DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Department of the Army, Corps of 

Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the ‘I ̄ao Stream Flood Control Project, 

Wailuku, Maui, HI 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

gives notice that a joint Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) is being 

prepared for the proposed action to 

correct a design deficiency in the 

existing ‘I ̄ao Stream Flood Control 

Project, Wailuku, Maui, HI. This effort 

is being proposed under Section 203 of 

the Flood Control Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 

90–483) and is necessary to provide the 

authorized level of reduced flood risk to 

the town of Wailuku. The County of 

Maui, Department of Public Works 

(DPW) is the non-Federal sponsor and 

the lead agency for compliance with the 

Hawai‘i law on Environmental Impact 

Statements. 

DATES: Comments and suggestions on 

the scope of issues to be addressed in 

the Draft EIS (DEIS) should be received 

on or before May 9, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Honolulu District, ATTN: Nani 

Shimabuku, Project Manager, Civil and 

Public Works Branch (CEPOH–PP–C), 

Building 230, Fort Shafter, HI 96858– 

5440. Submit electronic comments to 

iaostreameis@usace.army.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Further information is available on the 

Web site for the proposed action at 

http://www.iaostreameis.com or from 

Ms. Nani Shimabuku, Project Manager, 

Telephone: (808) 438–2940, E-mail: 

iaostreameis@usace.army.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Proposed Action. The existing ‘I ̄ao 

Stream Flood Control Project includes a 

debris basin, diversion levees, and 

channel improvements along the lower 

2.5 miles of the ‘I ̄ao Stream in Wailuku, 

Maui, and drains an area of 

approximately 10 square miles. The 

existing project was designed to provide 

the town of Wailuku with protection 

against a 222-year flood (0.5% chance of 

flooding in any given year). Since the 

existing project was completed in 1981, 

numerous storm events involving high 

velocity flows within the steeply sloped 

channel have resulted in major erosion 

of the streambed, undermining the 

banks and the levees. The proposed 

action would correct the design 

deficiencies in the existing project in 

order to provide the authorized level of 

reduced flood risk. 

2. Alternatives. In March 2009, 

USACE released a draft Environmental 

Assessment (DEA) that analyzed several 

alternatives to address the existing 

project’s design deficiencies. During the 

public comment period, the public, 

resource agencies, and stakeholders 

raised concerns over potential indirect 

and cumulative significant impacts 

associated with impairment of 

groundwater recharge, sediment loading 

impacts to native aquatic species and 

habitats, and other issues. Based on 

these comments, USACE decided to 

prepare an EIS. The EIS will expand the 

alternatives analysis in the DEA to 

consider a full range of structural and 

nonstructural flood risk management 

alternatives that meet the proposed 

action’s purpose and need and 

incorporate measures to avoid and 

minimize impacts to native aquatic 

species, stream habitat, and other 

resources. Design features currently 

under consideration include, but are not 

limited to, the incorporation of a rollercompacted channel design with lowflow invert; grade control structures; 

stilling basin areas; groundwater 

infiltration areas; natural erosion 

protection measures; and pooling areas 

to support native aquatic species. 

3. Scoping and Public Involvement. 

As part of the scoping process, all 

affected Federal, State, and local 

agencies, Native Hawaiian 

organizations, private organizations, and 

the public are invited to comment on 

the scope of the EIS. 

Since a comprehensive public review 

process was completed in association 

with the DEA for the proposed action, 

the EIS scoping process will not include 

a formal public scoping meeting. The 

public comments submitted on the DEA 

have been compiled and will be 

considered during the development of 

the EIS. A summary of those comments 

is available on the Web site for the 

proposed action at http:// 

www.iaostreameis.com. Any additional 

comments received will be considered 

along with those already summarized. 

To be most helpful, comments should 

clearly describe specific environmental 

topics or issues which the commenter 

believes the document should address. 

4. Other Environmental Review 

Requirements. To the extent practicable, 

NEPA and HRS Chapter 343 

requirements will be coordinated in the 

preparation of the EIS. Consistent with 

Hawai‘i Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 

343, a State EIS Preparation Notice 

(EISPN) will be published concurrently. 

5. Availability. The DEIS is currently 

scheduled to be available for public 

review and comment in the summer of 

2012.
