What does the EIS Prep notice say?
In a nutshell, it appears from the maps and the text of the EISPN, that up to 20 species of native Hawaiian dryland forest plants, endangered native fauna, inter-related complexes of cultural sites and traditional access routes are being minimized and dismissed as not worthy to survive in their own home.
As such, the current development plan would squeeze indigenous creatures and cultural sites down from around one fourth of the 670 acres to less than 4% of the land.
Major impacts and issues discussed during the county council hearings, like viable water source analysis, possible desal facility, sewage disposal, drainage, land titles, lack of emergency evacuation routes, traffic impact to Kihei and Wailea neighborhoods and recreational access to nearby beaches are not seen as a problem. What do you think?
This EIS will eventually go to our Planning Commission as part of their review of Phase II of the W-670 Project District Approval. We have waited 20 years for updated Environmental review of this project. It should address the real issues and offer mitigations.
EIS prep notice for Wailea 670- Honua 'ula was issued on March 8, 2009 in OEQC bulletin. Comments are due by April 7, 2009.
See Unilateral Conditions (No. 9, 13 & 27) that run with the W-670 County of Maui rezoning approval, in case you have need to refer to them.

WAILEA 670 - Preliminary INJUNCTION GRANTED by Judge Cardoza
Attorney Lance Collins represented five individuals who questioned whether the County Council acted properly in holding a long succession of recessed meetings, -- allowing the developer to make comments and participate, but NOT allowing the general public to testify again.
Wednesday morning, April 23, Judge Cardoza agreed and issued a preliminary injunction halting further action on Wailea 670.
See Reality Check to dispell the misinformation.
Wailea 670, Honua'ula, is a proposed development of 1400 units, a golf course, shopping center and sewage treatment plant which would sprawl from Maui Meadows to Makena. The Maui County Council is expected to hold a public hearing and vote on this project sometime in June, 2007. Please take action now.
