We are writing with regard to water allocations in the Waialua Ground Water Management Area. There are substantial portions ofpre-1987 allocations in the Waialua Ground Water Management Area that have not been used for a very long time. To accommodate new water use applicants (including the Honolulu Board of Water Supply), the Commission on Water Resource Management ("Commission") is in the process of 1) revoking allocations that have not been used for a long time; and 2) revisiting the remaining uses.

On February 15,2012, the Commission staff recommended revoking a total of 21.651 Mgd of the 25.0 Mgd (sustainable yield) in Waialua Ground Water Management Area. Of this total, Dole faced the bulk of the revocation (21.292 Mgd).

2012 Commission meeting. This table clarifies Dole's request and its voluntary revocations. In accordance with Dole's representations, Dole now agrees to voluntarily relinquish 13.890 Mgd.

There are further questions that need to be clarified:

1) As noted in the revised table and Dole's figures, the domestic use portion of Dole's existing WUP 036 for Pump 2A (Well Nos. 3307-07 & 11 to 14) is now proposed to be assigned to Pump 2 (Well Nos. 3307-01 to 06, & 08 to 10). Please explain the reasons for this change.

2) A reasonable-beneficial irrigation use is based upon available rainfall, soil types, acreages under cultivation with nonnal fallowing patterns, types of Grops, type of irrigation system, evapotranspiration, and other considerations. Dole has not provided the quantities and locations in its analysis. Please prepare the analysis and provide it to the Commission.

3) The Commission requested maps showing the current irrigation boundaries and footprint of the service areas distinguishing between current actual and potential future areas of use that are necessary to answer #2 above. Please provide these maps and infonnation as soon as possible.

4) What is the reasonable-beneficial basis for requesting ground water use allocations as backup for existing surface water use of 2.745 Mgd identified by Dole?

5) What are the maintenance plans for the existing ditch and wells sources? What is the physical relationship between the systems? Describe how the wells serve as backup and to which fields.

As you know, the Commission bases decisions on the best available infonnation, so it is important to have current and accurate data. In order to proceed with the Board of Water Supply pennit in a timely manner, please respond to this letter by August 6,2012.

If you have any questions, contact Charley Ice (ph or Roy Hardy (

Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Waialua Ground Water Aquifer System Area. Waialua. Oahu

On February 15, 2012, the Commission on Water Resource Management (Commission) will meet and review aU water use permits in the Waialua Ground Water System Area. Enclosed is a copy of the staff submittal recommending partial or complete revocation or continuation of existing ground water use permits. Your well is among those which will be reviewed and acted upon.

You are invited to attend and discuss your wells. The meeting is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. in the DLNR Board Room 132, 1151 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.

This meetjng follows a review of all water use permits, information available in the public record, and field visits. Many of the ground water use permits date back to 1981 when the Waialua Ground Water Control Area was designated by the Board of Land Natural Resources. Many wells are old. Much of the water use approved at that time was for plantation agriculture, which has subsequently ceased. Unused allocations need to be revoked to make ground water available for new uses. The Commission will consider wellhead conditions for old wells in order to meet current standards for protecting ground water.

If you have any questions, please contact Charley Ice of our staff at

We understand that ownership of wells formerly operated by Waialua Sugar Company have been transferred to Dole Food Company. There is also a need to transfer the water use permits (WUP) associated with these wells.

Additionally, because the Water Code provides that four years of non-use is grounds for revocation of the allocation in the water use permit, we request your assistance in determining the proper disposition of these allocations. These are the WUPs and respective well numbers and names:

If you have limited reasonable and beneficial use, please identify the amount and purpose of use, using our water use permit application form. Following the normal review, we will issue you new permits accordingly. We will ask the Commission to revoke allocations with no current or planned use, making them available for other users. Additional amounts that may be required in the future may be applied for at any time using the water use application form.

Dear Mr. Arizumi:

Preliminary Engineering Report to Certify Waialua Sugar Company's

Pump 3 (State Well Nos. 3505-01 to 20) as a Source of Drinking Water Supply

KEITH W. AHUE CHAIRPERSON

OR. PETER SYBINSKY ROBERT S. NAKATA

J. DOUGLAS ING. ESQ. ROBERT G. GIRALD

DAVIO NOBRIGA

RAE M. lOUI. P.E. DEPUTY

We have reviewed the subject report to certify the Pump 3 battery of wells as a source of drinking water for the Kawailoa Camp.

Some of the information in Section 2.1. is incorrect. Authorized use of Pump 3 was reduced from 3.160 million gallons per day (mgd) to 1.552 mgd by action of the Commission on Water Resource Management on June 2, 1993. The report correctly states that 0.108 mgd of the total allocation is designated for domestic use.

If the planned domestic use of the well exceeds 0.108 mgd, then a modification of the permit is required, pursuant to Section 13-171-23 of our Administrative Rwes. To convert the system source from Pump 17 to Pump 3, the report states that a new 600 gpm pump will be installed. Section 13-168-12 HAR requires that a pump installation permit be obtained prior to any work being done to replace the pump. Lastly, a modification of the temporary permit for Pump 17 may also be required. Pump 17 has authorized use of 8.630 mgd, of which 0.432 mgd may be used for domestic purposes.

Thank you for the opportunity to review the report. If you have any questions, please contact Lenore Nakama at

Sincerely,

ITEM 1

ITEM 1

ITEM 3

o o MINUfES OF THE MAY 19. 1993 MEETING

Unanimously approved as submitted (Cox/Nakata).

OLD BUSINESSIREPORTS

Ms. Loui reported on two follow up items:

1) Guidelines for modification of the water use permits

Staff finds that Administrative Rules 171-23 are clear regarding changes that require modification. Therefore, it was felt that guidelines are not necessary.

2) Guidelines for Emergency permits

Still being worked on. Eventually, amendments to the Administrative Rules will be made to more clearly address emergency permits.

WAIALUA SUGAR COMPANY. VOLUNTARY BEDucnoN OF PERMITIED WATER USE IN THE WAIALUA GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT AREA. WAIAWA, OAHU

Mr. Sakoda submitted amended recommendations for the Commission review and action (see attached).

Mr. Cox had the following questions:

1) Are the statements regarding ·dry years and ·wet years· correct for that area and time?

Rainfall data provided by Climate Center was utilized, it was jointly determined that these were wet and dry years based on actual rainfall information.

2) In terms of the water level in the aquifer, what has happened during the periods noted?

The water level data for the Waialua Aquifer is not that good. No problems have been expressed. USGS is drilling in that area to get more data.

3) What length of time is being discussed in Waialua Sugar Company's (Waialua Sugar) statement: ·We cannot afford to short ourselves of water. As we understand, we can exceed the permitted use during dry periods as may be required.·

No specifics have been set, it would be on a case by case basis.

Mr. Nakata asked:

1) Why was there a discrepancy in the amount of pumpage?

Mr. Sakoda replied that Waialua Sugar was still in the process of converting from furrow to drip. During that time, fields lie fallow longer than normal.

2) What percentage of the acreage was under drip irrigation?

- 2 -

Page 9: o o o - HIGP · 2013. 11. 13. · o neil abercrombie governor of hawaii certified mail o o state of hawaii department of land and natural resources commission on water resource management

ITEM 4

o o Milton Agadar, Waialua Sugar Irrigation Superintendent stated that approximately 90% is fed by drip irrigation from the Waialua Aquifer.

Mr. Martin provided testimony (see Commission file) urging the Commission to review all data presently available and consider imposing further allocation reductions. He also felt specific quantitative guidelines and protocols for administering dry period extractions need to be part of the State Water Resource Protection Plan and water use permit conditions.

Mr. Cox commented that unless more information was available he would be uncomfortable in trying set a time for the dry period because it would vary considerably from aquifer to aquifer. Mr. Sakoda agreed that a generalized guideline would be difficult to make because every situation would be different.

In regards to the word ·voluntary·, Mrs. Black suggested ·agreement· because if there is no water, how could it be a ·voluntary reduction·. Mr. Sakeda stated that it is voluntary because the Water Code provides that a water user can voluntarily give up or reduce their allocation without going through the public hearing process.

Mr. Ing asked how the data was obtained for the graph and if all the active pumps were metered. Mr. Sakoda said data was submitted monthly by Waialua Sugar. Mr. Agadar responded that all the pumps are metered.

Mr. Ing asked why the 12-month moving average of pumping was used and if this was an industry practice. In Hawaii, 12-month moving averages have been used by the water industry.

Unanimously approved as amended (Cox/Nakata).

HOUSING FINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. APPLICATION FOR A WELL CONSTRUCflON PERMIT. KEOPU-HFDC WELL 1 (WELL NO. 3957-03>, NORTH KONA, HAWAII

The following items were discussed:

I) The nearby Haseko Well is not being pumped but is proposed to be pumped at 700 gallons per minute.

2) This well would be required to follow the CWRM's pump test protocol, which is a seven day test. The best data possible will be obtained for input into the Groundwater Model currently being developed jointly by USGS/CWRM.

3) If the HFDC wells interfere with the Haseko well, the Hawaii County BWS would not award the full amount of water commitments to the wells.

4) There have been mixed results of the testing of the high level wells. Some have stabilized quickly while others have not.

Mr. Martin expressed concerns regarding ceded lands, the effects on other wells due to a first come-first serve process, and requirements for a water license.

Mr. Tam said public lands are set aside by executive order for county and other state department uses. Setting aside or transferring water to a sub-agency of the state for public purposes is not a transfer to a private entity. Therefore, the use by the counties of state lands for providing municipal water supply does not require a license under the Land Board or the Commission.

Unanimously approved (Cox/Nakata).

State of Hawaii COMMISSION ON WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

. Department of Land and Natural Resources Honolulu, Hawaii

June 2, 1993

Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management State of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii

Gentlemen:

Waialua Sugar Company Voluntcuy Reduction of Permitted Water Use in the

Waialua Aquifer Syst~ Waialua Ground Water Management Area Waialua, Oahu

Background: Present authorized uses of ground water in the Waialua Aquifer System of the Waialua Ground Water Management Area (GWMA) total 43.114 mgd. The sustainable yield for the Waialua Aquifer System (formerly called the Waialua Subarea) was originally 60 mgd when the Board of Land and Natural Resources adopted the sustainable yield in July 1981. The Commission on Water Resource Management, in October 1991, accepted an updated table of sustainable yields for Oahu. Under the updated table, the sustainable yield for the Waialua Aquifer System was reduced from 60 mgd to 40 mgd. The new sustainable yield was formally adopted by the Commission on March 17, 1993. Authorized uses now exceed the sustainable yield by 3.114 mgd.

The Commission staff has reviewed the authorized uses versus the actual uses in the entire Waialua GWMA. Allocations in the Waialua Aquifer System are as follows:

Waialua Sugar Company

Honolulu BWS

Private Users

Total

39.940 mgd

2.730 mgd

0.444 mgd

43.114 mgd

Preliminary review of Waialua Sugar Company's pumpage data indicates that they have used less than 30 mgd of their 40 mgd allocation over the last five years (see attached graph). Water use by the Honolulu BWS and private users has not changed significantly.

Waialua Sugar Company calculated their irrigation requirements using the same methodology that Oahu Sugar Company used to determine their irrigation requirements in the Pearl Harbor area. Irrigation requirements were calculated for dry years (1983 • 1986) and wet years (1988 • 1991). Pumping required was calculated to be about 46 to 48 mgd for dry years and about 3S to 36 mgd for wet years.

Waialua Sugar Company has reviewed their water use over the past 20 years and, based on historical water use, conversion to drip irrigation, and other factors, has voluntarily reduced its pennitted water use in the Waialua Aquifer System from 39.9 mgd to 36.0 mgd effective June 1, 1993. nus voluntary reduction reduces the allocations in the Waialua Aquifer S~tem to 39.174 mgd, which is less than the sustainable yield of 40 mgd, and allows an additional 0.826 mgd to be allocated.

In voluntarily reducing its allocation, Waialua Sugar Company states that they "want to be on record that sugar production is highly dependent upon water; without adequate water, yields will suffer. We cannot afford to short ourselves of water. As we understand, we can exceed the permitted use during dry periods as may be required- (See attached letter).

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Commission acc,ept Waialua Sugar Company's voluntary reduction of permitted use in the Waialua Aquifer System, from 39.940 to 36.0 mgd. The 3.94 mgd reduction will be taken from sources in the Waialua Aquifer System presently being determined by Waialua Sugar Company. Staff will be working with them to determine the source-by-source reductions and will bring the results to the Commission for approval.

r·1I : 53, Ms. Rae Loui Deputy Director .. .. . state Water Commission P. O. Box 621 Honolulu, Hawaii 96809

Dear Ms. Loui:

We have had several meetings over the past months to discuss Waialua Sugar Company's permitted water use from the Waialua aquifer. Waialua Sugar has a permitted use of 39.9 million gallons per day. When you add the permitted use of the City Water Department, you have a combined use which is higher than the sustainable yield.

Waialua Sugar Company Board of Water Supply

Total Sustainable Yield Over Permitted Use

39.9 --L.1 43.1

40.0 (3.1)

We have reviewed our water use over the past 20 years and while we have peaked at times over our permitted use, it appears we could reduce the permitted use given recent historical water use, conversion to drip irrigation and other factors.

Before going further, we want to be on record that sugar production is highly dependent upon water: without adequate water, yields will suffer. We cannot afford to short ourselves of water. As we understand, we can exceed the permitted use during dry periods as may be required.

Based on the above discussions and research into this matter, Waialua Sugar Company is voluntarily reducing its permitted water use in the Waialua acquifer from our current 39.9 million gallons per day to 36.0 million gallons per day effective June 1/93.

Page 20: o o o - HIGP · 2013. 11. 13. · o neil abercrombie governor of hawaii certified mail o o state of hawaii department of land and natural resources commission on water resource management

o o Background Information

State Well No. 3404-01 is governed by Water Use Permit 039, which was issued to Waialua Sugar

Company. Although Waialua Sugar Company is no longer in existence, this permit, along with

several others is still issued to the organization. Since Dole Food Company is now the

landowner, Water Use Permit 039 should be transferred to reflect this change.

There is no application for a water use permit on file for this well. A declaration of existing water

use was given to the Commission on May 25th, 1981. This water source has been in use for at

least 60 years with Dole Food Company, Inc. using it for the past 14. Reports of water use and

salinity levels are not available for State Well No. 3404-01. During the research phase of this

project, information including end use TMK parcel numbers and standard and special conditions

for Water Use Permit 039 were not available. As such, conditions are not included in this report

and several of the above information fields are listed as 'N / A'. A complete list of all standard

and special conditions is given in the permit file.

Field Investigation Information

Gary Paracuelles

Pump 17

Haleiwa, HI 96712

Brown and Caldwell conducted a field investigation on July 28th, 2008 from with Mr. Gary

Paracuelles in conjunction with several other water use permits that are issued to the same

permittee. During this time, type of water usage was verified, GPS coordinates of well head(s)

were recorded, flow meter installation and functionality were documented, and property TMK

information was verified. The wellhead, its related appurtenances, and water usage area were

visually inspected to assess compliance with permit conditions. Visual inspection of water

loss/waste was limited to outdoor areas within the usage boundary. Reference the TMK and

GIS maps in the permit file for a visual representation of the site.

Summary of Findings for Water Use Permit No. 039

State Well No. 3404-01 is located on TMK parcel 6-4-001:001 at an unknown GPS location. The

well resides down an access road in a gulch that is overgrown with thick vegetation. As such,

location.

Since no conditions were available for this permit, it is difficult to ascertain whether or not the

permittee is in compliance with their water use permit. Assuming that the typical standard

conditions apply, permit compliance can be assessed. However, before taking action on this

permit, verification of permit conditions should be conducted to ensure that the permittee is not

being held accountable for conditions not associated with Water Use Permit 032. With that

being said, the following are a list of potential standard condition(s) that the permittee could be

in non-compliance with:

(10) An approved flowmeter must be installed to measure monthly withdrawals and a month record of withdrawals, salinity, temperature, and pumping times must be kept and reported to the Commission on Water Resource Management on forms provided by the Commission on a monthly basis.

After inspection, it was found that the permittee is not submitting monthly water use and

salinity level reports to the Commission for State Well No. 3404-01.

Recommendations

• Address the following discrepancies between the Commission's electronic database and

actual field investigation findings:

o

o

Permittee and landowner name and address information

Change permitee contact to Gary Paracuelles at

(gary [email protected])

o Beneficial use description

o State land use and county zoning classifications

• Address potential violation of Standard Condition (10) regarding non-reporting of water

use and salinity levels.

• Determine the Standard and Special Conditions associated with Water Use Permit 039

• Address issue of the need for a permit transfer to change permittee from Waialua Sugar

Company to Dole Foods, Inc.
