At the request of Bowers and Kubota, Nohopapa Hawai‘i completed a Literature Review and Field
Inspection (LRFI) Study, and Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS) §6E Consultation supporting
environmental and historic preservation compliance review for the Department of Education (DOE)
Facilities Development Branch (FDB) and Maui High School (MHS) Facilities Project, 660 Lono Avenue,

​

Proposed is the expansion of MHS facilities to include construction of two new buildings - a new one-story building for the DOE Maui District Mowing Facility (6,400 square feet), paved areas and a parking lot (an additional 11,600 square feet), and a new one-story building for the McKinley Community School for Adults Maui Campus (CSA; 9,125 square feet) and associated parking lot (18,450 square feet) - as well as one access routes for the DOE-FDB connecting each facility to West Papa Avenue, and electrical, communications, water, sewer, and drainage utilities for each building on an undeveloped tract of land adjacent to the existing high school. The CIA and LRFI studies will be used to inform an Environmental Assessment (EA) under Hawaiʻi Environmental Policy Act (HEPA) Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes (HRS) §343 and to initiate historic preservation compliance review under HRS §6E-8 and its implementing legislation Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules (HAR) §275.
