The landside area of the APE on both sides of the stream consists of mostly fill material whieh was placed during construction of the existing bridge.

construction of Increment 1 of the Waimea Trails and Greenways (WTG) project, also known as Ke Ala Kahawai o Waimea ("the stream trail of Waimea"). Increment 1 is the inihal section the WTG project, a planned multi-use path that will eventually extend 4.8 miles. The project is located in Waimea, South Kohala District, Hawai'i Island. Increment 1 is a County of Hawai'i federally-funded project, and is considered a federal action and undertaking as defined by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (2006). Increment 1 is a one-mile long section of paved, multi use path located between Lindsey Road and Kahawai Street. It is the first of four increments of the WTG project. Increment 1 will be paved, vary from 10 to 12 feet in width, and be ADA accessible, except where technically infeasible. The "Area of Potential Effect" (APE) is a 30-foot wide corridor following the path alignment. An Archaeological Inventory

Survey (AIS) was completed for Increment 1 in 2009 by Cultural Surveys Hawai'i. A complete pedestrian survey identified a total of three historic properties consisting of four features within the APE. These historic properties included a collapsed and severely damaged concrete ford or bridge, a remnant portion of a paved road, an earthen ditch segment, and an intact eoncrete ford and roadway. All three historic properties will potentially be affected by Increment 1 improvements. The State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) reviewed and approved the AIS in 2009, and recommended that a preservation/ interpretive plan be developed for one feature, a ford crossing, whieh lies in the path of the trail's stream crossing. The County is preparing this plan and it will be submitted to SHPD for review and approval prior to project construction. The FHWA and the State of SEE PUBLIC N0TICE ON PAGE 26
