DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
General Management Plan; Kaloko Honokohau National Historical
Park; Notice of Availability of Final Environmental Impact Statement
Summary: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Public Law 91-190, the National Park
Service has prepared a final environmental impact statement (FEIS) on
the general management plan (GMP) for Kaloko-Honokohau National
Historical Park, Hawaii County, Hawaii. The general management plan
calls for the development of access and visitor use facilities at the
park. Facilities proposed in the park are limited to those essential
for the protection of resources, provision of visitor services, and
perpetuation of the Hawaiian culture. They are confined to areas
already disturbed, known not to contain cultural or natural resources,
and located away from the coast. Developments are to be designed to
blend in with the historical and open character of the park's
landscape. Moreover, they are to be located so as to not interfere with
the traditional Hawaiian activities taking place in the park.
The draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) was released for
public review in October 1992, and the public comment period closed
December 11, 1992. Both the DEIS and the FEIS evaluate the same
proposal and three alternatives, and information in the FEIS is
essentially unchanged from the DEIS. The alternatives consist of no
action, limited facility development (minimum requirements), and
maximization of vehicle access with more emphasis on recreational use.
The FEIS contains written responses to substantive comments made on the
DEIS, as well as minor modifications and clarifications to the text as
appropriate in response to those comments.
Supplementary Information: The no action period on the GMP/FEIS
will extend for 30 days after EPA publishes a notice of its
availability in the Federal Register. Requests for information on, or
copies of the final document should be directed to the Superintendent,
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, 73-4786 Kanalani Street,
#14, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740; or to the Park Planner, National Park
Service Pacific Area Office, 300 Ala Moana Blvd., Box 56065, Honolulu,
Hawaii 96850.
Dated: September 28, 1994.

Regional Director, Western Region.
