HOʻOLAHA LEHULEHU PUBLIC NOTICE

PAEAHU AHUPUA'A Cultural Surveys Hawai'i, Ine. (CSH) is currently in the process of preparing a preservation plan for SIHP 50-50-14-5754 in Paeahu Ahupua'a, Makawao District, Maui Island (TMK [2] 2-1-008: 130). The site was documented as a rock overhang with cultural modification containing sparse marine shell midden, faunal bone, kukui, basalt flakes, and charcoal. The site was evaluated in consultation with SHPD and found to be significant under two of the five State and National Register of Historic Places criteria: Criterion D (Site has yielded or has the potential to yield information important in prehistory), and Criterion E (Site has cultural significance; probable religious structures or burials present [State of Hawai'i criteria only]). Due to these findings, SIHP5754 was recommended by SCS for preservation. As part of our proposed preservation plan, we are currently recommending avoidance and protection (conservation) of this site, including a 20-foot permanent buffer around the perimeter. We are requesting that persons having any knowledge of this site please contact Todd McCurdy at our Maui Office located at 1860 Main Street, Wailuku, HI 96793 (īelephone: [808] 242-9882; Fax [808] 244-1994), to share information, comments, or concerns regarding the appropriate preservation of SIHP # 50-50-14-5754. Please respond within thirty days of this notice. ■
