At the June 29, 2004 workshop, participants broke into different groups to identify/discuss different aspects of the potential Regional Sediment Management project in the Mokapu to Makapu'u region. Here are some notes that were compiled by the different breakout sessions.
1) Existing Data and Data Gaps
Existing Data:
- GIS data (NOAA Pacific Services Center)
- Non-directional buoy data
- Individual shoreline studies
- Rectified aerial photography (resolution to 2-meters)
- SHOALS data
- Watershed studies
Data Gaps:
- Directional wave data
- Vertical datum verification (to be re-visited by NGS?)
- Recent aerial photography with higher resolution
- Current data (site-specific) and general circulation data
- Sand source information
- Hindcast data
2) Environmental/Permit Concerns
Environmental:
- Project timeline (EIS, public input, etc)
- Define "regional" (mauka to makai or coastal zone [streams, stormwater])
- "Baseline" studies (biological surveys, marine/benthic, coral reefs, aviary studies, offshore islands-sanctuaries, cultural/social, recreational issues, economic cost/benefit)
- Environmental monitoring (seasonal, annual, decadal?)
Permitting:
- Timeline
- Define "region" and "scope" (EIS - programmatic, rivers/land use?, TMDL/DOH, Kawainui)
- List alternatives/options - State CDUA (USACE DA, CZM consistency, DOH-WQC, NPDES, Fish & Wildlife consultation, County SMA)
- State SPGP < 10,000cy (one step permit)
3) Project Implementation
Federal:
- Funding (CAP, Section 103 - $3M/5-7 yrs, GI Study)
- Construction (RFP, IFB)
- Design (In-house, A/E)
- Permit (sand sources)
Non-Federal:
- Funding (State/County, State or County budget, DOT, DLNR, County PWs)
- Construction (RFP, IFB)
- Design (A/E Contract)
4) Potential Demonstration Projects/Erosion Hot Spots
Bellows Beach:
- Relocate (2009?)
- Remove revetment
Lanikai South:
- Beach nourishment (volume?)
- Environmental concern (reef patches, programmatic)
Lanikai North (Kaupo Beach):
- Highway issue
Ka'elepulu Stream & Boat Ramp:
- Manage sediment at stream mouth
- TetraTech Study?
Kaiona Beach
MCBH (Fort. Haze Beach)
