By a June 28, 1994 telephone conversation with Joe Nose of your staff, we have confirmed that you wish to withdraw your application for a new temporary permit for the West Loch 1 & 2 Wells (Well Nos. 2002-13 & 14).

Please be aware that a new water use permit application must be filed and approved by the Commission on Water Resource Management prior to any future use of these wells. If you have determined that the wells are permanently unsuitable for use, we request that they be properly sealed or perhaps used as observation wells. If sealed, permits are required from the Commission. If used as observation wells, the wells should be well-marked and protected.

Your letter, dated May 12, 1994, states that your plans for the next year do not include use of your existing caprock wells. In light of your current plans, it is unlikely that a favorable recommendation will be made. However, if you wish to pursue renewal of your temporary permit, the following must be provided to support your request and meet the conditions for temporary permit renewal:

1. A water conservation plan.

2. A plan for conversion to an alternative nonpotable source.

3. Any and all data from caprock wells that have been generated by your firm and that have not previously been submitted to the Commission. If there are no additional data, then you must submit a written statement that all well data generated by your firm have been provided, OR that no data have been generated.

4. Updated annual nonpotable demand projections for the 4-year period, 1994 through 1997.

5. A water shortage plan.

Your plans and other required information should be submitted no later than June 17, 1994. Your renewal request has been tentatively scheduled for the July 13, 1994 Commission meeting.

Mr. Ing asked to be excused from participating on this item since his law firm represents one of the applicants.

Ms. Nakama said that currently there is no established network for collecting data to assess the current/future trends in the water availability but monitoring will be started shortly. Staff had anticipated that the applicants would on their own initiative collect additional data that would go into models that are being developed which would help to better understand the resource. To date, none of the applicants have generated additional data.

Ms. Nakama also corrected the last recommendation to read as "7" instead of another "6".

Mr. Cox expressed concern on:

1) Lack of data which he and Dr. Lewin had requested last year as part of the condition.

2) Missing information on the chlorides in the water data submitted.

Ms. Donna Goth of Campbell Estate explained that the data generation and participation was not possible because the wells are currently under construction, including the monitoring well. They are expected to be completed at the end of this year and as soon as data are generated, they will be submitted. In regards to the up-dated four-year projections, they do not anticipate an increase over their current allocation.

Mr. Tom Nance, representing Gentry, Ltd., submitted testimony (see file). He stated that the deferral was a surprise since monthly water reports (although the water levels were not submitted, that could be done), alternate source plan, conservation plan, and up-dated four-year projections have been submitted.

Mr. Nance requested that the 30-day period for submittal of information be extended to a 60-day period. Ms. Loui said that staff needs time to analyze data before the submittals are finalized and presented for Commission action. Mr. Cox agreed that the 30-day period should be kept.

Mr. Cox asked what would be done in regards to the water shortage plan. Ms. Nakama stated that staff would be approaching users for the information.

Unanimously approved 1) with the understanding that the applicants will cooperate with staff to get more information on the resource and 2) with the correction of the numbering in the conditions (Nakata/Cox).

The boundaries of the brackish Ewa Caprock Aquifer were officially adopted by the Commission on March 3, 1993 without any sustainable yield estimate. Permits totalling 19.564 mgd. were awarded in the 1988-1992 timeframe mainly to existing uses (eg. Oahu Sugar Co.). To satisfy the needs of new developments in the Kapolei and Puuloa areas of the caprock (Exhibit 1), temporary water use permits not exceeding one year were granted to the applicants listed in Exhibit 2. These temporary permits expired on April 28, 1993. All applicants have submitted a request for renewal of their temporary permits.

Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management May 18, 1994

Gentry Development Corp. submitted a new application for a combined well construction/pump installation permit to the Commission on January 21, 1994. A completed application for a water use permit for the proposed source was submitted on February 10, 1994. Specific information regarding the source, use, notification, objections, and field investigation are described in Attachment A and the attached exhibits.

Analysis & Issues

The current guideline used for sustainable yield for water suitable for irrigation in the caprock area is 21 mgd. After cessation of sugarcane operations, the sustainable yield will be reduced to 16 mgd. Although Yuen & Associates, Inc. (1989) made these estimates based on three aquifer systems (Malakole, Puuloa, and Kapolei), the Commission did not officially adopt the separate aquifer systems. If the sustainable yield were divided between the three aquifer systems, the Puuloa Aquifer System may be presently over-allocated. Tables 1 & 2 show current allocations and pending applications for water use permits in relation to the unofficial sustainable yield estimates for the Puuloa and Kapolei Aquifer Systems.

The City & County irrigation needs are currently being met by obtaining water from Oahu Sugar Company. This change in use is a violation of the water use permits issued to Oahu Sugar Company and a reason for revocation of the permits. The City & County is requesting renewal of their temporary permit, although no usage of their allocation was ever made. Staff is conducting field verifications of the Oahu Sugar Company uses. The results of the investigation will be available by the end of the week.

The Commission has hired a consultant to develop--a nonpotable water master plan for Cemral Oahu; including the Ewa plain. However, the scope of the work is broad and must be supported by the individual plans and programs of the applicants.

Condition 5 of the temporary permits required a joint plan for the conversion to an alternative nonpotable source. The plans that were submitted were individually written. Without exception, the applicants' plans are to utilize caprock water for as long as possible. There did not appear to be serious attempts to develop a true plan for conversion. An important policy question is the use of reclaimed water. How much should the uncertainty in caprock water availability drive the encouragement of the use of reclaimed water?

Average use by the Hawaii Prince Golf Club has exceeded permitted use for the last seven months. Higher than average usage is attributed to regular over-watering to avoid salt build-up and large evaporative losses from ten interconnected lakes, which have a total surface area of 32 acres. One of the conditions of the temporary permit was a conservation plan, yet this inefficient use was not addressed. Important policy questions are whether the Commission on Water Resource Management should take action for the over-pumpage violation and whether these temporary permits have been adequate motivation to conserve water and to find alternatives.

The available data on water quality and the effects of pumpage is limited. A network has not yet been established, and the data from the applicants is insufficient to determine impacts, let alone predict impacts. The applicants should be motivated to collect and contribute data for this type of analysis.

None of the developers have fully complied with all conditions of the temporary permit, shown in Attachments B, C, and D. Condition 9 states: "Temporary permits shall not be renewed if any of the above is not provided or followed".

Gentry Development Co. has submitted applications for well construction/pump installation and water use permits for a new caprock source in the Puuloa Aquifer System. However, because the parcels on which the water is to be used have not been subdivided, it cannot be established that the appropriate zoning has been obtained for the project. The County has suggested that the applicant seek a determination from the Dept. of Land Utilization. The applicant is aware of the need for a zoning determination and has indicated that the necessary steps will be taken to support their application. In addition, the applicant should also be required to comply with the special conditions and conservation conditions that have been placed on other developers for temporary permit renewal.

There are fifteen other wells within a mile of the well (Exhibit 1A). Most of these are planned for future use at the Ewa by Gentry Development. No estimate of existing withdrawals from the Puuloa Aquifer System is provided in the 1992 Draft of the Oahu Water Management Plan.

Public Notice

In accordance with HAR §13-171-17, a public notice was published in the StarBulletin on March 17 & 24, 1994 and copies of the notice were sent to the Mayor's office and the Board of Water Supply. Additional notice copies were sent to the County Council and Department of Water Supply. Copies of the completed application were sent to the Department of Health, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Aquatic Resources & Historic Preservation Divisions of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and other interested parties for comments. Written comments and objections to the proposed permit were to be submitted to the Commission by April 11, 1994.

Objections

The public notice specifies that an objector meet the following requirements: (1) state property or other interest in the matter; (2) set forth questions of procedure, fact, law, or policy, to which objections are taken; (3) state all grounds for objections to the proposed permits, (4) provide a copy of the objection letter(s) to the applicant, and (5) submit objections meeting the previous requirements to the Commission by April 11, 1994. No specific objections were filed with the Commission, however, the County has indicated that appropriate zoning for the project cannot be established at this time, and the applicant should seek a determination from the Dept. of Land Utilizati~n.

Briefs in Support

Responses to objections, or briefs in support, regarding the application are required to be filed with the Commission ten (10) days after an objection is filed and, presumably, copies are served to the applicant. No briefs in support were filed with the Commission.

Field Investigation

The application is for a proposed water source and future water use and as such, no field investigation is warranted.

Subject: Temporary Water Use Permit Ewa Caprock Ground Water Management Area, Oahu

•' ... ·

.. ··:.:.

. ·~~:'.. 1 ~~:iJ•'

:.~i~~:, ·· .... \

This is in response to your March 29, 1994, request for the Department of Housing and Community Development's (DHCD) plans to use Ewa caprock water.

Currently we have no plans to utilize our two existing caprock wells in our Ewa Villages project (Well Nos. 2002-13 and 14). Our current plans for the following one-year period do not include using these sources.

...

We nevertheless request an extension of our temporary water use permit, inasmuch as we have not abandoned plans to use caprock water in the Ewa Villages. However, at this time we are unable to submit final water conservation plans or a plan to obtain alternative sources of irrigation water as requested.

If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Nose at 527-5324.

Sincerely,

Acting Director

Notice of Expiration Temporary Water Use Permit

KEITH W. AHUE CHAIRPERSON

JOHN C. LEWIN, M.D. ROBERT S. NAKATA

J. DOUGLAS lNG, ESQ. RICHARD H. COX, P.E.

GUY K. FUJIMURA


On April 28, 1993, the Commission on Water Resource Management (Commission) granted you a temporary water use permit for the use of 928,000 gallons per day of brackish water from the West Loch 1 & 2 Wells (Well Nos. 2002-13 & 14) for golf course and _landscape irrigation at West Loch and Ewa Villages.- Your temporary water use permit for these sources is due to expire on April 28, 1994.

It had been anticipated that the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan would be developed during this interim one-year period. As you may recall, the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan was to provide the following:

1. Updated land use zoning, acreage, and type of land use for projected yearly authorized planned non-potable water demands to 1996; and

2. Guidance for· the production of alternative non-potable sources to supplement, replace, or enhance the caprock source in the absence of sugarcane irrigation return flow.

At this time, it is apparent that additional time will be required for full development and implementation of this plan. To address the existing non-potable needs of temporary permittees in the Ewa Caprock Aquifer, the Commission staff plans to submit a request for a one-year extension of the temporary permits at the Commission meeting tentatively scheduled for April 27, 1994.

As such, please notify the Commission in writing by April 15. 1994 if your current plans for the following one-year period include use of these sources. Based on a January 27, 1994

Mr. Randy Wong Page 2

telephone conversation between my staff and Joe Nose of your staff, we understand that you no longer intend to use water from the West Loch 1 & 2 Wells for your irrigation needs. You should be in receipt of our letter, dated March 7, 1994, requesting information regarding the future use of the subject wells and your plans for obtaining alternative sources of irrigation water. Failure to respond by the indicated deadline will create a presumption of abandonment of the use beginning April 29, 1994.

We have attached a copy of the standard conditions and special conditions of your temporary water use permit. We note that you have not submitted a water conservation plan by the July 28, 1993 deadline or a non-potable alternate source plan for your irrigation needs, as required under the terms of your current permit. Should you submit a written request for an extension of your temporary permit by the April 15, 1994 deadline, please include a copy of both of these plans. Lastly, please submit any additional data that you may have regarding the current and/or projected water situation of the Ewa Caprock Aquifer.

MINUTES OF 1HE MARCH 17. 1223 MEETING

Unanimously approved as submitted (Nakata/Cox).

Mr. Martin asked for the status of the review by the Attorney General's Office on the Stanhope Farms application regarding reasonable beneficial use.

Ms. Loui stated that the review has not yet been completed.

KOOLAU AGRICULTURAL CO .• LID., APPIJCATIONS FOR A WATER USE PERMIT AND WEll CONS1RUCTION AND PUMP INSfAllATION PERMITS FOR MAKAlll I. II. & III WEllS (WEll NOS. 3452-02. 3453-12 & 13). KAHANA GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA, WINDWARD, OAHU

Mr. Hardy summarized the submittal and objections received on the application. He stated that the objections revolved around other ongoing disputes in the area and a general lack of knowledge about the aquifer source.

Mr. Nakata asked Mr. Tam if reliance would be created since the 12" well could be converted immediately into a production well. Mr. Tam stated that because it is a designated ground water area there has to be:

1) a construction permit 2) a pump installation permit, and 3) a water use permit

Further, that it would be wise for the Commission to advise the applicant that the water use permit is not pre-ordained and that any expenditures made prior to obtaining the water use permit are done at their own risk so there is not a later argument that there is an obligation by the Commission to issue the water use permit.

Mr. Nakata asked:

1) If the well is permitted would it supply data to determine whether or not the Makalii Aquifer is a separate system from the Kahana System.

2) Is the area of the supposed aquifer and the conditions large enough to produce the amount of water that is being looked for within the boundaries of the smaller aquifer.

3) Would there be water coming from outside the geographical boundaries of the aquifer in order to produce the 1.5 mgd being requested.

4) Are there other property owners other than Koolau Agricultural Co. and Bishop Estate who would bring up the question of correlative uses.

Mr. Hardy replied that:

1) The pump test may or may not provide information on the separate system.

2) The applicant claims the iniial pump test (done with the existing well) preliminarily indicated that the source was adequate, although staff has not received the data.

3) We don't know if the geographic boundaries match any geologic boundaries. It might be possible, that the basal Makalii Aquifer is somewhat separate from a dike confined area. However, since the ocean is close and there are streams in the area, those would be more likely to be affected before water from a dike area is affected.

4) There may be other property owners claiming correlative rights. In regards to staffs Recommendations 1 and 2, Mr. Ing asked what would be the status of the well construction application for Well No. 1. Mer discussion it was clarified that Well No. 1 would not assist in assessing the potential hydrologic impacts, just Wells 2 or 3 ..

Mr. Ing excused himself from participation on this application because his law firm represents the Bishop Estate.

Mr. Jason Yoshida representing Koolau Agricultural Company (Koolau Ag) read into the record a letter (copy in the Commission file) on the background of the project and Koolau Ag's concerns.

Referring to Mr. Yoshida's testimony, Mr. Fujimura asked how binding one particular statement would be:

"Any well construction applications will be submitted with the understanding that Koolau Ag will be assuming the entire risk of well construction and that there are no assurances that a water use permit will follow."

Mr. Tam stated that if counsel represents and is the agent of the applicant as to arguments they would subsequently make in a court of law with regard to claims for reliance, he interprets it as "an assumption of a risk freely and willfully taken".

Mr. Cox asked if arrangements had been made with BWS to have the well and site dedicated to them. Mr. Yoshida replied that Koolau has been coordinating the design and infrastructure of the well with BWS to meet their specifications to allow for the easy turnover to the BWS system.

In regards to the dedication to BWS, Mr. Fujimura recalled that a strong position was taken by the applicant regarding the agricultural use of this water. He asked that the records be examined to determine what the implication was for the use of the water (see attached). He also recalled that this same subject was not clear at the Windward ground water designation hearing. A statement was made by the applicant at the hearing that it has always been their position that the water would be for agricultural purposes. Although, it may have always been the applicant's position to dedicate the system, the question of ag use vs. potable municipal was not as clear.

Mr. Yoshida added that once it is dedicated, the BWS would make a determination as to who uses that water. Mr. Fujimura said he understood that but he wanted it to be clear what implications were being made by the applicant as to what the water would be used for.

Mr. Creighton Mattoon, Chair of the Koolauloa Neighborhood Board, asked that the application be denied due to concerns that plans for water for the immediate area be determined before plans are made to transfer the water out of the area.

Dr. Jim Anthony of The Hawaii-Laieikawai Association, Inc. (HLA) provided Mr. Yoshida with his objections to Koolau's application and also asked that all his previous submissions on this issue and noted in official records, including the Commission minutes, be reincorporated as part of his testimony. He felt there are many correlative rights issues that have not been addressed by the applicant and that the Commission "must" address before they can give an approval to this application. Dr. Anthony read into the record his testimony for the Commission's denying the application (see Commission files) stating that the applicant's purpose was to create a "water banking scheme".

Dr. Lewin inquired if any discussions were held with the community and BWS in regards to the water uses. Dr. Anthony stated that there has not been any discussion and he did not think any plans had been submitted. Mr. Hardy added

- 3 -

0 0

that he would send Dr. Anthony a copy of a letter dated February 8, which shows the BWS intention and that the applicant has coordinated all plans to drill wells and that the wells can be incorporated into the BWS system.

Dr. Anthony stated that if BWS was so interested in the water, why weren't they developing the water themselves. Mr. Nakata asked the BWS representative what their plans were for the water.

Mr. Burt Kuioka of BWS Planning Branch stated that at this time they have no firm commitments with Koolau Ag and until the capacity of the exploratory wells are known there are no definite commitments. Koolau Ag expressed an interest in incorporating the source into the BWS system. Mr. Fujimura asked if their interest was expressed by letter, phone call, or letter of intent. Mr. Kuioka said he was not involved in the meetings that were held with Koolau Ag and did not know of the details.

Mr. Nakata asked if specific development projects were identified as possible users of this water and requested that BWS inform the Commission of those possibilities. Mr. Kuioka said that would be possible.

Dr. Lewin requested that the Commission be provided with the criteria or system for allocation of water in regards to:

1) Where the water goes. 2) How it would be used. 3) If it is developed would it be for growth in the Windward side. 4) Or is it first come, first served.

Mr. Kuioka said it is first come, first served to the extent that if the developer has zoning approvals, approved permits, and if water is available; they would receive a commitment. Dr. Lewin asked if that was first come, first served based on proximity to the source or first come, first served in terms on whereever on the island the water is needed. Mr. Kuioka stated that if the water can be transported to the area and can be made available to the development at the point of need, then it would be first come, first served.

Mr. Fujimura wanted it made clear that he was not against water transport or people being innovative in finding water, but if the water system was being dedicated by Koolau Ag is it free and clear that it would be going into the system or was it in consideration of a water plan for some other project. Mr. Kuioka said that response would be provided to the Commission.

Mr. Joe Kaakua of the Project Development Branch at BWS provided information on their allocation procedures. He stated that if the developer installs a well (source), BWS reserves that source for the development. If BWS installs a source, that capacity is for growth of the existing system.

Mr. Nakata asked if that meant that a landowner could have a development in one section of the island and owns property in another he could develop water at one site and move it to the development and that the water would be reserved for that development. Mr. Kaakua replied that if its possible, although it is not always possible. Ms. Loui asked how long that water would be reserved for that developer. Mr. Kaakua stated that it is reserved indefinitely.

Referring to Dr. Anthony's testimony regarding groundwater/surface water interaction, Mr. Cox asked if putting in an exploratory well would determine any connection. Dr. Anthony did not feel Koolau Ag was the right party to put in the exploratory well and that it should be a matter for BWS.

Mr. Dave Miconzyk, Vice President of the Punaluu Association, asked the Commission to proceed cautiously because he felt this was another "taking of Punaluu Stream" and that the application should be rejected.

Mr. Nakata asked Mr. Tam if there are correlative rights where the property is located if that water is to be used for another piece of property. Mr. Tam said in a non-designated area there is no water use permit, therefore there is no detennination of correlative rights. In a designated area, a water use permit will be a preliminary detennination of correlative rights. The water use permit itself will have a condition that provides for the reduction of that amount of water in order to satisfy the correlative rights of other landowners in that area.

Mr. Owen Matsunaga, attorney for the Wellings, requested that the Commission deny the application because his client's water has been significantly reduced due to the installation of. the 18" pipeline.

Mr. Marshall Lovett also asked that the permit be denied and suggested that a meter be installed on the 18" pipe to measure that amount of water flowing into the ditch by the ocean.

Mr. Dave Martin of NHAC read his testimony for the record (copy in Commission files). He was generally in agreement with staff recommendation to deny the water use permit but was concerned about the permit processing procedural details. Further discussion followed regarding the water use permits/well drilling permits and related issues.

Mr. Cox inquired if the Commission staff could review the pump test results in terms of effects on the stream. Ms. Loui said that the staff could do it, but that she asked for the assistance of USGS and they have agreed to provide assistance. Mr. Martin then asked if USGS had commented on the Makalii aquifer theory because he felt it would be a prerequisite to detennine if it was a separate aquifer. Ms. Loui said that they had not submitted comments but stated that they agree that pump test information is needed.

Mr. Bo Olsen of International Aqua Farm asked the Commission to deny the permit because he was not provided the water service that he was paying for.

Ms. Marjorie Ziegler of SCLDF agreed with staff recommendation to deny the permit. Their objections to the permit were submitted on February 1, 1993. Ms. Ziegler served Mr. Yoshida with SCLDF's May 21, 1992 letter in which issues were raised, as well as the February 1, 1993 letter. They agreed that a public hearing should be held if and when Koolau Ag reapplies for a water use permit. Ms. Ziegler stated that they have been receiving numerous calls for dispute resolution but are not able to address the disputes because they do not have enought information as well as access to the property. Regardless of the action taken on the water use permit before the Conunission, Ms. Ziegler asked the Conunission to initiate a formal dispute resolution process. She made a number of recommendations which were included in her written testimony. (SCLDF written testimony received on May 5, 1993 for the Conunission file).

Mrs. Dawn Wasson of Hui Malama Aina O'Laie asked that the permit be denied because the water is not in the streams and is not being made available to kuleana landowners.

Mr. William Meyer of USGS commented on testimony heard earlier and based on work done by USGS in Punaluu Valley. He stated that a USGS report discusses the interaction of surface/ground water in Punaluu Valley and that one of the conclusions is that there is a connection between the surface/ground water. Mr. Meyer agreed with staffs testimony that testing could be done to decide if there is no connection. The following recommendations were suggested:

1) Test be set up properly 2) Importance of well location 3) Well closest to the stream be tested 4) Criteria for testing be established before the testing 5) Criteria should deal more with the drawdown in the well itself

Mr. Nakata inquired about:

1) BWS right to condemn land to place wells 2) The harm in the applicant's waiting for BWS to place wells at a later time. 3) The applicant being compensated for damages (should land be condemned)

Mr. Kuioka explained that it was not an unusual situation whereby the developer is allowed to drill the wells. It has been done over a number of years. He was not familiar with the condemnation process, this would be better answered by their. Land Division.

Mr. Yoshida replied that their determination for placing the wells corresponds to their long-range planning to develop the Koolau Ag property for farming use. If BWS comes in with their powers of condemnation at a later date, they may choose sites which may be unfeasible for the applicant.

Mr. Fujimura recalled that sites were chosen scientifically for "optimum extraction" and asked if BWS and the applicant's consultant would have chosen different sites. Mr. Kuioka said sites were previously chosen but he had not compared them to the applicant's. He felt all three exploratory wells should be drilled to determine what the total impact would be on the stream.

Discussion followed in regards to policy adopted in regards to action taken on Molokai's Highlands wells and what would be a compelling force to change that policy. Mr. Hardy replied that the current policy is a good one, whereby in areas where not much is known hydrologically it would be prudent to have the exploratory well go in before the water use permit. Ms. Loui said the difference in the Highlands project it would be the only well relied on for the golf course, therefore it would be stronger reliance on the investment. Mr. Tam added that in the case of the Molokai application there was no surface water interaction in question.

Chairperson Ahue asked if the USGS testimony would change staffs recommendation. Ms. Loui amended Recommendation 2.

Mr. Cox asked if the Commission's budget would allow for the exploratory wells. Ms. Loui replied that it does not.

In regards to the risk statement, Mr. Fujimura interprets it as being focused on the impact on the stream but asked what would be the assumption of risk regarding the policies the Commission may make in terms of reservation, etc. Mr. Tam stated that the permit being addressed is only a well construction permit for one well and the reliance issue involved is the expense and time in doing the well. The issue about reservation with regard to DHHL and other claims does not arise here but in the water use decision, which would be taken up in the future.

Dr. Lewin asked Mr. Meyer how valuable the information regarding the interaction of ground/surface water would be. Mr. Meyer said there is a larger need to understand the relationship between ground/surface water and that it is of significant value to the State.

Motion was made to accept staff recommendation with the following modification to Recommendation 2:

" ... invite the applicant to resubmit a well construction permit application for approval for Makalii III prior to July 15. 1993 for exploratory and hydrologic testing purposes only. Further, that agreement on the methodology to test for ground and surface water interaction will be required prior to approval of the well construction permit."

Mr. Nakata commented that he would support the recommendation but that he will not necessarily support the construction permit when it comes before the Commission.

Mr. lng asked if both wells were currently permitted. Mr. Hardy said the first well is permitted as far as construction but not for the water use permit portion. He explained that previously the caprock was not an aquifer that needed scrutiny, therefore no water use permit was required at that time. Mr. Ing asked if the condition that a monthly water use be reported was explained to the applicant and if they could do it.

Mr. Glenn Saike, the agricultural instructor at McKinley, stated that when the project was started they were not aware of the permits involved. Because the project is being regulated the water use information can be submitted to the Commission. The next well will expand their facility. Part of the program will be to have the students calculate the amount of water for each tank.

Unanimously approved (Fujirnura/Ing).

RESUBMmAL: APPUCATIONS FOR WATER USE PERMITS EWA CAPROCK GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA, EWA. OAHU

Mr. Hardy stated that said the following amendments be made to the Conditions:

3. ...in Exhibit 2, except for Gently Pacific's well sources. Staff will be working with Gentry to associate water use permits for each well with each project individually within their total required allocation as shown in Exhibit 3.

5. Within one (1) year the applicants shall jointly submit a plan ...

7. ...Ewa Cap rock Regional Plan and its two main components which shall be coordinated by the Commission on Water Resource Management.

Mr. Cox asked how would staff know that the applicants are complying with Conditions 7 and 8. Mr. Hardy stated that because the permits are temporary for one year, at that time staff will know whether or not it has been done.

Ms. Donna Goth presented Campbell Estates concerns regarding their water needs, although they supported staffs concept of the recommendations. Ms. Goth explained that the City has requested that they redesign the regional park for the community to incorporate a larger grass area than had been originally planned. The park will be dedicated to the City and County. The park cannot be established with the current water allocation and the first year is critical in establishing the grass areas. Therefore, Ms. Goth asked that the original request of 6000 gpd be approved rather than the suggested 3000 gpd to establish the larger grass area. Salt tolerant grasses and drainage issues are being discussed with the City.

Mr. Cox sympathized with Campbell Estate but was concerned about finding a way to recharge the caprock for the one year it would take the park to be established.

Mr. Martin of NHAC submitted testimony (see Commission files) stating that because of "changing land use conditions in Ewa and the potential for return of federal lands as reparations to Native Hawaiians", the Hawaiian community as well as DHHL, OHA, and the Paheehee Ridge Hawaiian Homestead Association should also participate in the revision of the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan. Mr. Martin added that although he was not sure if DHHL or OHA were required to participate, for planning purposes he felt there should be some consistency in policy application. He added that OHA and DHHL has trust responsibility to advocate for Hawaiians but as far as he could tell they have not submitted any comments. Mr. Martin said DHHL staff stated they would be submitting "something". These issues need to be addressed and NHAC would be interested in serving in some form of liaison capacity to achieve this participation.

Mr. Cox commented that some of the Hawaiian groups have not shown any interest and may not want to participate. This study should also be coordinated with DOH, City and County Sewer Dept., etc. Mr. Hardy said he so no reason why OHA or DHHL could not participate in the planning process. The scope of the planning process is to make this wastewater use come to fruition and to see what the effects would be on the caprock. In terms of planning, Mr. Cox stated that it was not the responsibility of the Commission but that of the City and Land Use Commission. Mr. Hardy added that the Commission's planning portion is the Hawaii Water Plan, specifically, ithe Ewa Caprock Regional Plan would be incorporated in the Oahu Water Plan.

Chairperson Ahue stated that DHHL may be looking at land uses in that area as well as HFDC.

Mr. Douglas Ing excused himself from action on this item.

Motion was made to:

1) Amend Campbell Estates' water use from 3000 to 6000 gpd 2) Accept staffs amended recommendations as stated above

Refer to Exhibit 2 for the listing of the pending applicants in the Ewa Caprock.

Background

The Commission was originally presented this submittal on March 17, 1993' but deferred action on it to afford further review by the applicants and general public.

The Ewa Caprock Aquifer, formerly under Chapter 177, HRS, was officially adopted by the Commission under 174C on March 3, 1993 without any official sustainable yield estimate. Existing applicants have had pending water permit applications prior to this official adoption. Specific information regarding the source, use, notification, objections, and field investigation(s) are described in Attachment A and the attached exhibits.

Analysis & Issues

State and County general plans and policies have directed urban development to the Ewa area and that a dual water system serve the potable and non-potable water demands for this development. It was anticipated that the Ewa Caprock Aquifer was to be the major non-potable source for the non-potable needs of various developments. However, the Ewa Cap rock is an aquifer in transition and may only be a temporary alternative source of water for irrigation. The reasons for this are as follows:

1. E~a Caprock Aquifer is presently a reliable brackish source suitable for irrigation mainly because of imported recharge' due to past and present irrigation practices of Oahu Sugar Co. (QSCo.)

2. As sugarcane production overlying the aquifer is replaced by urban development this man-made source's salinity throughout the aquifer will increase due to

'decreasing imported recharge.' Chloride concentrations may increase to presugarcane levels which would make it less reliable and probably unsuitable for most types of irrigation.

3. The future of OSCo.· is uncertain but is vital for the importation of recharge to the caprock aquifer. Additionally, OS Co.'s past irrigation practices have increased basal sustainable yields in Pearl Harbor which, in tum, may have increased leakage into the caprock from the basal aquifers. Should OSCo. go out of business in 1995 the caprock will definitely be impacted.

4. There are plans for creating the Ewa Marina which would cut into the caprock and may affect the salinity levels in other areas of the caprock. Trench testing and computer modelling studies have yet to determine or quantify the marina impacts thus, the future of this marina and its impacts are uncertain.

ITEM 5

. ' •


5. Hydrologic studies to date by Mink & Nance.have estimated that the potential sustainable yield for useful brackish water in ihe absence of OSCo. may be less • than 10 mgd in the Puuloa area, less than 5 mgd in the Kapolei area, and less than? 1 mgd in the Malakole area of the caprock (Exhibit 1). There are no firm~ estimates than these although staff is working with the applicants to produce an updated computer model which can help to better determine the caprock's overall sustainable yield behavior.

6. To date, no firm alternative recharge·solution has been finalized to replace the anticipated loss of OSCo. recharge.

The applications pending (Exhibit 2) reflect the immediate non-potable needs of urban development in the Ewa area. Obviously, this will increased non-potable water demands from the Ewa Caprock Aquifer above current pumpages which include OS Co.'s needs.

The pending water use permit applications listed in Exhibit 2 have exceeded the normal application processing deadlines because: 1) there is uncertainty regarding the caprock's immediate and long-term viability and sustainable yield; and 2) total pending requests (6.340 mgd) combined with existing allocations (19.604 mgd) exceed the unofficial estimates. The Commission had taken the cautious position of deferring these applications until there are further assurances of the protection and optimum development of the caprock aquifer.

On October 14, 1992, the Commission took action to provide the State Housing Finance and Development Corp. with temporary permits, valid until January 1993, for dust control and project start-up needs. Although temporary permits are not defined by the Code or Rules they are useful in this situation. In one respect, temporary water use permits are analogous to interim water use permits good for only a limited time as is provided by §13-171-20(b). Although interim permits were meant for verification of existing users staff feels that they serve a valid basis for protecting the resource while temporarily providing for immediate needs.

In the meantime, staff has been working closely with the applicants, other developers in the Ewa area, Department of Health, and the City & County of Honolulu to produce the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan:' This plan provides the following:

'1.l Updating the land use zoning, acres, and type of land use to project yearly authorized planned non-potable water demands to 1996; and

2. · Guidance for the production of alternative non-potable sources to supplement, replace, or enhance the caprock source in anticipation of sugarcane recharge disappearing.

Exhibits 3 & 4 summarize the first part of the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan by analyzing the existing applicants, and others, in regards to land use and projected nonpotable water needs. Exhibit 3 shows the updated projected demands of the pending applicants for the year 1993. The updated zoning and acreage information has been supplied by the applicants and verified by staff. However, projections calculations made by the applicants were varied and lacked consistency in the gpd/acre figures. Since these applicants are competing users for ground water from an aquifer under sustainable yield transition, staff has revised the gallons per day per acre (gpd/acre) figures for type of land use to be fair, consistent, and to accommodate all the applicants while considering protection of the aquifer. Gpd/acre figures used by the staff were assessed by staff through Hawaii Water System Standards 1985, county consumption guidelines, discussions with other government agencies for dust control, and existing water use report information on golf courses in the Ewa Area (see Exhibit 5). The staff considers these estimates reasonable, consistent, and fair to all users in the Ewa Caprock area at this time.

The second part of the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan has been to find and develop a feasible alternative non-potable source to provide an immediate backup to the caprock source when sugarcane cultivation over the Ewa Plain ceases and/or when OSCo. completely stops cultivating sugarcane. Through ongoing round table meetings and correspondence, the most promising alternative source at this time is to treat approximately 13 mgd of Honouliuli wastewater to Class A quality requirements which would allow the direct application of such reuse water on irrigated land and or by reinjection. The City & County is preparing a request for proposal to construct and operate a tertiary treatment process to treat the wastewater to Class A quality. The distribution systems seriously being considered to deliver this water to users and provide recharge to the caprock are: 1) the caprock aquifer through reinjection wells, 2) the caprock aquifer through percolation basins, and 3) direct piping distribution system. Reinjection would be the most desirable distribution solution given the land area constraints but may require substantial time for DOH to approve. Percolation basin recharge is tentatively being promoted by DOH as a more immediate solution but this may require significant land area. Direct distribution is desirable because it can more effectively control and measure consumption although this alternative will most likely be the most expensive delivery system.

I .• ·2 .--T?,f;'\ From· the first portion of the Ewa Cap rock RegionaL Plan, staff has updated

information from the March 17, 1992 submittal and has cqficluded that the reasonable total additional required allocations for the next year is~.SS6~mgd (See Exhibit 3, p.2). If approved, this additional allocation would bring the overall total allocations in the Ewa Caprock td~2:160 mgd. This would exceed the unofficial sustainable yield limit (16 to 21 mgd) under present field conditions by'1.160 to 6.160 mgd! The apparent overallocation average would be 3.660 mgd but, again, no sustainable yield has been officially adopted by the Commission. ->;>.'·'''

,., t, '?·

If the Commission were to allocate to the applicants according to Exhibit 3, there are_two (2) additional issues that provide the Commission and the caprock aquifer with a certain degree of protection and may remedy the apparent overallocation problem. First, the existing water use permit for the Makakilo Golf Course is not a real demand upon the

· '1. 1 Caprock Aquifer. The reason for this is that Well No. 1904-02, is presently not pumped ,. '/ ~ /< .. l~ , , 1 because under the conditions of the previous application the brackish water was to be .... ~·:,.. ,,.r' desalinized. No desalinization mechanism is in place at this time, therefore it is unlikely

. , 1, · . , that the well will be pumped anytime soon. Additionally, staff has found that the operating entity which applied for the permit applicant no longer exists. No transfer of permit has been requested of or submitted to the Commission. This permit may be

. 1

.· ... revoked by the Commission if the source is not used by'March 15, 1994,b~t.~~~l~-~~t-- L d,r;/ preclude the Commission from seeking an earlier revocation of the permit w1ili ilie _f;..,

7'1

consent of the permittee. The second item which provides some cushion to the Commission is the fact that the largest user of caprock water, OS Co., underpumps their caprock allocations..!>~ mgd. Combined, these two non-utilized allocations amount to approximatelt?'.314 m~d) This amount of unused caprock water is in excess of the average apparent overalldcation of 3.660 mgd. It would be reasonable to say that the aquifer is not endangered under current field conditions for the next, or possibly more, year(s) until land use drastically changes.

Although staff is continually updating the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan through meetings and correspondence, there are very real immediate needs which require nonpotable water for construction, dust control, and the economic feasibility of affordable housing. Staff feels that these issues are in the interest of the public and that temporary permits are necessary to address these issues. As a requirement of obtaining a temporary permit the applicant must commit to the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan by participating in, abiding by, and contributing to the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan components of updating projected demands and the development of an alternative non-potable source.

ITEM 1

• 0 MINUTES OF lllE MARCH 3, 1993 MEEllNG

Clarification was made by Conunissioner Ing with respect to Item 7. The motion was not to approve the staffs recommendation as amended but to adopt the proposed North, Central, Pearl Harbor, and Honolulu ground water management sectors as shown on Exhibit 2 and including the individual systems shown within those sectors. Mr. Ing explained that the last two sentences of the recommendation were not meant to be a part of the motion. Also, the numbers shown on Exhibit 2, with respect to North, Central, Pearl Harbor, and Honolulu sectors were meant to be included.

Unanimously approved as amended (Nakata/Ing).

MAUl DEPARTMENT OF WATER SUPPLY APPUCATIONS FOR PUMP INSTAllATION PERMITS. WAKIU A. MOKUHAU 2. AND WAIPUKA 2 WEllS. MAUl

Staff recommendation was unanimously approved (Ing/Nakata).

KAUAI DEPARTMENT OF WATER APPUCATIONS FOR PUMP INSTAllATION PERMITS. MAKA RIDGE AND HAENA WEllS. KAUAI

Mr. Sakoda added that for Items 2 and 3, because these are county municipal wells, an air line and accurate elevation will be required when the pumps are set so water levels can be tracked.

Acting Chairperson Cox asked about the chloride history in the area because the pump capacity is being increased. Although there are no problems with the chlorides, Mr. Sakoda emphasized they need to keep track of the water level so that it does not go down below the pump bowls for Haena and Maka Ridge wells.

Mr. Nakata asked if there was any data on the actual capacities and pumpage. Mr. Sakoda replied that although they did have the capacities, he was not sure if they had good data on the pumpage. Mr. Bauer added that the county does not have meters on the wells. The County estimates pumpage based on customer usage. A meter will be required as a condition of this pennit.

Mr. Martin ·presented testimony (see Commission file) that his questions were similar for Items 2 and 3. He felt that if some of those questions were incorporated into the submittals it would be easier to review. Mr. Cox commented that Mr. Martin had some good questions/comments and asked staff to review his testimony and determine whether or not the format should be changed.

Staff recommendation was unanimously approved (Nakata/Ing).

STANHOPE FARMS APPUCATION FOR A WATER USE PERMIT. STANHOPE FARMS WEU. (WELL NO. 3308-02) MOKULEIA GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA. WAIALUA. OAHU

Acting Chairperson Cox asked if this application was for an existing use and whether or not the applicant registered his use. Mr. Hardy replied that it was an existing use that was registered by the applicant.

Mr. Martin said the issue of permitting and the procedural approach being taken in ground water management areas has been of concern to NHAC (see testimony in file). The concerns were: comprehensive evaluation of water use permits, reservations to Hawaiian Home Lands, and allocations to the County .

• 2 •

ITEMS

0 Dr. Lewin stated that although Mr. Martin's comments are well taken, he assumed staff recommendation was made because the use is relatively small compared to the relatively large amount of water available for use. Mr. Hardy agreed with Dr. Lewin. He stated that this area is an existing water management area as opposed to a new water management area.

Unanimously approved as submitted (Lewin/Nakata).

In regards to Mr. Martin's comments on reasonable beneficial use, Mr. lng mentioned that under existing uses in Rule 13-171-14, there is a section that states:

"whether the existing use is a reasonable beneficial use and is allowable under common law shall be determined by the Commission after a hearing"

He asked if this was something that needed to be determined by the Commission in connection with this application. If so, he recommended that the language be added to the recommendation. Discussion followed on the amount of water being requested and its uses. It was decided that staff would consult with Mr. Tam on the question of whether or not Rule 13-171-14(b) should be added to the recommendation in regards to reasonable beneficial use

Approved subject to review by the Attorney General's office regarding review Rule 13-171-14(b) on reasonable and beneficial use and how it applies to this application (Nakata/lng).

RESUBMITfAL. MINAMI GROUP (USA). INC. APPUCATION FOR A WATER USE PERMIT. MINAMI 1 & 2 WEllS (WELL NOS. 2347-02 & 03). KOOlAUPOKO GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT ARFA KANEOHE. OAHU

Mr. Nakata excused himself from action on this application since he sits on the Board of the Minami Foundation. Dr. Lewin stated he had to give testimony at the Legislature and since Mr. Fujimura had not arrived yet, suggested a recess be called. It was decided that discussion would be held on this application until a quorum was present for action.

Mr. Hardy reviewed updated information for this application. Mr. Hardy mentioned that representatives from DHHL and BWS were available to answer questions from the Commission.

Charley Ice from DHHL agreed that they did not have specific objections to the project and that they provided comments to the effect that many of the applications that are circulated for review do not include pertinent facts that might help them evaluate the application. In this case, it was not clear if the application was for a present use or a proposed new use. Although reluctant to suggest proper procedure because they are a sister agency, DHHL favored the idea of looking at all of the competing uses within a designated area.

Mr. lng recalled that from information at the last meeting that the applicant was actually using the water from the well prior to the designation. Therefore, while it is a very recent use, the claim is very likely to be that it was an existing use.

Mr. Ice stated that their staff has been working with Commission staff to recommend mechanisms by which the Commission could reserve water for Hawaiian Home lands.

Mr. Hardy added that staff has been trying to develop an easier process by which other agencies and interested parties could respond more quickly.

frEM 6

Mr. Alwyn Morisako representing BWS stated that they are not looking at this area for any source development, therefore they did not have any objections to the permit request.

Acting Chairperson Cox asked if BWS was not interested because it is a high-level aquifer in the alluvium. Mr. Morisako said that was correct, also it was a small source of perched water which they felt they could not develop.

A recess was called at 10:12 a.m. and reconvened at 10:40 a.m.

Mr. Sean Hoolihan, golf course superintendent, reviewed the project.

Dr. Lewin requested that the DOH golf course conditions be added to the pennit. Mr. Sakoda explained that those conditions are added for all wells for proposed new golf courses but since this was an existing golf course it was not added. Mr. Cox stated that it could be added.

Unanimously approved with the added DOH conditions for golf courses (Lewin/Fujimura).

APPUCATIONS FOR WATER USE PERMrrs. EWA CAPROCK GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA, EWA. OAHU

A. STAFF UPDATE

Ms. Loui stated that the documentation of the caprock model developed by Tom Nance and Tony McNulty for a group of developers (Haseko, Campbell Estate, Gentry, and HFDC) was given to staff for review. The model was reviewed by staff, USGS, Dan Lum of Water Resource Associates, and Chester Lao of BWS. Mr. Ed Boike of USGS, a retired USGS ground water modeling expert, is with the Commission staff on an inter-agency loan program with USGS.

Mr. Boike gave an overview of what he thought of the model and what the Commission needs to do to use a model for decision-making in the caprock area. His written comments are attached. Further discussion followed regarding the model.

Ms. Loui explained that staffs intent was to have Mr. Boike develop a new model or to assist with the Ewa Marina's proposal to develop models of the caprock. In discussions with the Ewa Marina group it was brought up that there would be difficulty in ascertaining the local effect without developing a model of the region. Mr. Glenn Bauer reviewed staffs opinion of the proposed marina's effects on the aquifer.

Messrs. Nelson Lee introduced Alan Suwa (also from Haseko) and Dr. Brendan Harley of Camp Dresser McKee (CDM) from Boston. Mr. Lee explained that Haseko's efforts to build the marina in that area have encouraged them to extensively examine the caprock. As a result, there is better understanding today than there was several years ago. Dr. Harley has met with the Commission staff to examine what Haseko could do to go forward and the mitigation necessary should the marina impact surrounding land uses and the future of the caprock as a resource. They are aware that there are concerns and initiated efforts first with the Nance model to examine what is going on. External reviews have shown that there are a number of shortcomings and realize that more extensive efforts will be necessary to quantify what is going on. Mr. Lee proposed the new model be done with agency input so when the process is completed they would have something that would ·address everyone's concerns as well as accomplishing Haseko's objective to obtain a permit.

- 4 -

0 Dr. Harley conunented on developing similar models for large scale water management planning in California, the East Coast, Long Island, and Florida. In regards to the Conunission's question on time frame, there are two distinct time frames:

1) local modeling around the marina area and its fine tuning (approximately six months)

2) regional modeling - two-dimensional not adequate and needs to be changed to a three-dimensional model (minimum of two years: one year to do the first draft and another year to fine tune the model and then it needs to be tested)

Mr. Lee added that the model will be used as a management tool. He wanted assurance in regards to what the objective would be, how the model would be used, and who the model would belong to/who would administer it.

In regards to reclaimed water, Ms. Loui stated staff would like to encourage participation in a reclaimed water plan. Meetings have been held with the Ewa developers and the city. She introduced Mr. James Hon.ke from the Waste Water Management Division from the City. The City's agreement to issue an RFP for the second waste water treatment facility in the Ewa area propelled the plan. She understood that facility would treat 13 mgd by 1996 and that a private concern would receive the primary treated effluent and then market the treated water for direct reuse.

Mr. Hon.ke presented the concerns of the city:

1) If a high level of treatment for reuse is provided, there is no mechanism for them to recover the cost from the ultimate users.

2) If a plan to inject sewage effluent into the aquifer is approved, there are nutrients in the sewage that can impact coastal waters if the sewage effluent is not balanced with the amount that is pumped.

3) It is not known what level of treatment is needed since the guidelines that are being developed for reuse are still not finalized.

4) If there is no market for the reuse they would prefer . not to treat the effluent for reuse because of the cost factor.

The present daily flow from Honouliuli is 25 mgd. The City is planning to construct a 15 mgd capacity reuse plant and is currently designing a secondary process plant. They have not yet started on the design of subsequent treatment that would be required to get to reuse quality. Mr. Hon.ke stated they are developing a.n RFP to see if a private entity would be willing to undertake construction of a reuse facility, water reclamation facility, and distribution system. For a private entity to come forward would depend on the available markets. The markets are determined by what other sources of water are available. Mr. Honke stated that all these factors need to be tied together before a well thought out plan can be developed.

Dr. Lewin stated that issues brought up by Mr. Honke were not so much concerns, but choices. In regards to the cost of secondary treatment to taxpayer vs. developers, Dr. Lewin stated that the Conunission has the ability to transfer those costs to developers. The Conunission can require people who develop golf courses or who have· large expansive lands that need to be irrigated to use secondary treated water. Therefore, a market is being created. To bring water from the windward side to Ewa at a tremendous cost is "short-term thinking, not long-tenn thinking". Secondai}' treatment is not something that is an option but will be

0 required more and more. Dr. Lewin stated that this is a very complex issue that requires thinking in a broad rather than narrow sense and that the water needs of the entire island should be looked at to understand how the Conunission's decisions will proceed.

Mr. Honke commented that the Wastewater Branch has actively been discussing reuse to see if markets could be developed. The Conunission's issuing temporary permits was an indication that markets would be available. If permanent permits were to be issued there would be no markets.

B. ACilON

Mr. Hardy presented the staff submittal for Commission action.

Mr. Barry Edwards of Gentry Hawaii requested that action be deferred on the staffs recommendations because of the far ranging procedure being proposed. He stated he only received the submittal for review the day before the meeting and it was not enough time for review.

Ms. Donna Goth, Director of Development for the Estate of James Campbell, commented that they filed for use of non-potable water supply in 1991. Subsequent to the application they proceeded with their development and was concerned because the development will need the water allocation. Ms. Goth described their development and water needs. Ms. Goth stated that Campbell Estate needs 300,000 gpd not 171,000 gpd. Th.is is for the planned vegetation which is more lush than the xeriscape or desert type of vegetation.

Mr. Martin expressed concerns that more comprehensive public discussions were needed before any action is taken on the staffs recommendations. He felt the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan should continue to be revised With greater participation by the DHHL, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and the Hawaiian community because of the changing land use conditions in Ewa and the potential for return of federal lands as reparations to the Native Hawaiians.

Mr. Nakata said as water availability becomes a more pressing issue, it becomes "incumbent on the DHHL and OHA to become more active in this process". If they do not, he felt it was a dereliction of their duty.

Ms. Lola Mench representing the Sierra Club and Kahaluu Neighborhood Board, questioned the issue of temporary pennits because of numerous questions that still need to be answered. She felt it may be a threat to Windward Oahu waters.

Mr. Ing asked to be excused from acting on this application because his law firm represents one of the parties.

Dr. Lewin recommended that action be deferred until the April 28th meeting. Unanimously approved (Lewin/Nakata).

Mr. Fujimura suggested that those persons suggesting other approachs come up with more concrete ideas.

KOOLAU AGRICULTURAL CO .. LTD. APPUCATION FOR A WATER USE PERMIT. MAKAUI I. D. & Ill WEllS (WELL NOS. 3452-02. 3453-12 & 131. KAHANA GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA, WINDWARD OAHU

Acting Chairperson Cox stated that there would be no quorum and asked if the interested parties would like to present testimony for information only or wait until the April 18th meeting. Testifiers agreed to wait until the next meeting.

Analysis & Issues

The fact that BWS turned over their wells to the cemetery does not indicate "that the aquifer in this area is actually a non-potable source." It only means that BWS has chosen not to operate it as. municipal source because of the possibility that it may become nonpotable due to overlying land uses. Water quality data is needed to conclusively indicate that the aquifer is a non-potable source. The actions of BWS unfortunately point out the persistent difficulties in effectively coordinating land and water use planning.

What has been the "Impact to other wells ••• over the past four ( 4) years"?

The past three years have been dry. The recommended 150,000 gpd for 100 acres works out to 1500 gallons per acre per day (gad), which is equal to or greater than the diversified agriculture irrigation. requirement in similar areas. The recommended allocation may be excessive and deserves closer scrutiny.

Field verification of 7 out of 43 declared uses does not seem to be sufficient for estimating existing ground water use, and reveals nothing about surface water uses that might also be affected •. What do required monthly water use reports reveal about existing use? How many of the 43 declared groundwater uses submit monthly water use reports as required? When will field verification be completed? What information base was used to derive Oahu Water Management Plan estimates? What is the "Current 12-Month Moving Average Withdrawal" from the wells and the aquifer?

Public Notice:

Was direct notice of the application mailed to all declared water users in the hydrologic unit (all categories)? If not, why not?

Objections:

Without serving direct notice to potential objectors (such as all declared water users), and without field verification of declared uses, potential objectors are not afforded required due process and opportunity to file their objections.

Field Investigation

If the water source and existing use was investigated on July'20, 1990 and November 12, 1992, why isn't water usage, water levels, and chlorides from those dates reported in the "Detailed Information"?

NHAC remains concerned that all currently unpermitted uses, both existing and proposed, in all water management areas be evaluated equally and concurrently with regard to their "reasonable and beneficial use," competition with existing and future legal uses, and other relevant criteria. In this particular case, the concern is that the allocation of available water be comprehensively evaluated against permit applications on a regular schedule, not on a first-come, first-serve basis, and that reservations to Hawaiian Home Lands and allocations to the County be settled before any other evaluations commence.

Analysis and Issues

2. We should not assume that sugarcane production overlying the aquifer will only be replaced by urban development. There is great potential and opportunity for replacing sugarcane production with other agricultural practices that provide higher quality return water than that currently provided by sugarcane production.

~·~ ·:~ ,·:~~~~~·~= ~~:, ~~/~

• We should also recognize that more brackish caprock water may be desirable for certain replacement agricultural uses and other alternative lands uses, such as aquaculture, wetland farming, and wetland bioremediationjwaste treatment.

3. The future of OS Co. is not the sole criteria for the vitality of importing recharge and leakage to the caprock aquifer. Other vehicles for importing recharge and leakage exist and must be brought into the discussion.

Why is 1995 chosen as the potential date for osco. closing?

4. What is the Commission's current position with regard to its regulatory power over activities which "cut into the caprock?" We believe such activity should be considered groundwater extraction requiring well construction and water use permits. This is supported by the Water Code definition of "well."

5. These hydrologic studies estimate yield in the absence of recharge and leakage now provided by osco. operations, not in the absence of osco. itself.

6. NHAC would like to join the effort to develop and finalize firm alternative water source and recharge solutions. We also feel· that, because of changing land use conditions ·in Ewa and the potential for return of federal lands as reparations to Native Hawaiians, the Ewa Caprock Regional Plan should continue to be revised with greater participation by the Hawaiian Homes Commission, Office of Hawaiian· Affairs, and Hawaiian community concerns.

Item 7. Makalii Wells

RECOMMENDATION

NHAC concurs with the staff recommendation.

It is distressing that the submittal fails to report the litigation initiated by Koolau Ag· against the Commission. NHAC has on several occasions asked the deputy to publish this information in the monthly bulletin, along with announcement of any other litigation or contested case requests. It is imperative that the public be made aware of all legal actions impacting its Water Commission, so that these public judicial proceedings can be tracked and evaluated by concerned water users and public interests. While the Commission need not reveal the particulars of the case, it should. regularly publicize docket numbers and schedules for upcoming judicial proceedings in local and national arenas~

This letter supplements our Application for Water Use Permit received by your office on July 8, 1991.

Item No. 6 of the subject application (see Attachment 5) lists "Ewa Villages" as th.e location of the proposed water use. However, as indicated in our reply to your February 4, 1993, request for updated information on this application, the location of the proposed water use should be amended to read "Ewa Villages Project and the West Loch Project."

Attached are (1) Attachment 1, a TMK map of the Ewa Village and West Loch projects, showing specific areas in the projects where nonpotable water from the two caprock wells will be used, (2) Attachments 2 and 3, project maps of the West Loch and Ewa Villages projects, (3) Attachment 4, a revised table showing the TMK numbers, acreages, and estimated water usage, and usage dates for specific areas in the two projects, and (4) Attachment 5, our original Application for Water Use Permit. Please note that the well locations have shifted slightly from their earlier locations.

Ms. Rae M. Loui Deputy Director Page 2 March 8, 1993

Dear Ms. loui:

!'1'1f-'rD J8 P2 .· 37 -.i=il,jt-i-.U

Subject: Request for Updated Information On Water Use Permit Applications Puuloa Caprock Aquifer Well Nos. 2002-13 and 2102-23 (West loch Caprock Wells)

This is in response to your letter of February 4, 1993, requesting updated information about the subject caprock wells.

Background Information

The West loch Caprock Wells are intended to provide nonpotable caprock water to two separate City projects in the Ewa area: (1) the West loch Project (including the West loch Estate Subdivision, the West Loch Fairways Subdivision, and the West loch Golf Course) and (2) the Ewa Villages Revitalization Project. These projects are labelled on the attached TMK map (Attachment 1) and on the separate project maps (Attachments 2 and 3).

E. JAMES TURSE

DIRECTOR

GAIL M. KAITO

DEPUTY DIRECTOR

Both projects include parks, golf courses, greenbelts, and so forth, the approximate locations of which are shown on the TMK map (Attachment 1) and the separate project maps (Attachments 2 and 3). The greenbelts consist of small landscaped or grassed areas scattered throughout the two projects; the total acreage of the greenbelts is summarized on Attachment 4, though their TMK designations are necessarily approximate.

Responses to Your Questions

Our responses to Questions 1 through 5 of your letter are summarized on the attached table, Attachment 4.

Ms. Rae M. loui Deputy Director Page 2 February 16, 1993

0

Our response to Question 6: Conservation plans or methods for nonpotable uses, is as follows:

The project intends to use non-potable caprock water instead of potable water to irrigate the West loch and Ewa Villages Revitalization projects.

The irrigation system will utilize weather stations to monitor irrigation requirements and control water flow accordingly.

The system will be prepared to use treated effluent from the Honouliuli Sewage Treatment Plant when it becomes available.

If you require further information concerning these matters, please call Joseph Nose at 527-5324.

Dear~: 4/~ tr ~ ~ ~ents on West Loch Caprock Wells Draft Environmental Assessment

The Commission on Water Resource Management issued well construction pennits for the West Lock Caprock Wells (Well Nos. 2002-13 and 2102-23) in August 1991. There are pending water use pennit applications for the wells.

I am pleased that your staff has participated in the recent meetings on the proposed Ewa Caprock Regional Plan (for wastewater reuse). The plan would require that all proposed projects using non-potable water participate in the planning, funding, and implementation of alternative non-potable water sources in the Ewa Caprock area before they are granted any water use pennits. Pennits would be granted on a temporary (yearly) basis to active participants of the plan until the alternative sources come on line. The City & County Department of Public Works has recently agreed to developing an RFP for alternative wastewater reuse projects (see item 8 on enclosed Action Plan). As such, you may wish to include these recent developments into your final environmental assessment.

If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Rae M. Loui, Deputy Director, at 587-0214.

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) submitted the attached "Draft Environmental Assessment for the West Loch Caprock Wells" on September 16, 1992, for publication in the OEQC Bulletin. The draft assessment was prepared pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

DHCD proposes to drill two exploratory wells within the bounds of the Ewa Villages Revitalization project to test the viability of caprock water as a source of nonpotable water for nonresidential irrigation needs in the Ewa Villages Revitalization and West Loch projects. Should the two wells prove viable, permanent pumping and transmission facilities will be installed.

We would appreciate your review and receiving your comments relative to your area of interest and expertise by November 4, 1992. If you have any questions, please call Joe Nose at 527-5324.

D. Draft Environmental Assessment Prepared by:

Department of Housing and Community Development September 1992

Prooosed Project

The Department of Housing and Community Development {DHCD) proposes to have the Board of Water Supply drill two exploratory caprock wells in Ewa Villages {see Exhibit A).

Should the exploratory wells prove an adequate source of acceptable nonpotable water, a water use permit will be requested from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and permanent pumping, storage and transmission facilities will b~ developed and installed.

The proposed project is part of two on-going DHCD subdivision projects in Ewa: the Ewa Villages Revitalization project and the West Loch {Phases I and II) project. DHCD is retaining the R. M. Towill Corporation to master plan, design, and administer the infrastructure construction of both of these subdivision projects.

Need for Project

The wells are needed to supply nonpotable caprock water to satisfy the ~ubstantial landscape irrigation needs of the West Loch and Ewa Villages projects. Both City and State agree that nonpotable water should be used for landscape irrigation whenever possible to reserve potable water for residential use.

The West loch and Ewa Villages projects' irrigation needs are summarized as follows:

PROJECT/AREA MILLION GALLONS PROJECT STATUS PER DAY

West loch Golf Course 0.86 Existinq

West loch Shoreline Park 0.24 Existing

West loch Greenbelt 0.20 Existing

West loch District Park 0.13 Existing

Ewa Villages Golf Course 1.30 Construction in 1993

Ewa Villages Greenbelt 0.24 Construction in 1993

Ewa Mahiko Regional Park 0.15 Construction in 1993

TOTAL IRRIGATION REQUIREMENT 3.12

At this time, the two caprock wells are expected to supply approximateiy 2 million gallons of brackish water per day of this total need. Other sources of water will be the existing Ewa Pump Number 2 well and a planned pump to capture leakage at West loch Golf Course Hole No. 10.

The estimated total acreage to be irrigated is 600 acres.

Community Reaction

The landowner, Campbell Estate, and the lessee, Oahu Sugar Company, were each notified of the proposed project in letters dated June 10, 1992. Neither returned any comment about the project.

Propo~d Action

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD} proposes to have the Board of Water Supply drill two exploratory caprock wells in Ewa Villages.

Each temporary drilling site will occupy an area approximately 200 ft. by 200 ft. Drilling will take about six months.

-2-

' l ' ' 0 0

Each permanent pumping facility will occupy 3,000-5,000 square feet. Storage ponds for the pumps' output will be incorporated as water features in the golf course.

The Estate of James Campbell Ms. Jan Burns 828 Fort Street Mall, Suite 500 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813

The City and County of Honolulu is currently acquiring the Ewa Villages project lands by eminent domain. Pursuant to a court order dated June 26, 1992, and award of possession as of July 9, 1992, the City has possession of the proposed project site, and expects to obtain legal title to the site in August 1993, after obtaining .a Final Order of Condemnation.

Oahu Sugar Company

See attached maps, Exhibit B.

Both wells will be drilled in Oahu Sugar sugar cane fields. The final exact locations of each well are being coordinated between the Board of Water Supply, which will drill the wells, and DHCD's consultant, who is designing the future Ewa Villages Golf Course where the wells will eventually be located. These fields have been been harvested.

Currently, the first test well, No. 2102-23, will be located in a cane field, approximately 1000 feet away from the nearest home in Fernandez Village, approximately 1500 feet from the grounds of the Ewa Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, and approximately 1400 feet from the grounds of the Ewa Elementary School.

Currently, the second test well, No. 2002-13, will be located in a cane field, approximately 700 feet from the nearest existing homes in Tenney Village on Uluhui Street and Paaniana Street. The Tenney Center buildings and athletic fields are closer to the drilling site, but they are abandoned.

The proposed project will be located in Oahu Sugar Company's sugar cane fields.

The two test wells are within the boundaries of the on-going Ewa Villages Revitalization Project. Both wells, should they become permanent, will be located in the Ewa Villages Golf Course (see Exhibit B, Future Site Conditions).

Zoning: Ag-1

Development Plan Designation: Currently designated "Agriculture" on the Department of General Planning Development Plan land Use Map for Ewa. Current plans call for an application to redesignate the area "Park/Golf Course" to be submitted in January 1993.

State land Use District: Urban

Water Management Area: Pearl Harbor Ground Water Control Area (PHGWCA)

Existing Use: Sugar cane cultivation

Surrounding Uses: Oahu Sugar Co.'s sugar cane fields, Fernandez Village, Ewa Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Ewa Elementary School, residences in Renton Village and Tenney Village, and unused buildings and land.

Proposed Future Use: The Ewa Villages area is being developed by· the City and County of Honolulu as a master-planned community containing a golf course, park, shopping area, civic/community facilities, rehabilitated plantation homes, and new affordable and market-priced homes.

/

Flood Zone: The proposed project is currently located in Zone D - Areas in which flood hazards are undetermined. Future permanent pumping facilities will also be located Zone D.

Estimated Cost: ·$80,000-$100,000 total for drilling two wells. Bids were opened on August 20, 1992. The low bid was $79,010.00.

~pecial Management Area:

Alternatives Considered

I. No action.

0

Permanent pumping, storage and transmission facilities are estimated at $750,000.

Project does not lie within the Special Management Area.

Taking no action would conflict with current City and State policy to develop available nonpotable water sources for irrigation. Since the Ewa plains are a known source of nonpotable caprock water, DHCD is obliged to explore its use for its irrigation needs in the area.

If no action were taken, West Loch irrigation requirements could be met by existing potable sources, which are currently being strained, and Ewa Villages requirements could possibly be met by requesting reallocations from existing wells potable in the area. This action is undesirable, since it would use potable water for nonresidential irrigation.

If no action were taken and reallocation of potable or nonpotable water to Ewa Villages were not possible, the future of the irrigation of Ewa Villages might be jeopardized.

2. Other locations for the wells.

The two wells are located away from existing and future residential areas and, according to current plans, will be located on the future golf course; however, other golf course sites could be considered.

Caprock wells could be located in other areas of the Ewa Villages project, notably towards the southwestern portion of the project, where a future hookup to the Honouliuli Sewage Treatment Plant may be expected. However, other locations might be further away from the golf course they are intended to serve, further away from the West Loch project, and further away from the golf course water features, which are intended as storage for the nonpotable water.

3. Use of treated effluent from the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant.

PHCD and other parties are currently investigating use of treated effluent from the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant to irrigate Ewa Villages, the West loch project, and other developments in Ewa. Unavailable now, treated effluent is a potentially good future alternative to the proposed use of caprock water.

-5-

-----------------------------------------------

' ' 0 0

Accordingly, in anticipation of the eventual availability of this treated effluent, DHCD is designing its irrigation system so that it will be able to draw from both the caprock wells and from the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant.

At this time, however, DHCD views the use of treated effluent as a possible adjunct to, and not a substitute for, development of the caprock wells. DHCD must take this conservative position for two reasons:

1. At this time, no data are available on which to base a valid evaluation of the use of treated effluent:

State Department of Health requirements for the treatment of effluent are unavailable at this time.

The comparative costs and merits of various methods of treating Honouliuli effluent (e.g., treatment with activated charcoal vs. secondary treatment) to render it suitable for irrigation are unknown at this time.

The comparative costs and merits of using caprock water vs. effluent in the West loch and Ewa Villages projects are unknown at this time.

Data regarding the facilities needed to store and transmit the effluent and the time and cost to construct them are unavailable at this time.

The anticipated output of treated effluent from the Honouliuli Sewage Treatment Plant will be approximately 13 million gallons per day. Since there are at least eight other known subdivisions and golf courses in the area, future competition for these 13 million gallons of effluent may be significant, and the allocation that would be available to the West loch and Ewa Villages projects is unknown at this time.

2. The treated effluent is not scheduled to become available until the end of 1995 or 1996, i.e., when construction of the secondary treatment plant at Honouliuli is complete. By contrast, irrigation needs at the West loch project are immediate, and the Ewa Villages will need water towards mid-1993.

During the anticipated six-month construction period, there will be some noise from the drilling and testing of the wells. The contractor will be required to employ sound abatement equipment and procedures during test pumping if noise levels exceed standards of the Department of Health. During testing of the wells, the contractor will be required to immediately cease work upon complaints from nearby residents and will resume work only during hours to be determined by the Board of Water Supply.

Initially, working hours on the proposed project will be limited to the hours between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Noise from the permanent pumps can be minimized using standard procedures, including installing the pumps underground.

Towill Corporation, Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Ewa Villages Master Plan. Ewa. Oahu. Hawaii, February, 1991.

The short-term impact of the proposed project (test wells) may be to cause crop damage in two of Oahu Sugar's cane fields. Oahu Sugar will be compensated for this crop damage if fields are unharvested at the time of the well drilling.

Over the long-term, the proposed project is part of and isintended to facilitate the Ewa Villages project, which will convert these agricultural lands to residential or resort use.

As adduced in the Ewa Villages Master Plan, February 1991, the arguments minimizing the impact of this conversion are:

a. The viability of agriculture in the area is questionable, given State and County plans for continued urbanization in the area. The State Land Use Commission has classified the lands within the Ewa Village project as "Urban."

b. The acreage to be removed from agricultural use will have insignificant impact on agriculture on Oahu.

c. The acreage to be removed from agricultural use will not jeopardize the continued operations of Oahu Sugar Company in the immediate future.

H. Determination

It is determined that the proposed actions will have no significant impact on the quality of the human environment and that an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. This determination is made on the grounds that the potential environmental impacts of this project are easily mitigated or will have no adverse impact on the quality of the human environment.

1. Short-term increases in noise levels attributable to construction related activities will be mitigated through compliance with Title 11, Administrative Rules, Department of Health, Chapter 43, "Community Noise Controls for Oahu." Long-term increases in noise levels from the permanent pumping facilities can be minimized through standard insulating procedures.

2. Short-term escape of fugitive dust into the environment will be minimized by requiring the contractor to water the sites or use other approved means of dust control.

3. The impact of the proposed project on public services and facilities, and the visual impacts of the project on the current and planned project area are evaluated as minimal and not significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

4. The impact of the proposed project on agricultural lands is evaluated as minor over the short and long term.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. A review of our records shows that wells 2102-23 and 2002-13 will be located in lands that are currently in sugarcane cultivation or were previously cultivated. Since it is unlikely that historic sites that might have been present remain in old cane-fields we believe this project will have "no effect" on historic sites.

Dear Mr. Paty:

Subject: Ewa Villages Revitalization Project West Loch Project Cap Rock Wells

E. JAMES TURSE

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will be preparing an Environmental Assessment for the drilling of two exploratory cap rock wells in the Ewa Villages area. The assessment is being prepared pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 343, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

DHCD proposes to drill the two exploratory wells to test the viability of cap rock water as a source of nonpotable water for nonresidential irrigation needs in the Ewa Villages and West Loch Projects. The wells are part of a program to conserve potable water for residential use in the area. Should the two wells prove viable, permanent pumping and transmission facilities will be i nsta 11 ed.

Preliminary information on the project is attached. We would appreciate receiving your review and comments relative to your area of interest and expertise by June 26, 1992. If you have any questions, please call Joe Nose at 527-5324.

INFORMATION SHEET FOR

WEST LOCH CAP ROCK WELLS

0

The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) proposes to have the Board of Water Supply drill two exploratory cap rock wells in Ewa Villages.

Should the two exploratory wells prove viable sources of nonpotable water, a water use permit will be requested from the Department of Land and Natural Resources, the wells will be developed, and permanent pumping, storage and transmission facilities will be installed.

The wells are part of an overall nonpotable water program for the City's West Loch and Ewa Villages projects, both of which have substantial landscape irrigation requirements. It has been agreed by City and State that nonpotable water should be used for landscape irrigation whenever possible in order that potable water may be reserved for residential use.

The West Loch and Ewa Villages projects' irrigation needs are summarized as follows:

PROJECT/AREA MILLION GALLONS PROJECT STATUS PER DAY

West Loch Golf Course .86 Existing

West Loch Shoreline Park .24 Existing

West Loch Greenbelt .20 Existing

West Loch District Park .13 Existing

Ewa Village Golf Course .86 Construction in 1992

Ewa Village Greenbelt .13 Construction in 1992

Ewa Village Regional Park .13 Construction in 1992

TOTAL IRRIGATION REQUIREMENT 2.55

The two cap rock wells are expected to supply approximately 2 million gallons of brackish water per day of this total need.

The estimated total acreage to be irrigated is 600 acres.

rehabilitated plantation homes, and new affordable and market-priced homes.

Each exploratory well will cost approximately $75,000.

The first test well No. 2102-23 will be drilled on flat, unimproved, uncultivated ground, approximately 500' makai of Mango Tree Road and mid-way between a cane field road branching off of Mango Tree Road and the berm of a dry reservoir. The existing vegetation consists of dry brush, grasses, weeds, and small shrubs, predominantly haole koa less than 6' high. The nearest buildings are in Fernandez Village, the Catholic Church, and Ewa Elementary School, each approximately 800' from the well site.

The second test well No. 2002-13 will be drilled in an Oahu Sugar cane field.

The two test wells are within the boundaries of the on-going Ewa Village Revitalization Project. Current plans call for both wells, should they become permanent, to be located in the Ewa Golf Course: Well No. 2102-23 will be at the 2nd hole, and Well No. 2002-13 will be by the clubhouse (see Exhibit B).

There are no desirable alternatives to drilling these wells.

1. No action.

Taking no action would go against current City and State policy that nonpotable water should be used if it is available. Since the Ewa plains are a known source of nonpotable cap rock water, the Department of Housing is obliged to explore its use for its projects in the area.

If no action were taken, West Loch irrigation requirements could be met by existing sources, and Ewa Village requirements could be met by requesting reallocations from existing wells in the area. Again, this action is undesirable, since it would use potable water for nonresidential use.

If no action were taken and reallocation were not possible, the future of the Ewa Village irrigation would be in jeopardy.

-3-

0

2. Other locations for the wells.

The two wells are currently located away from residential areas and, according to current plans, will be located on the future golf course; however, other golf course sites could be considered.

Cap rock wells could be located in other areas of the future Ewa Villages Subdivision. However, other locations might be further away from the golf course they are intended to serve and further away from the West Loch project.

3. A possible reallocation of potable water to the Ewa Villages from the Honouliuli Sewage Treatment Plant, should it convert to nonpotable water, is being investigated, but reallocation is not certain. Again, even this possible reallocation would not meet the policy of using nonpotable water for nonresidential uses.

Technical Characteristics

The profile of the well is shown in Exhibit C.

The equipment used in drilling will be either a standard cable or percussive drill or a rotary drill.

Social Characteristics

The proposed action is located such that any noise or dust connected with its development and installation will have negligible impact on surrounding uses.

The proposed action will not result in the displacement of the individuals of businesses, destroy or displace any community facilities or alter the demographic, employment and income profile of the surroundings.

As Well No. 2002-13 will be drilled in a cane field, Oahu Sugar will be compensated for resulting crop damage.

As Well No. 2102-23 will be drilled on vacant land, there will be no immediate social consequences.

Any permanent pumping facilities will meet Department of Health noise requirements.

Aoplicable Land Use Controls

Parcel 17 is located within the State Land Use Commission Urban district boundary. It is designated for agricultural use on the City's Ewa Development Plan Land Use Map and is zoned AG-1. The wells will be located within the Ewa Villages Special District, should an ordinance to that effect be adopted.

Description of the Environmental Setting

A. Soils, Slope, Erosion

According to Foote, et al. (Soil Survev of the Islands of Kauai, Oahu. Maui. Molokai. and Lanai, State of Hawaii) the Honouliuli Clay, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is:

dark reddish brown, very sticky and very plastic clay throughout. the surface layer is about 15 inches thick. The subsoil and substratum have subangular blocky structure .... The soil is neutral to mildly alkaline.

Permeability is moderately slow. Runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is no more than slight.

B. Drainage and Water Resources

The two wells are located in Flood Zone D, where flood hazards are undetermined. Well #2002-13 is adjacent to Flood Zone AH, Special Flood Hazard Areas, subject to flooding in a 100-year storm to depths of 1-3 feet, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) studies. The existing drainage system for the Ewa Villages does not prevent occasional flooding.

Currently, potable water for the Ewa Villages is provided by six wells, one mile away in Honouliuli. Four million gallons per day are pumped from these wells for residential use; 10 million gallons per day are pumped for irrigation use.

The existing water system, maintained by Oahu Sugar Company, does not meet the Board of Water Supply standards. The existing wastewater system does not meet City and County of Honolulu standards.

The Ewa Plains cap rock sources have been a source of sugar cane irrigation water since 1930. Production of cap rock water peaked in 1981, when Ewa Plantation pumped an average of 30.61 million gallons per day from 12 cap rock wells. Production has declined since then, due to conversion of land use from sugar cane to housing and conversion of sugar irrigation method from furrow to drip irrigation. In 1991, 5 active, but part-time, wells pumped about 8.5 million gallons per day. In January 1992, 4 wells pumped an average of 6.87 million gallons per day.

The source of Ewa cap rock water is water deposited on the land surface which percolates down and recharges the cap rock. Since the Ewa area receives relatively little rain, rainfall is not a significant source of cap rock water; rather, human uses such as sugar cane irrigation are the primary source. The continued viability of Ewa cap rock water will depend on recharging by either {1) continued sugar cane production,

-5-

0 0

whose future is in doubt, or by (2) sources such as wastewater from the Honouliuli Sewage Treatment Plant, park or golf course irrigation, and runoff from urban areas.

C. Natural Resources

The two wells will be drilled on land designated AG-1, prime agricultural land, on the ALISH map.

D. Historical Sites

The Ewa Villages have been determined to be eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places; however, the wells themselves are not now located close to any historic structure.

E. Natural Hazards

There are no natural hazards in the vicinity.

F. Air Quality and Noise

The area is subject to noise from the Oahu Sugar's sugar cane operations during planting and harvesting. Aircraft noise from the Barbers Point Naval Air Station has been measured and found in compliance with the State Department of Transportation's limitations.

In general, air pollutants from vehicular, industrial, natural and agricultural sources do not exceed the Ambient Air Quality Standard of the State and the Nation. The area is subject to smoke from the periodic burning of sugar cane fields prior to harvesting.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM CONCERNS:

Thank you for the map showing the locations of the wells. A review of our records shows that there are no known historic sites at these locations. Furthermore, both locations were cultivated in sugarcane for many years. Therefore, we believe that water use permits, if approved, will have "no effect" on historic sites.

ITEMS

Motion was made to accept the request for extension, unanimously approved (Fujimura/Cox)

Dr. Chun asked staff to write to the Sierra Club to notify them that the Wailuku River Hydro Project item will be decided at the October 18th meeting in Honolulu.

GENTRY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY APPLICATION FOR WATER USE PERMIT AND PQMP INSTALLATION PERMIT. PALM VILLA IRRIGATION WELL. EWA. OAHU

Mr. Fujimura felt Condition No. 1 was too broad and that it would be logical to stop the pumping. It should show some sort of action similar to that in Condition No.2. Mr. Sakoda said solutions couldn't be made yet because the developers would be forced to stop since the grass can't take the salt. Staff had in mind the alternative of using re-use water. Dr. Lewin asked if the project was close enough to the Honouliuli Treatment Plant so the secondary treated sewage could be used for the project. Mr. Sakoda replied staff is hoping they can meet some of their future needs with that source.

Dr. Lewin mentioned that the State is requiring that all new increments of Honouliuli be secondary treatment, so far, no one has applied for that water. There are lots of projects in that area and that would reduce the demand on the ground water resources.

Mr. Cox asked if the operators of the wells in that area talking to staff whether they can use the sewage effluent and if they aren't, the Commission should start working with them to getting things moving before it's too late. Mr. Sakoda replied the water use plan would address that issue. Mr. Tagomori added that the landowner, Campbell Estate, has been participating in the research of the re-use project together with the State and the City and County to use the effluent for recharging the caprock. In addition, one of the long-range project for the damming of West Lock is also geared towards developing good quality brackish water to be used to recharge that particular area of the caprock. ·

Mr. Fujimura suggested the following change to Condition No. 1:

"The permit shall be subject to the Chairperson's approval of water use plan recommending possible measures to prevent or minimize saltwater contamination and establish courses of action to prevent the aquifer from becoming too saline to use. The applicant must follow the approved plan".

Unanimously approved as amended (Cox/Fujimura).

Gentlemen:

Gentry Development Company Application for Water Use Permit

Palm Villa Irrigation Well, Ewa, Oahu

Applicant: Gentry Development Company P.O. Box 295 Honolulu, Hawaii 96809

Action Requested: Approval of a water use permit and a pump installation permit to use 0. 08 million gallons per day (mgd) from Palm Villa Irrigation Well (Well No. 2002-13) for landscape irrigation use.

Place of Use: Water developed by this well will be used for landscape irrigation for the Palm Villa condominium project in Ewa.

Well Location: The well is located within the project area at Tax Map Key: 9-1-12:1 (see attached map). The well taps the Ewa caprock aquifer.

Impact on Surrounding Wells: The Palm Villa Irrigation Well is one of seven brackish water wells being developed in the Ewa cap rock aquifer. Five are to be used for multi-family landscape irrigation to meet the Honolulu Board of Water Supply's dual system requirement. The remaining two will be used for golf course irrigation. The combined draft is expected to be approximately 1. 39 mgd. Initial quantities and qualities from the seven sources are expected to be adequate. However, removal of sugar cane acreage will reduce recharge to the caprock aquifer resulting in increased chloride concentrations. The wells are expected to become increasingly saline unless steps are taken to increase recharge to the aquifer.

Public Notice: In accordance with DLNR Administrative Rules, a public notice was published in the Star Bulletin on July 27 and August 3, 1989. In addition, copies of the public notice were sent to the Mayor's office, the Department of Health, Oahu Sugar Company, the Estate of James Campbell, The Meyers Corporation, and Puu Loa Homes, Ltd. Written objections to the proposed permit were to be submitted to the Commission by August 17, 1989. No objections have been filed.

ITEM 3

Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management September 13, 1989

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Commission approve the issuance of a water use permit and a pump installation permit to Gentry Development Company for 0. 08 mgd of brackish cap rock water for landscape irrigation use from Palm Villa Irrigation Well.

The approval shall be subject to the requirements of other applicable laws, rules, and ordinances, and the following conditions:

(1) The permit shall be subject to the Chairperson's approval of a water use plan recommending possible measures to prevent or minimize saltwater contamination and establish courses of action to follow should the aquifer become too saline to use.

( 2) The Commission may reduce the amount initially granted the permittee should long-term pumpage from the well interfere with existing legal uses in the area.

(3) An approved flowmeter shall be installed to measure water withdrawals.

(4) The development of the ground-water source shall be completed within 24 months from the date of permit issuance.

RICHARD H. COX, P.E. GUY K. FUJIMURA


RAE M. LOUI, P.E.

DEPUTY

Your request to relocate West Loch Caprock Well No. 2002-13 approximately 3,000 ft. south to "location 1", shown on the accompanying map, is hereby approved. The well number remains the same.

Concerning your request to drill another exploratory well for Well No. 2102-23, which was unsuccessful and sealed, we prefer that the well be drilled at "location 2" rather than at "location 3" since "location 3" is approximately 600ft. from Gentry's Palm Court 3 Well (Well No. 2002-12). If "location 2" is acceptable your request to drill another well there is approved. The new well number assigned is Well No. 2002-14. If "location 3" is desired please have your staff call Ed Sakoda at 587-0225 to discuss the matter.

ES:ky encl.

If you have any questions please call Rae M. Loui, Deputy Director, at 587-0214.

Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Ahue:

Subject: West Loch Caprock Wells in Ewa Villages Well Nos. 2002-13, 2102-23

We request permission to move the location of Well No. 2002-13 to one of the three positions shown on the attached map and also to request permission to drill another exploratory well for Well No. 2102-23, which was unsuccessful.

The nature of exploratory wells is such that the results of drilling are not always favorable. In the case of Well No. 2102-23, the results were negative because the saturated portion was unproductive. The clay formations encountered did not warrant completion of the well. Instead, the well was backfilled with quarry waste and topped off with soil. We would like to drill another exploratory well in the new area at one of the three new locations shown on the attached map where the chances of success are greater. Funds not used in completing the well are still available for drilling another exploratory well.

Since no permitted use has been committed to these caprock wells, we understand that the permit is only for the purpose of drilling and testing to prove a developable source.

Thank you for your letter of May 30, 1991 acknowledging receipt of our application for permits to construct and install pumps in two wells at Ewa, Oahu (TMK 9-1-17:04).

This letter provides additional information to our application.

The objectives of our request are to convert EP-2 well from non-potable use to potable use and to use non-potable water for landscaping requirements wherever possible.

The projected non-potable water needs totalling 2.55 million gallons per day are as follows:

Project

1. West Loch Golf Course 2. West Loch Shoreline Park 3. West Loch Greenbelt 4. West Loch District Park 5. Ewa Village Golf Course 6. Ewa Village Greenbelt 7. Ewa Village Regional Park

Dear Mr. Tagomori:

Subject: WELL CONSTRUCTION AND PUMP ~TALLATION PERMIT APPLICATION WEST LOCH CAPROCK WELL NOS~1 AND 2 STATE WELL NOS. 2002-13 AND 2102-23 EWA, OAHU

Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the subject application. We have examined the applications and have the following comments to offer:

1. The applications indicate that the proposed wells will be limited to golf course, parks, and common area irrigation. Thus, the Department's Administrative Rules, Title 11, Chapter 20, "Potable Water Systems," will not be applicable. However, in the event that the proposed uses of the wells were to change, the Safe Drinking Water Branch must be notified.

2. The proposed wells are situated above the Underground Injection Control (UIC) line. Land areas above the UIC line are considered to contain underground sources of drinking water. Thus, it is essential that the wells be designed and constructed to prevent the possibility of groundwater contamination. For example, each well should have a concrete well pad and full grouting to prevent seepage or floodwaters from migrating down the well shaft.

3. If the irrigation system is supplemented with potable water, adequate measures must be taken to eliminate cross-connections and backflow conditions. The potable and non-potable water systems should be clearly labeled and physically separated by an air gap or an approved backflow preventer to avoid contaminating the potable water supply.

. ' . ._ 0 0 Manabu Tagomori June 5, 1991 Page 2

4. The operation of the proposed wells should not be allowed to adversely affect the water quality of any nearby wells. The map accompanying the application indicates that there are a number of wells in the vicinity of the proposed well sites.

If you should have any questions, please contact the Safe Drinking Water Branch at 543-8258.

Sincerely,

~L~· Environmental Management Division

SUBJECT: Well construction and Pump Installation P~it Application(s) west Loch Caprock Wells No. 1 & No. 2 Ewa Villaqes, Honouliuli, 'Ewa, O'ahu TMK: 9-1-17: portion 4

Thank you for the opportunity to review this application.

The well sites are within an area that was archaeoloqically surveyed by Cultural surveys Hawaii in 1990. we aqreed with their determination that it is unlikely historic subsurface sites have survived the many years of cane cultivation and land modification.

Therefore, we believe that the well construction and pump installation will have "no effect" upon siqnificant historic sites.

Dear Mr. Paty:

Well Construction and Pump Installation Applications

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the following permit applications:

~tikuiula-Alexander & ~aldwin (5428-02) Well & Pump vWest Loch Caprock Noy~ & 2 (2002-13, 2102-23)

The Kaua'i project does not impact Hawaiian home lands; we have no comments at this time.

It is difficult to assess the West Loch proposals without supporting cumulative information. We have been asked to review several proposals for this area, including several for use of brackish water for golf course and park use. We do not know how many of these are approved, are in service, and what impacts the pumpage is having on chloride and head levels.

Hawaiian home lands in Waianae were once subject to- a development moratorium due to inadequate water supplies. The Waianae Coast is dependent for much of its future water supply upon other island areas, such as the Pearl Harbor Aquifer and Ewa caprock.

DHHL anticipates the need to find additional sources t'or both potable and agricultural use in its developments on the Waianae Coast; we are concerned that limited supplies available for this future development are under great pressure to be allocated to large projects with private financing, as well as public projects at Kapolei.

~-·)

Q 0

We understand that a study of recharge to the Ewa caprock is underway. We are also interested in the recent studies of the sustainable yield of the "Waianae" portion of the.Pearl Harbor Aquifer. We look forward to a more comprehensive view of the likely impacts of brackish water p~mping from this area.

Thank you for this opportunity to express our concerns.

On April 28, 1993, the Commission on Water Resource Management (Commission) granted you a temporary water use permit for the use of 928,000 gallons per day of brackish water from the West Loch 1 & 2 Wells (Well Nos. 2002-13 & 14) for golf course and landscape irrigation at West Loch and Ewa Villages ... Your temporary water use permit for these sources is due to expire on April 28, 1994.



2. Guidance for' the production of alternative non-potable sources to supplement, replace, or enhance the caprock source in the absence of sugarcane irrigation return flow.

At this time, it is apparent that additional time will be required for full development and implementation of this plan. To address the existing non-potable needs of temporary permittees in the Ewa Caprock Aquifer, the Commission staff plans to submit a request for a one-year extension of the temporary permits at the Commission meeting tentatively scheduled for April 27,

RAE M. LOUI, P.E.

DEPUTY

Your request to relocate West Loch Caprock Well No. 2002-13 approximately 3,000 ft. south to "location 1", shown on the accompanying map, is hereby approved. The well number remains the same.

Concerning your request to drill another exploratory well for Well No. 2102-23, which was unsuccessful and sealed, we prefer that the well be drilled at "location 2" rather than at "location 3" since "location 3" is approximately 600 ft. from Gentry's Palm Court 3 Well (Well No. 2002-12). If "location 2" is acceptable your request to drill another well there is approved. The new well number assigned is Well No. 2002-14. If "location 3" is desired please have your staff call Ed Sakoda at 587-0225 to discuss the matter.

ES:ky encl.


Very truly yours,

h~L.-.~ KEITH W. AHUE

Relocation of Westloch Caprock Wells (Well Nos. 2002-13. 2102-23)

DEPUTY

Your request to relocate West Loch Cap rock Well No. 2002-13 approximately 3,000 ft. south to "location 1", shown on the accompanying map, is hereby approved. The well number remains the same.

Concerning your request to drill another exploratory well for Well No. 2102-23, which was unsuccessful and sealed, we prefer that the well be drilled at "location 2" rather than at "location 3" since "location 3" is approximately 600 ft. from Gentry's Palm Court 3 Well (Well No. 2002-12). If "location 2" is acceptable your request to drill another well there is approved. The new well number assigned is Well No. 2002-14. If "location 3" is desired please have your staff call Ed Sakoda at 587-0225 to discuss the matter.
