Attached is a report of a biological survey of the land areas to be

impacted by clearing and grading for an access road and drilling

site within the geothermal project site. The area surveyed was two

to five times larger than the dimensions of the areas to be cleared

for project activities. As indicated in the report, no endangered

species were sighted along the access road and around the first

drilling site. However, based on the survey's sighting of two

trees being considered for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service as endangered species (Bobea timonioides and Tetraplasandra)

along -or adjacent to the access road, the road will be deviated east

of survey stakes #48 and #58 (Figure I-A) to avoid these trees. In

addition, the drill site, AI, will be relocated east of the

originally designated site by 300 feet to avoid clearing an area of

IOhi'a a-(2) forest which contains a resident population of a native

bird (not endangered), the Hawaili 'elepaio.

Biological surveys will also be conducted in all other project sites

to be used as those sites are selected. These surveyed areas

establish a baseline of biological data for monitoring future

impacts that are the result of project activity. While numerous

exotic plants are evident along the access route and around the

first drill site periodic biological monitoring surveys will be

conducted in these areas with particular emphasis along roads and

clearings to assess the introduction or spread of existing exotic

plants in and adjacent to the cleared areas and to provide the basis

for determi ni ng the need for control measures to 1inrit further

spread of such plants. The results of the periodic follow-up

surveys and proposed methods for control of exotic plants adjacent

to areas cleared for project operations will be submitted to . DLNR

for review and approval.

During the continuation and expansion of project activities, any

areas encountered that are determined to be appropriate for

desigQ~tion as botanical sanctuaries will be reported to the land

owner as a basis for discussion with DLNR.

Water Analysis.

The D &0 also required that water samples be collected for analysis

prior to initiating drilling of th~ first well in each development

area, and after completion of well testing . A licenced water

quality testing laboratory will collect samples of water from

laboratory catchment containers for analysis in the nearest

residential area which is in a prevailing downwind direction from

the drilling site. Results will be submitted to DLNR, the Health

Department, and the County of Hawaii.

RESULTS

1. FLORA

A~~ species o£ vascular plants observed are listed in

TABLE I. A total o£ 103 species and varieti~s were £ound, o£

~hich 68 were native, (51 endemic to the Hawaii n is~ands, 17

indigenous, native in Hawai'i and el ewhere), and 35 were species

introduced to Hawai'i by humans (3 by the Po~ynesian s tt~ re, 32

since European contact).

Two species were encountered which are being considered

£or listing by the U. S. Fi.h and Wildli£e Service (1980) as

endangered sp ci•• 1 Bobe. timonioides (Hook. £.) Hillebr.

and Tetrap~.s ndra hawaiiensis Gray var. hswsiiensis.

Bobea timonioides is a Category 1 species, one £or

which the Service had u££icient in£ormation to support th~

biologic 1 .ppropriatenes o£ listing, but £or which d ta still

needed to b. collected concerning the environmental and economic

impacts o£ listing and designation o£ Critical Habitat. It has

been £ound in many places in the Puna District in recent years.

Tetraplasandra hawaiiensis var. hawaiiensis is

a Category 2 sp cies, ~or which the Servic& had in~ormation to

support the probable appropriateness o~ listing as endangered or

threat ned, but ~or which su~~icient in~ormation was not yet

vailable to biologically support a proposed rule. It is not

currently considered a high priority item for listing since its

range has been shown to be more extensive than previously

believed.

2. VEGETATION

The vegetation o~ the Puna Geoth rmal Area had previously

been described nd m pped (Char and Lamoureux, 1985a, 1985b)

Most o~ the road and the well ite are in forest

described in earli&r reports •• Wet 'ohi'a fore t with nativ

pecie. and xotic shrubs, and delimited on the vegetation maps

in Char and Lamoureux, (1985.) a. ·ohia-a(2)·.

domin ted by 'ohi'a-lehua (three varieties o~ Metrosideros

collina), yhich ~orm8 the canopy layer. Trees are mature,

ranging ~rom 20 to 60 ~eet in height. In .ome place. the canopy

is clo.ed (>60X cover) yith most or all trees healthy, in other

places more open and many o~ the trees are dead.

ther are patches o~ 'ohi'a dieback in the ~orest.

In other yords

The more

cattleianum). Tree £erns (hapu'u - Cibotium glaucum and

h pu'u 'i'i - Cibotium chamissoi) are common. The dominant

shrub throughout the area is the introduced Yeedy Malabar

melastome (Melastoma malabathricum), but some native shrubs

re rel tively common, including kanayao (Broussaisia

arguta), mamaki (Pipturus haYaiiensis), 'ohelo

(Vaccinium calycinum), Clermontia parvi£lora, and

Cyrtandra p ludosa, along yith th introduced thimbleberry

(Rubus rosae£olius). tn mor closed parts o£ the £orest the

trees, tre £er~s, and shrubs support dense masses o£ epiphytes,

including many ~ern. (listed in Table I), mosses and liveryorts.

In more open places there are ext nsive patches o£ uluh £erns

(Dicranopteris emargin ta nd D. linearis) 3 to 8 £eet deep.

BetYeen takes 64 and 66 is an area yhere the 'ohi'a

tre s re very yid ly scatt red and the uluhe £ern is

particularly den••• This area was described s 'Ohi's

Yoodl nd with uluhe. and designat d as ·ohia - uluhe· on

vegetation maps in our earlier report (Char snd Lamoureux, 1985a).

At Yell site one the 'ohi'a £or at was composed o£ £airly

small trees, 2~ to 30 ~eet tall, yith an open canopy. There vas

a dense understory o~ Malabar mel stom (about 60~ cover). This

area may have been used by humans in the past, since th only

kukui tree (Aleurites moluccana) and 'awapuhi ginger

(Zingiber 2erumbet) ye £ound were at this site.

We noted signs o£ £eral pig activity throughout the area,

and encountered one sow with young during our survey.

di.trict bound ry, and about 5 ~eet north o£ the surveyor's

line. At this point the road is planned to v••r southYard, and

i£ the curve to the .ou~h begins perhaps 50 £e.t outside the

conserv tion di.tric~ line, instead o~ right on the line, this

tree can be avoided. The second tree i. about 50 £eet east o£

is planned to veer south starting at stake 58. I£ the curve to

the south yere to begin perhaps 100 ~eet east o~ stake S8 this

tree can be avoided.

I:2. Tetraplasandra hawaiiensisz About half a dozen trees

of this Category 2 species were found. All but one was more than

[ ~20 feet from the centerline of the proposed road should not be

damaged by road construction. The one exception is close to the

first Bobea tr e, right at th conservation district

boundary, but about 10 feet south of the surveyor's line. At

this point the road is supposed to veer southward. If, as

suggested in th paragraph above, the southward curve were to

begin 's l i g h t l y outsid the conservation district , instead of

just at th boundary, this tree could be avoided too•.

3. Ad nophoru8 periensz A special search was made for

this Category 1 pl nt. W did not ~ind any. This rea is b~low

the elevation the elevation wh re this fern is known to occur in

Puna. Also, mo t of the 'ohi'a trees in th~ area re

characterized by h ving bark that pe.ls o~f in large strips.

Since the•• trees sh d their bark regularly, they do not develop

the dense coating o~ mosses and liverworts on their bark which

forms the substrate on which A. p.riens grows.

4. Buteo solit rius: The Haw iian hawk, or 'I'o, was not

encountered during our .urvey, although it undoubtedly occurs in

the area. The proposed construction would b unlikely to have

signi~icant adverse .~~ects on th hawk population, unless nests

wer to b de.troyed. w. did not find any nests long the

proposed road or at the well site.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. No listed endangered species were encountered during our

survey, but three trees were £ound which could be damaged by road

construction. We recommend that, in the two places speci£ied above, the

planned southward deviation o£ the road £rom the surveyor's line

should begin a £ew £eet east o£ the places indicated on the

surveyor'. plan, thus avoiding these trees.

2. The rea now contains a large population o£ introduced

woody shrubs and tr s, particularly Malabar melastom ,

strawberry guava, and guava. It is unlikely that construction

activities will have much ££ect on their abundance or

distribution. However, ther are . sev ral other weeds that could

increase in numbers and become more wid ly distributed as a

consequenc o£ opening up the £orest as construction occurs.

These are the species currently associated with pig-di turbed

reas, such s brooms dge, Cali£orniagrass, Hilograss,

Cyperus haspan, and £ir.weed. Other we de, not now in the

area, could also enter. To void this we recommend that:

a. road construction methods should be planned to

involve a little di turbance as possible beyond the edge o£ the

road. This might include using soil and rocks £rom high points

to fill in low .s po t s rather than bulldozing them into ridges at

the sides o£ the road.

b. the well site and road margins be monitored £or weeds,

and that appropriate weed control methods b used on all cleared

5. We hav~ looked t the area around the proposed well sit to

see i~ there are nearby areas where clearing the site would have

d~~~erent env~ronmental impacts. Th& s~te now des~gnated is

an area o~ 'oh~' a-(2) £orest, but just to the east is a

more open 'oh~'a - uluhe woodland. Select~ng a well site in

the woodland would involve cutt~ng fewer trees than in the

£orest. How v r, the £orest at the de ignated s~te ~s

spec~es being h~gher ~n the woodland than in this particular

p tch o£ forest. No rare spe~~es were ~ound in .~ther s~te.

Thus, from a botan~c 1 standpo~nt the currently de ~gnat dwell

.~te seems appropriate. On the other hand, there is a resident

population o£ a nat~v b~rd, the Haw.~'i 'elep ~o in the ~or st

site but not in the woodland. While birds are able to move to

avo~d construction ctivit~e., the 'elepa~o t nds to be

into account, there is no compelling environmental reason to

£avorable as that at the currently designated site.
