the public. The official comment period
ended on August 11, 2015.
The State of Hawaii’s environmental
impact statement preparation notice
(EISPN) was distributed to interested
parties for review between December 23,
2013, and January 23, 2014, and again
between November 8 and December 8,
2014 (republished to reflect the addition
of a second access into the Project site).
During the initial public scoping period
for the EISPN, three public scoping
meetings were held at Kahuku
Community Center: on November 13,
2013, January 10, 2014, and November
19, 2014. In addition to the public
meetings, a media advisory was sent out
prior to each meeting. The State of
Hawaii’s Department of Land and
Natural Resources hosted a public
hearing at the Kahuku Community
Center on June 4, 2015. The draft EIS
was published in the State of Hawaii
Office of Environmental Quality
Control’s The Environmental Notice on
June 8, 2015, in accordance with
requirements set forth under the Hawaii
Environmental Policy Act (HRS § 343–
3). Public comments were accepted
during the 45-day State public comment
period.
Next Steps
We will evaluate the permit
application, associated documents, and
public comments in reaching a final
decision on whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). We
will evaluate whether the proposed
permit action would comply with
section 7 of the ESA by conducting an
intra-Service section 7 consultation. We
will use the results of this consultation,
in combination with the above findings,
in our final analysis to determine
whether or not to issue an ITP. If the
requirements are met, we will issue the
ITP to the applicant. We will issue a
record of decision and issue or deny the
ITP no sooner than 30 days after
publication of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s notice of
availability of the final EIS.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Museum of
the American Indian professional staff
in consultation with representatives of
the Federated Indians of Graton
Rancheria, California.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1966 and 1967, human
remains representing, at minimum, five
individuals were removed from site CA–
MRN–365, in Novato, Marin County,
CA, during field school projects at the
Miwok Park. The human remains are
eight small fragments that were mixed
with faunal collections from the site.
During the excavations, several house
floors were uncovered and multiple
burials were removed. The human
remains from these burials were
repatriated and reinterred prior to the
passage of NAGPRA. The faunal
collection was donated to the Museum
of the American Indian, and the
additional human remains discussed in
this notice were discovered during a
reevaluation of the faunal collection
between 2012 and 2014. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 2007, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from site CA–MRN–365, in
Novato, Marin County, CA, during
archeological evaluations for a building
project at the Miwok Park by Tom
Origer and Associates. The human
remains are seven small fragments that
were mixed with faunal collections from
the site. The human remains were
discovered during a reevaluation of the
faunal collection between 2012 and
2014. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Site CA–MRN–365 is within the
traditional area of the Coast Miwok
Indians. It is estimated that the Miwok
occupied the site for over 3000 years,
though perhaps not continuously. The
economy of the area was based on
marsh resources with hunting and
gathering in this North Coast Range
area. The semi-permanent village
usually had several family groups that
migrated to other seasonal camps
throughout the growing season. It is a
multi-component site, first documented
by Al Elsasser in 1961, with artifact
assemblages indicating an occupation
from 3000 to 500 years from present
date. The site is located along a creek
bed and extends about 100 feet along

the bank. The site was greatly disturbed
by grading for a housing project and the
equipment storage area.
In 1966, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from site CA–MRN–26, in
Tiburon, Marin County, CA, during a
salvage project by archeologist John
McBeth. The human remains are 17
fragments found in an isolated box. In
the 1970s, most of the human remains
from this site were transferred to San
Francisco State University. The
additional human remains discussed in
this notice were discovered during the
evaluation of the archeological
collection between 2012 and 2014. No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
