BILLING CODE 4910–13–M 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement; Maui 

County, HI 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), Hawaii 

Department of Transportation (HDOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

will be prepared to evaluate alternatives 

that would improve the roadway 

capacity, safety, and reliability of 

Honoapiilani Highway between Maalaea 

and Launiupoko on the west side of the 

island of Maui. This section of highway 

is the main travel way for people and 

goods between West Maui and the rest 

of the island. 

The EIS will be prepared in 

accordance with regulations 

implementing the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as 

well as provisions of the recently 

enacted Safe, Accountable, Flexible, 

Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A 

Legacy of Users (SAFETEA–LU). The 

purpose of this Notice of intent is to 

alert interested parties regarding the 

plan to prepare the EIS, to provide 

information on the nature of the 

proposed project, to invite participation 

in the EIS process, including comments 

on the scope of the EIS proposed in this 

notice, and to announce that a public 

scoping meeting will be conducted.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Written comments on the scope of the 

EIS should be sent to Pat V. Phung, 

Transportation Engineer, Federal 

Highway Administration, Hawaii 

Division, Box 50206, 300 Ala Moana 

Blvd., Room 3–306, Honolulu, HI 96850, 

within 30 days of the publication of this 

notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the Hawaii 

Department of Transportation (HDOT), 

will be preparing an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the 

improvement of the 11-mile segment of 

Honoapiilani Highway between Maalaea 

and Launiupoko in West Maui. The 

eastern limit of the project is the 

western terminus of the recent 

Honoapiilani Highway widening project 

near Maalaea. The western limit of the 

project will be southern terminus of the 

Lahaina Bypass Road, near Launiupoko 

Wayside Park. Highway improvements 

may involve improving portions of the 

existing highway and/or constructing a 

new highway along a different 

alignment. 

Purposes and needs for the 

Nonoapiilani Highway Realignment/ 

Widening, Maalaea to Launiupoko will 

be finalized after the completion of the 

scoping process. Project goals may 

involve: (1) Alleviate existing 

congestion; (2) Accommodate future 

travel demand; (3) Protect road from 

shoreline erosion; (4) Complement land 

use and preservation plans; (5) Improve 

reliability of access to and from West 

Maui; (6) Enhance pedestrian and 

vehicular mauka/makai movements; (7) 

Provide consistent roadway system 

linkages; (8) Enhance modal 

interrelationships and non-vehicular 

modes of travel; (9) Improve public 

safety for emergencies; and (10) Improve 

substandard road elements. These 

project purposes may be modified 

through the planning process. 

The NEPA scoping process being 

initiated by the publication of this NOI 

is intended to generate a full range of 

project alternatives for subsequent 

evaluation. The No Build alternative 

would leave Honoapiilani Highway in 

its current condition except for possible 

short-term and minor activities, such as 

safety upgrades and maintenance. A 

Transportation System Management 

(TSM) alternative may include elements 

such as restriping the roadway, 

enhancing transit service, establishing 

contra-flow lanes, widening the 

roadway in place and/or raising the 

roadbed in areas of high shoreline 

hazard. The TSM alternative could also 

include establishing and improving 

intersections along the existing roadway 

through techniques such as 

channelization, roundabouts, or left turn 

lanes. 

Other possible improvement 

alternatives include: (1) A new 

Kaanapali to Wailuku highway; (2) 

Aerial cable car; (3) Tunnel under the 

Pali; (4) Ocean causeway around the 

Pali; (5) Light Rail Transit from Lahaina 

to Wailuku; (6) Pave ‘‘Haul Cane Road’’

(Industrial Road, or Cane Haul Road;) 

(7) Ferries from Maalaea to either Mala 

Wharf, Lahaina small boat harbor, or a 

new harbor to be constructed at Cut 

Mountain; (8) Enhanced bus system; (9) 

Realignment included in the County’s 

Pali to Puamana Plan (P2P Plan); (10) 

Alternative alignment proposed in a 

privately commissioned study; (11) 

Elevate and widen road within existing 

ROW; (12) Improve intersections along 

existing road; (13) Roadway Couplet 

(Westbound: 2 lanes in a mauka 

alignment and Eastbound: 2 lanes on 

existing road); (14) West Maui hotels 

provide enhanced shuttle service and 

car pools for workers; (15) Widen 

existing road to provide for contraflow 

operation; and (16) Widen existing road 

to provide for high occupancy vehicle 

(HOV) lanes. 

The purpose of the EIS process is to 

explore in a pubic setting potentially 

significant effects of implementing the 

proposed action on the physical, 

human, and natural environment. Areas 

of investigation for this project will 

include but not be limited to cultural 

resources, archaeological resources, 

biological resources, social impact, 

engineering feasibility, schedule, costbenefit analysis, land use pattern, 

shoreline access, residential 

displacements, impacts on existing 

businesses, air quality, noise and 

vibration, and ease of implementation. 

Measures to avoid, minimize, or 

mitigate any significant adverse impacts 

will be identified. The documents that 

will be produced include an 

Alternatives Analysis Report (AA), Draft 

and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (DEIS and FEIS), and the 

Record of Decision (ROD). 

Regulations implementing NEPA, as 

well as provisions of SAFETEA–LU, call 

for public involvement in the EIS 

process. Section 6002 of SAFETEA–LU 

requires that FHWA and HDOT do the 

following: (1) Extend an invitation to 

other government agencies and Native 

Hawaiian organizations that may have 

an interest in the proposed project to 

become ‘‘participating agencies,’’ (2) 

provide an opportunity for involvement 

by participating agencies and the public 

in helping to define the purpose and 

need for this proposed project, as well 

as the range of alternatives for 

consideration in the impact statement, 

and (3) establish a plan for coordinating 

public and agency participation in and 

comment on the environmental review 

process. 

To comply with these regulations, an 

invitation to become a participating 

agency, with a scoping information 

packet appended, will be extended to 

other government agencies and Native 

Hawaiian organizations that may have 

an interest in the proposed project. 

Community meetings will provide 

public-friendly and accessible venues 

for comments to be accepted regarding 

alternatives, scope of the EI, and the 

purpose and needs to be addressed. 

Community meetings will be held on 

Maui at times and locations convenient 

to those that work and live in the 

corridor. Meeting locations will be 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Input received will be collected and 

documented. In addition to community 

meetings and a DEIS public hearing, 

small group meetings will be held 

during the planning and DEIS 

preparatory stages. 

A project Task Force will also be 

formed to help advise HDOT on key 

aspects of the project such as project 

goals, development and ranking of 

alternatives; construction phasing plan; 

and mitigation measures. Similar to all 

community meetings, the Task Force 

meetings will be open to the public, 

accessible to people with disabilities, 

and held on Maui at times and locations 

convenient to those that live and work 

in the corridor.
