State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management

INTRODUCTION On January 20, 2009, at the request of the State Department of Agriculture, the staff of the Commission on Water Resource Management (Commission) met with representatives of the Department of Agriculture, Maui Mayor’s Office, Maui County Council, Maui Office of Economic Development, Maui Department of Water Supply, Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, and the Maui County Farm Bureau. The Commission staff prepared a list of data needs which would aid in assessing noninstream uses related to the surface water hydrologic units of Waikamoi (6047), Puohokamoa (6048), Haipuaena (6049), Punalau (6050), Honomanu (6051), Nuaailua (6052), Ohia (6054), West Wailuaiki (6057), East Wailuaiki (6058), Kopiliula (6059), Waiohue (6060), Paakea (6061), Waiaaka (6062), Kapaula (6063), Hanawi (6064), and Makapipi (6065), Island of Maui. Additionally, the Department of Agriculture issued a press release on May 22, 2009, urging farmers and ranchers in East Maui to complete and submit an agricultural water information survey being conducted by the Maui County Farm Bureau. This Compilation of Data Submissions (PR-2009-01) presents all of the information that was submitted and assessed as part of the Commission’s Instream Flow Standard Assessment Report preparation for these 16 surface water hydrologic units. All submissions have been separated into individual sections according to the submitting organization or individual, and the date of submission. Page numbers have also been applied to each original page. Comments were subsequently reduced to 2-per-page to save space and paper. Please contact the Commission to request full-size copies of any documents. Copying charges may apply. Starting from Section 3.0, comments are listed in the order they were received by the Commission.

Table 3. Known distribution of amphidromous species in streams of the East Maui study area (data summarized from SWCA, USGS, and DAR sources). X = present; ND = no data. Streams have not been surveyed equally throughout all reaches and over time, so the lack of an observation of a given species from a given stream must not be interpreted as absolute evidence of that species’ absence from that watershed. East Maui streams with the greatest number of amphidromous species reported have been the most intensively studied and surveyed repeatedly over a period of may years (e.g. Hanawī, Waiohue, and Palauhulu/Pi’ina’au).

Figure 4. Number of amphidromous species distributed within lower, middle, and upper reaches of East Maui study streams. Source data for this assessment include data from USGS (Gingerich and Wolff 2005), DAR (Hawaii Watershed Atlas (Parham et al. 2008), and SWCA field studies since 2003, and data obtained in numerous other surveys conducted by authors Kinzie and Ford since 1974.

Figure 5. Seventeen of 18 East Maui streams for which data are available were found to have amphidromous species within their upper reaches, demonstrating that ecological connectivity occurs under present diverted conditions. Source data for this assessment include data from USGS (Gingerich and Wolff 2005), DAR (Hawaii Watershed Atlas (Parham et al. 2008), and SWCA field studies since 2003, and data obtained in numerous other surveys conducted by authors Kinzie and Ford since 1974.
