| THE MAUNA KEA WATERSHED ALLIANCE (ALLIANCE), WITH THE BIG ISLAND RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL AS ITS FISCAL AGENT, WILL (1) UPDATE THE MAUNA KEA WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN 2010, (2) CREATE A FIVE-YEAR ACTION PLAN WITH THE FULL INPUT OF THE WATERSHED PARTNERS, AND (3) CREATE A WILDFIRE PROTECTION AND POST-FIRE RESPONSE PLAN FOR ALL ALLIANCE LANDS, OVER 416,000 ACRES. THE ALLIANCE IS A COLLABORATIVE OF STATE OF HAWAI I, FEDERAL, AND PRIVATE WATERSHED PARTNERS, INCLUDING LAND TRUSTS, NONPROFITS, AND RANCHES, WHOSE INTERESTS SPAN THE UPPER ELEVATIONS OF MAUNA KEA. THESE WATERSHEDS PROVIDE VALUABLE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES FOR HAWAI I COUNTY RANGING FROM CULTURAL BENEFITS TO WATER CAPTURE, AQUIFER RECHARGE, AND MAINTENANCE OF WATER QUALITY. INVASIVE SPECIES, RAPID OHI A DEATH, HABITAT FRAGMENTATION, AND WILDFIRE ARE MAJOR THREATS TO THESE RESOURCES. THIS PROJECT WILL ADVANCE THE LARGER VISION OF THE ALLIANCE TO STRATEGICALLY PLAN AT LANDSCAPE SCALES FOR ON-THE-GROUND ACTIONS FOR THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND TO COMBAT THREATS AND ADDRESS CHANGING CONDITIONS TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE WATERSHEDS OF MAUNA KEA. | Hawaii (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | BIG ISLAND RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL | $300K | — |
| THE STATE OF HAWAII, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES WILL INCREASE WATER SUPPLIES BY PROTECTING ECOLOGICAL VALUES ON THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ISLAND OF MOLOKAI FROM FERAL HOOVED ANIMALS. THESE FORESTS ARE THREATENED BY NON-NATIVE FERAL PIGS, DEER, AND GOATS, WHICH ROAM WILD AND TRAMPLE AND DEVOUR VEGETATION, AND SPREAD WEEDS. PROTECTING FOREST WATERSHEDS IS THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT WAY TO ABSORB RAINWATER AND REPLENISH GROUNDWATER. THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THESE FORESTS HELP RECHARGE MOLOKAIS SOLE SOURCE AQUIFER. AN EMERGENCY DECLARATION FOR THE ISLAND OF MOLOKAI HAS BEEN DECLARED FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW DUE TO EXTREME DROUGHT CONDITIONS. MOLOKAIS WATER IS SO LIMITED THAT IT IS DESIGNATED AS A GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT AREA WHERE THE STATES COMMISSION OF WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL REGULATION AND PERMITTING, AND WITHDRAWALS MUST MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA. FORESTS ARE IMPORTANT FOR MANY OTHER REASONS, SUCH AS REDUCING EROSION AND WATER QUALITY ISSUES ALONG STREAMS AND COASTS.THE DEPARTMENT AND PARTNERS ARE UNDERTAKING AN AMBITIOUS PROTECTION PLAN TO PRESERVE THE REMAINING WATERSHED FORESTS OF MOLOKAI. THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION IS ALREADY SUPPORTING MANAGEMENT PLANNING IN MOLOKAI THROUGH A WATERSMART PLANNING GRANT. THAT GRANT SUPPORTS PLANNING FOR FENCES, WHICH INCLUDES ONE OF THE FENCES PROPOSED TO BE PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED BY THIS GRANT AT PUU O HOKU RANCH. THIS PROJECT EXTENDS THE AREA OF PROTECTION AND ACTIVE MANAGEMENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE REMAINING PRIORITY FORESTS OF MOLOKAI. THIS PROJECT WOULD BUILD A FENCE THAT EXCLUDES HOOVED ANIMALS FROM 3,340 ACRES IN PELEKUNU VALLEY, CONTROL HOOVED ANIMALS IN THE PELEKUNU FENCE AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL 12,000 ACRES, AND WILL SUPPORT THE FIRST PHASE OF AN ADDITIONAL FENCE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY PROTECT AN ADDITIONAL 4,225 ACRES THAT IS CRITICAL FOR THE EASTERNMOST COMMUNITIES OF MOLOKAI. EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT. SINCE 1999, THE EAST MOLOKAI WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP (EMOWP), COORDINATED BY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF HAWAI I, HAS UNITED LAND OWNERS AND MANAGERS ACROSS THE WATERSHED WITH THE GOAL TO PROTECT THE FORESTS, WHICH, IN TURN, PROTECTS MOLOKAIS FRESH WATER SUPPLY. THE FENCING PROJECTS WILL BENEFIT FROM THE EXISTING LONG-STANDING RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS MULTIPLE LANDOWNERS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, AND AGENCIES, ENSURING THAT THE PLACEMENT AND DESIGN OF THE PROJECT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE, AND THAT THERE WILL BE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY TO MAINTAIN THESE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS. | Hawaii (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF LAND & NATURAL RESOURCES | $937K | — |
| THE STATE OF HAWAI I, DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES (DLNR), DIVISION OF FORESTRY AND WILDLIFE (DOFAW) WILL CREATE A PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT FOR PRIORITY AREAS IN EAST MOLOKA I. THIS EFFORT IS PART OF A LARGER VISION TO CARE FOR EAST MOLOKA I S REMAINING NATIVE FORESTS AND REALIZE HOLISTIC WATERSHED MANAGEMENT FROM MAUKA (MOUNTAIN) TO MAKAI (OCEAN). THESE FORESTS SIT ATOP AND HELP RECHARGE MOLOKA I S SOLE SOURCE AQUIFER THE SOURCE OF RESIDENTIAL WATER SUPPLIED BY THE COUNTY OF MAUI. PROTECTING FOREST WATERSHEDS IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT WAY TO ABSORB RAINWATER AND REPLENISH GROUND WATER.1 FORESTS ALSO ABSORB WATER INTO THE GROUND FASTER, WHICH PREVENTS THE WATER FROM RUNNING OFF AND CAUSING EROSION AND WATER QUALITY ISSUES ALONG THE COAST. MOLOKA I S FORESTS ARE THREATENED BY NON NATIVE FERAL DEER, PIGS AND GOATS, WHICH ROAM WILD AND TRAMPLE AND DEVOUR VEGETATION, AND SPREAD WEEDS. PROTECTING WHAT IS LEFT OF THE ISLAND S NATIVE FORESTS, IN ADDITION TO RESTORING DEGRADED AREAS ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE, IS CRITICAL IN BUILDING AND MAINTAINING ISLAND WIDE WATER SUPPLY. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON TWO SPECIFIC COMPONENTS TO EAST MOLOKA I S LONG TERM PLANNING EFFORTS (1) AMEND THE EXISTING EAST MOLOKA I WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP 2030 MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN TO INCLUDE NEW FENCE PLANS FOR KAMAL? KAPUALEI AND (2) DRAFT THE PUA AHALA WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE RECENTLY ACQUIRED 800 ACRE PROPERTY. EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT. SINCE 1999, THE EAST MOLOKA I WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP (EMOWP), COORDINATED BY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY (TNC) OF HAWAI I, HAS UNITED LANDOWNERS AND MANAGERS ACROSS EAST MOLOKA I WITH THE GOAL TO PROTECT THE FORESTS, WHICH, IN TURN, PROTECTS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF MOLOKA I S2 WATER SUPPLY. THIS PLANNING PROJECT WILL BENEFIT FROM THE EXISTING LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS MULTIPLE LANDOWNERS AND AGENCIES, ENSURING THAT THE PROJECT IS A COLLABORATIVE PLANNING EFFORT THAT IS ACCEPTED BY THE MOLOKA I COMMUNITY. | Hawaii (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF LAND & NATURAL RESOURCES | $192K | — |

| THE KALAELOA SEAWATER DESALINATION FACILITY DESIGN-BUILD-OPERATE-MAINTAIN PROJECT (PROJECT) SEEKS TO CONSTRUCT A NEW DESALINATION TREATMENT FACILITY (FACILITY) THAT WILL HELP CREATE A NEW RELIABLE SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY AND REDUCE THE REGIONS HEAVY RELIANCE ON GROUNDWATER. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL BE INITIALLY CONSTRUCTED TO PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 1.7 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY (MGD) OF POTABLE PRODUCT WATER. IT WILL BE DESIGNED, BUILT, AND COMMISSIONED WITH SOME PROVISIONS, AS NEEDED, TO EXPAND TO 5 MGD. THE PROJECT WILL BE DELIVERED UTILIZING A DESIGN-BUILD-OPERATE AND MAINTAIN PROJECT DELIVERY (DBOM). TO REDUCE RISK TO THE PROJECT, THE PROJECT TEAM WILL BRING FORWARD AND ADDRESS THREE KEY AREAS OF UNCERTAINTY: 1) ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2) CONCENTRATE DISPOSAL THROUGH SHALLOW INJECTION WELLS AND 3) DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IMPACTS BY MIXING DESALINATED PRODUCT WATER WITH A GROUNDWATER SOURCE SYSTEM WITHIN CAMPBELL INDUSTRIAL PARK. | Hawaii (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | BOARD OF WATER SUPPLY | $19.0M | — |
