claim documented.

LCA 3498 Appurtenant right claim documented.

RP 7432 No ref to water Reference to “kalo” is contained in both the LCA and RP.The description in the RP and the LCA are exactly the same.Consequently, both LCA and RP refer to water use. Theregister references taro.

LCA 4452:9 LCA is not shown on TMK map. No ref to Reference to “Apana 9” appears on the LCA under the wordsAp. 9. “Helu 4452’
