Scoping Notice for Environmental Impact Statement


The National Park Service (NPS) will be preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) which will analyze the environmental effects of a range of project alternatives to repair the dock structures at Kalaupapa National Historical Park, in Moloka`i, Hawai`i.

The NPS will conduct public scoping for preparation of the EIS. All previously submitted comments are documented in the administrative record; only new issues and concerns need to be submitted at this time. A public open house meeting will be conducted at the Mitchell Pauole Center (90 Ainoa Street, Kaunakakai, Moloka'i). The format will include a brief presentation of the proposed project and a question and answer session with NPS staff. The open house will be on Wednesday, April 8, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. A similar presentation will also take place at 12:15 pm as part of the Molokai Planning Commission meeting scheduled for April 8 at the Mitchell Pauole Center.

All new comments on any issues that may be associated with the proposed project may be submitted either by mail to the attention of the Superintendent (address as noted above) or electronically at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/kala. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment, including you personal identifying information, may be made publicly available at any time. While you may ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

When the EIS is complete, it will be made available for your review and comment. A public meeting will also be held following release of the EIS, and the date, time and location of the meeting will be made available at the time of the EIS's publication.
