Onsite Wastewater Treatment Survey and Assessment
This Onsite Wastewater Treatment Survey and Assessment document, sponsored by the State Department of Health (DOH) and the CZM Program, provides information on the capabilities and limitations of onsite wastewater systems, as well as factors to consider in the selection of an appropriate onsite wastewater system for a given site in Hawaii. This information is intended to promote effective wastewater treatment in rural settings so that ground and surface water resources, coastal water quality, and coastal habitats are protected from wastewater contamination.
Readers are encouraged to review Chapter 11-62, Hawaii Administrative Rules pertaining to individual wastewater systems, and to discuss their options with DOH staff and consult with a professional engineer prior to attempting to select an onsite wastewater treatment system for a particular site.
Phase III Native Hawaiian Access Rights Project
Stormwater Impact Assessment Project
This report is the result of Phase 1 of a Section 309 Grant project focusing on Cumulative and Secondary Impact Strategies. Phases 2 and 3 will build on Phase 1.
This portion of the project involved the study of the regulatory structure in Hawaii to identify opportunities to foster evolving best practices for stormwater management. The environmental impact statement (EIS) in particular provides a means to integrate site-specific analyses in the context of the watershed through cumulative impact analyses. Since the EIS is usually prepared in the planning stages of the project for discretionary permits, the EIS could also provide an opportunity to influence, where appropriate, the consideration of broader objectives and adoption of innovative best practices in the issuance of design-phase permits (e.g. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System reviews, grading permits). The recommendations developed are intended to initiate discussion among EIS practitioners, hydrologists, engineers, and other stakeholders to develop an integrative course of action.
