The EIS will be prepared in
accordance with regulations
implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as
well as provisions of the recently
enacted Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A
Legacy of Users (SAFETEA–LU). The
purpose of this Notice of intent is to
alert interested parties regarding the
plan to prepare the EIS, to provide
information on the nature of the
proposed project, to invite participation
in the EIS process, including comments
on the scope of the EIS proposed in this
notice, and to announce that a public
scoping meeting will be conducted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Written comments on the scope of the
EIS should be sent to Pat V. Phung,
Transportation Engineer, Federal
Highway Administration, Hawaii
Division, Box 50206, 300 Ala Moana
Blvd., Room 3–306, Honolulu, HI 96850,
within 30 days of the publication of this
notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with the Hawaii
Department of Transportation (HDOT),
will be preparing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the
improvement of the 11-mile segment of
Honoapiilani Highway between Maalaea
and Launiupoko in West Maui. The
eastern limit of the project is the
western terminus of the recent
Honoapiilani Highway widening project
near Maalaea. The western limit of the
project will be southern terminus of the
Lahaina Bypass Road, near Launiupoko
Wayside Park. Highway improvements
may involve improving portions of the
existing highway and/or constructing a
new highway along a different
alignment.
Purposes and needs for the
Nonoapiilani Highway Realignment/
Widening, Maalaea to Launiupoko will
be finalized after the completion of the
scoping process. Project goals may
involve: (1) Alleviate existing
congestion; (2) Accommodate future
travel demand; (3) Protect road from
shoreline erosion; (4) Complement land
use and preservation plans; (5) Improve
reliability of access to and from West
Maui; (6) Enhance pedestrian and
vehicular mauka/makai movements; (7)
Provide consistent roadway system
linkages; (8) Enhance modal
interrelationships and non-vehicular
modes of travel; (9) Improve public
safety for emergencies; and (10) Improve
substandard road elements. These
project purposes may be modified
through the planning process.
The NEPA scoping process being
initiated by the publication of this NOI
is intended to generate a full range of
project alternatives for subsequent
evaluation. The No Build alternative
would leave Honoapiilani Highway in
its current condition except for possible
short-term and minor activities, such as
safety upgrades and maintenance. A
Transportation System Management
(TSM) alternative may include elements
such as restriping the roadway,
enhancing transit service, establishing
contra-flow lanes, widening the
roadway in place and/or raising the
roadbed in areas of high shoreline
hazard. The TSM alternative could also
include establishing and improving
intersections along the existing roadway

through techniques such as
channelization, roundabouts, or left turn
lanes.
Other possible improvement
alternatives include: (1) A new
Kaanapali to Wailuku highway; (2)
Aerial cable car; (3) Tunnel under the
Pali; (4) Ocean causeway around the
Pali; (5) Light Rail Transit from Lahaina
to Wailuku; (6) Pave ‘‘Haul Cane Road’’
(Industrial Road, or Cane Haul Road;)
(7) Ferries from Maalaea to either Mala
Wharf, Lahaina small boat harbor, or a
new harbor to be constructed at Cut
Mountain; (8) Enhanced bus system; (9)
Realignment included in the County’s
Pali to Puamana Plan (P2P Plan); (10)
Alternative alignment proposed in a
privately commissioned study; (11)
Elevate and widen road within existing
ROW; (12) Improve intersections along
existing road; (13) Roadway Couplet
(Westbound: 2 lanes in a mauka
alignment and Eastbound: 2 lanes on
existing road); (14) West Maui hotels
provide enhanced shuttle service and
car pools for workers; (15) Widen
existing road to provide for contraflow
operation; and (16) Widen existing road
to provide for high occupancy vehicle
(HOV) lanes.
The purpose of the EIS process is to
explore in a pubic setting potentially
significant effects of implementing the
proposed action on the physical,
human, and natural environment. Areas
of investigation for this project will
include but not be limited to cultural
resources, archaeological resources,
biological resources, social impact,
engineering feasibility, schedule, costbenefit analysis, land use pattern,
shoreline access, residential
displacements, impacts on existing
businesses, air quality, noise and
vibration, and ease of implementation.
Measures to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate any significant adverse impacts
will be identified. The documents that
will be produced include an
Alternatives Analysis Report (AA), Draft
and Final Environmental Impact
Statement (DEIS and FEIS), and the
Record of Decision (ROD).
Regulations implementing NEPA, as
well as provisions of SAFETEA–LU, call
for public involvement in the EIS
process. Section 6002 of SAFETEA–LU
requires that FHWA and HDOT do the
following: (1) Extend an invitation to
other government agencies and Native
Hawaiian organizations that may have
an interest in the proposed project to
become ‘‘participating agencies,’’ (2)
provide an opportunity for involvement
by participating agencies and the public
in helping to define the purpose and
need for this proposed project, as well
as the range of alternatives for

consideration in the impact statement,
and (3) establish a plan for coordinating
public and agency participation in and
comment on the environmental review
process.
To comply with these regulations, an
invitation to become a participating
agency, with a scoping information
packet appended, will be extended to
other government agencies and Native
Hawaiian organizations that may have
an interest in the proposed project.
Community meetings will provide
public-friendly and accessible venues
for comments to be accepted regarding
alternatives, scope of the EI, and the
purpose and needs to be addressed.
Community meetings will be held on
Maui at times and locations convenient
to those that work and live in the
corridor. Meeting locations will be
accessible to people with disabilities.
Input received will be collected and
documented. In addition to community
meetings and a DEIS public hearing,
small group meetings will be held
during the planning and DEIS
preparatory stages.
A project Task Force will also be
formed to help advise HDOT on key
aspects of the project such as project
goals, development and ranking of
alternatives; construction phasing plan;
and mitigation measures. Similar to all
community meetings, the Task Force
meetings will be open to the public,
accessible to people with disabilities,
and held on Maui at times and locations
convenient to those that live and work
in the corridor.
