electrical substation, an overhead
transmission line to connect the
substation to the Maui Electric
Company Ltd. transmission line, a
permanent unguyed meteorological
monitoring tower, and short service
roads to connect the new WTGs and
other facilities to the existing main
access road servicing KWP I. The overall
project is located within a combined
footprint area of approximately 143
acres (58 hectares). The Applicant has
also applied for a State of Hawai‘i
incidental take license under Hawai‘i
State law. The draft HCP describes the
impacts of take associated with those
activities on the Covered Species, and
proposes a program to minimize and
mitigate take on each of the Covered
Species.
KWP II is proposing mitigation
measures that include: (1) Active
management such as predator removal
and construction of cat- and mongooseproof fences at Hawaiian petrel and
Newell’s shearwater colonies; (2)
¯ ¯
captive propagation and release of nene
goslings; (3) habitat management and
¯ ¯
predator control to increase nene
breeding success and survival; (4)
surveys to document the distribution
and abundance of the Hawaiian hoary
bat; and (5) habitat management and
reforestation to benefit the recovery of
the Hawaiian hoary bat. This HCP
incorporates adaptive management
provisions to allow for modifications to
the mitigation and monitoring measures
as knowledge is gained during
implementation.
We invite comments and suggestions
from all interested parties and request
that comments be as specific as
possible. In particular, we request
information and comments regarding
the following issues:
(1) The direct, indirect, and
cumulative effects that implementation
of any reasonable alternatives could
have on endangered and threatened
species;
(2) Other reasonable alternatives
consistent with the purpose of the
proposed HCP as described above, and
their associated effects;
(3) Measures that would minimize
and mitigate potentially adverse effects
of the proposed action;
(4) Adaptive management or
monitoring provisions that may be
incorporated into the alternatives, and
their benefits to listed species;
(5) Other plans or projects that might
be relevant to this action;
(6) The proposed term of the
Incidental Take Permit and whether the
proposed conservation program would
minimize and mitigate to the maximum
extent practible the incidental take that

would be expected to occur over 20
years; and
(7) Whether the HCP meets other ESA
sec. 10(a)(2)(B) (16 U.S.C. (a)(2)(B),
issuance criteria; and
(8) Any other information pertinent to
evaluating the effects of the proposed
action on the human environment.
The draft EA considers the direct,
indirect, and cumulative effects of the
proposed action of permit issuance,
including the measures that will be
implemented to minimize and mitigate
such impacts. The EA contains an
analysis of three alternatives: (1)
Issuance of an incidental take permit to
KWP II on the basis of the proposed
HCP with the downroad siting location;
(2) the issuance of a permit based on the
downwind/downstring siting location;
and (3) No Action (no permit issuance
and no measures by the Applicant to
reduce or eliminate the take of Covered
Species).
This notice is provided under section
10(c) (16 U.S.C. 1539(c)) of the ESA and
NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). The
public process for the proposed Federal
action will be completed after the public
comment period, at which time we will
evaluate the permit application, the
HCP and associated documents
(including the EA), and comments
submitted thereon to determine whether
or not the proposed action meets the
requirements of section 10(a) (16 U.S.C.
1539(a)) of the ESA and has been
adequately evaluated under NEPA.
