The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands has been in a position to raise objections to various applications for water use permits, particularly in Windward O'ahu, on the basis that water reservations were yet required to meet statutory obligations to Hawaiian home lands.

Please be advised that as the proposed water reservations in O'ahu and Moloka'i water management areas are finalized, our objections for this reason are thereby withdrawn.

APPROVAL OF PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY WORK FOR CHANNEL ALlERADQN

Ms. Loui reviewed the procedures being submitted for approval, stating that the description of what qualifies for emergency work is taken from the administrative rules. These procedures would clarify the process of how the Commission is notified after the Chairperson's approval.

Discussion followed on what types of work are considered "emergency" and what is not. In response to how it would be publicized, Ms. Loui stated it would be placed in the bulletin and newsletter, public service radio, and through the rule-making procedures. Mr. Ing suggested that a phone and fax number be included should people have questions.

Mr. Martin presented testimony that the proposal should be passed through the Stream Protection and Management Task Force prior to its presentation to the Commission for decision-making.

Honolulu, Hawaii

September 1, 1993

Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management State of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii

Gentlemen:

Applicant:

Gentaro Ota P.O. Box 561 Kaaawa, HI 96730

Background

Gentaro Ota Application for a Water Use Permit

Ota Well (Well No. 3453-03) Kahana Ground Water Management Area. Oahu

Landowner:

Same

The applicant submitted a completed water use permit application to the Commission on June 4, 1993. Specific information regarding the source, use, notification, objections, and field investigation(s) are described in Attachment A and the attached exhibits.

Analysis & Issues

This existing artesian source supplies about 6,000 gallons per day of fresh water from the Kahana Aquifer System for irrigation of two (2) acres of banana trees and various vegetables. This request is to continue a use that has been in existence for about twenty-five (25) years. Since the quantity of water requested is relatively small and the request is for an existing use, unacceptable adverse impacts on other local wells, streams, and the Kahana Aquifer System are not anticipated. No specific objections to this application have been submitted to the Commission.

To date, reports of actual monthly water usage have not been submitted by the applicant. However, Standard Condition No. 11 of a water use permit for this existing amount is that the applicant submit a yearly summary of monthly water use.

As of August 24, 1993, there were three (3) other pending applications for water use permits in the Kahana Aquifer System requesting a total of 0.514 million gallons per day (mgd) of water (about 4% of the aquifer system's estimated sustainable yield). Therefore, pending applications fall well within the aquifer system's estimated sustainable yield. The Commission should also consider that this figure does not include a previous application for 1.500 mgd from the Koolau Agriculture Co. On April 28, 1993 the Commission denied this application without prejudice to allow well construction, but even if this application were to be approved allocations would fall well within the aquifer system's sustainable yield.

ITEM 7

o o Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management September 1,1993

RECOMMENDATION

Attach.

That the Commission approve the issuance of an interim water use permit to Gentaro Ota to use 6,000 gallons per day of fresh water for use from the Ota Well (Well No. 3453-03), subject to the standard water use permit conditions listed in Attachment B and the following special conditions:

1. The water use permit shall be an interim permit subject to the five-year verification period afforded to existing users.

Nearby Surrounding Wells and Other Registered Ground Water Use

There are twenty-three (23) other wells within a mile of the well (see Exhibit 1). Thirteen (13) of these wells are currently in use. Information from the registration program indicates there are possibly thirty-seven (37) existing wells in the Kahana Aquifer System. Several of these wells have been initially field checked but many of the declarants, including the larger users, have not been completely field verified. Several are not in use or are rights claims. The Oahu Water Use and Development Plan estimated that the existing withdrawals from the Kahana Aquifer System is 0.1 mgd as of 1990.

Public Notice

In accordance with HAR §13-171-17, a public notice was published in the StarBulletin on July 9, 1993 and July 16, 1993 and copies of the notice were sent to the Mayor's office and the Board of Water Supply. Additional notice copies were sent to the County Council and Department of Water Supply. Copies of the completed application were sent to the Department of Health, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Aquatic Resources, Historic Preservation, and other divisions of the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and other interested parties for comments. Written comments and objections to the proposed permit were to be submitted to the Commission by July 30, 1993.

Objections/Comments

The public notice specifies that an objector meet the following requirements: (1) state property or other interest in the matter; (2) set forth questions of procedure, fact, law, or policy, to which objections are taken; (3) state all grounds for objections to the proposed permits, (4) provide a copy of the objection letter(s) to the applicant, and (5) submit objections meeting the previous requirements to the Commission by July 30, 1993.

To the best of staffs knowledge there are no objectors who have property interest within the Kahana Aquifer System or who will be directly and immediately affected by the proposed water use. All objections and/or comments to the application are summarized as follows:

We rel terate our general obJ ectl0ns to current COWRMI:';;~~ter· use permit application processing and decisionmaking practi¢e~ as(.lo> , previously submitted on numerous occasions (10/12/92, ~:l:0'l21~, 12/1/92, 6/22/93, & 7/8/93).

SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS KAWAILOA 208 1 WELL , ~ POAMOHO A WELL ~~DS'~~

In addition to the above-stated and referenced general objections, Native Hawaiian Advisory Council (NHAC) specifically objects to these applications. NHAC has property interest in land within the hydrologic unit of the source of water supply and will be directly and immediately affected by the proposed water uses.

(1) Property and other interest in the matter

NHAC leases 4.5 acres of agricultural land in Waialua, TMK 1-6-6-23-4. The 'land holds correlative water rights and may hold appurtenant and riparian water rights. As lessee, NHAC may exercise these rights as they exist. Native Hawaiian employees and associates of NHAC may also exercise their traditional and customary rights on this land and on other lands in the area.

NHAC registered water sources on the property and declared their uses to the Commission on Water Resource Management (COWRM). Groundwater allocation from the artesian well (#3407-02) to Shizuo Kunihiro was authorized by the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) in 1981. NHAC has notified COWRM of its disputation of this allocation process, filed a water use permit application for existing and new uses from the artesian well, and asked Shizuo Kunihiro to transfer the 1981 BLNR groundwater withdrawal and use certification to NHAC. Flows from this well and from other water sources on fhe property are reused by several downstream farmers.

"". o o (2) Questions of procedure, fact, law, and policy

PROCEDURE

1. COWRM has not finalized its procedures for processing water use permi t applications in newly designated (post-water Code) and existing (pre-water Code) Water Management Areas. Procedures which have been established are not applied uniformly across all Water Management Areas, especially with regard to bulk allocations to county departments of water supply and reservations to Hawaiian Home Lands.

2. COWRM has not limited bulk allocation from Waialua aquifer to the Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS), nor has it reserved water from the aquifer to Hawaiian Home Lands.

3. COWRM has not established procedures for processing competing water use permit applications, especially in cases where existing uses compete with new uses.

4. COWRM has not established guidelines and criteria for determining "reasonable and beneficial use" and "public interest." Issuance of water use permits requires such determination.

5. BLNR's 1981 allocation procedure in the Waialua Ground Water Control Area is not fully documented and is disputed by NHAC. COWRM has not vigorously pursued resolution of these issues, which NHAC most recently raised at the July 28, 1993 COWRM meeting. At this meeting, Mr. Ing and Mr. Chuck (who were also present and involved at the September 11, 1981 BLNR meeting when these allocations were made) failed to offer any information about these issues.

6. NHAC's dispute over existing allocations to wells 3406-06 and 3407-02 must be resolved before permitting of new uses can proceed.

7. The Kawailoa 208' well application states the location of proposed water use to be "within the Waialua/Haleiwa public water system." It seems that this application should therefore be incorporated into bulk allocation to BWS rather than be separately issued to Kamehameha Schools/Bishop Estate.

8. COWRM has not scheduled a public hearing to consider the objections previously raised to Poamoho Venture's water use permit application for Poamoho A Well as required by the Water Code.

FACT

1. Existing allocations in the Waialua aquifer made to wells 3406-06 and 3407-0.2 combined were based on "No data" (BLNR minutes of 9/11/81) .

2. Existing combined allocation to these wells must be separated and transferred. The wells are situated on different parcels with

· " ... o o different owners and operators, and are no longer used by the person still holding the 1981 BLNR certification (Shizuo Kunihiro) .

3. Existing available allocations in the Waialua aquifer cannot accommodate applicants' quantities of water requested.

4. Water use permit applications from NHAC (existing and new use) compete with these applications (new use only).

5. The Board of Water Supply has not commenced environmental review for the proposed Kawailoa 208' well as mandated by HRS 343.

LAW

1. Privately developed wells slated for dedication to county boards of water supply are required to comply with the HRS 343 environmental review process.

POLICY

Policy questions related to COWRM procedure are listed above under PROCEDURE.

(3) Grounds for objection

1. General and specific objections to COWRM procedure and policy as stated and questioned above.

2. The proposed uses of water cannot be accommodated with the available water source •

. '-3. Three applications are pending for a quantity of water that is inadequate for all. The Commission has not yet sought to allocate water in such a manner as to accommodate all applications, has not determined whether or not mutual sharing is possible, and has not elicited criteria or proceedings for determination of which applications best serve the public interest.

4. The Commission has not yet resolved a dispute involving existing allocations to wells 3406-06 and 3407-02.

5. The proposed' source development at Kawailoa 208' well has not completed the environmental review process as required by HRS 343.

Rae M. Loui, Deputy Director Commission on Water Resource Management

Comments on Water Use Permit Application for Gentaro Ota for Well No. 3453-03 for the Kahana Ground Water Management Area, Oahu

The application involves releasing approximately 6,000 gallons of water per day from an existing artesian well near Punaluu Stream for agricultural irrigation. Because this is an existing well and the quantity of water to be used is small, we do not believe that any loss of habitat for stream biota will occur. We therefore have no objections to the proposal.

FIELD NOTES Field inspection lasted from 11:40 AM to 12:00 noon. Weather was sunny, but it

had stormed the previous week. Mr. Ota has an artesian well which is 10" in diameter. At the

time that the well was constructed (approximately 25 years ago), there was a static head of 21 feet

on the well. Mr. Ota approximates the head to be 10 feet now. Four different lines, each with a

separate valve, are attached to the well. A 6" pipe was used to supply a commercial aquaculture

operation. This operation was discontinued in 1984. Water from a 2" hose was used for irrigation

of watercress up until 1984. Water from a 1.5" hose is currently being used for irrigation of a small

taro patch, watering a yard, and for drinking at one sink. Water flows continuously from a 1.25"

hose into a small ditch lined with watercress to supply the taro patch. A flow from the well of 1.5

MGD was measured when the well was being used for commercial purposes. Runoff water flows

into an old plantation drainage ditch.

1 BROWN AND CALDWELL Summary Report for Water Use Permit No. 219

o Beneficial Use Explanation:

Background Information

o

Currendy uses water for Furo (Japanese Bath Tub)

and wash driveway

State Well No. 3453-03 is governed by Water Use Permit 219 and was originally drilled in the

early 1960's. There are no water use records on file for this well for at least the past four years.

Water Use Permit 219 was approved during the September 1st, 1993 Commission on Water

Resource Management meeting. This water source has been in use for at least 15 years by Mr.

Gentaro Ota. Standard conditions 1-11, 13-14, 16,20-23 are the governing conditions for this

water use permit. A complete list of all standard and special conditions is given in the final

summary report to the Legislature for this 20-year Water Use Permit Review.

Field Investigation Information

Contact:

Site Address:

Gentaro Ota

53-370A Kamehameha Hwy

Kaaawa, HI 96730

Brown and Caldwell conducted a field investigation on May 5th, 2008 from 12:00 p.m. until 1:30

p.m. with Mr. Gentaro Ota. During this time, type of water usage was verified, GPS coordinates

of well head(s) were recorded, and functionality were documented, and property TMK

information was verified. The wellhead, its related appurtenances, and water usage area were

visually inspected to assess compliance with permit conditions. Visual inspection of water

loss/waste was limited to outdoor areas within the usage boundary. Reference the TMK and

GIS maps in the permit file for a visual representation of the site.

Summary of Findings for Water Use Permit No. 219

State Well No. 3453-03 is located on TMK parcel (1) 5-3-005:006 at 21 0 34' 45.8" N, 1570 53'

21.6" W, with a real time accuracy of ±18 feet. Water is drawn from the artesian well (approx

head 8' high to 4' low of water) and sent to a small 350 gallon Furo (Japanese bath tub) once

every two months to change out the water. There is also is another oudet that is hooked up to a

pressure washer that is used to pressure wash and clean the permittees driveway. Reference the

Appendix for photographs of the previously described system components.

Based upon visual inspection of the system, all components appear to be in full working order.

Water is being used within the permitted TMK boundaries. There is no flowmeter installed and

no water use reporting records on file. The permittee believes that he is exempt from reporting


o o

under HAR §13-168-7, which governs measuring and reporting monthly water use. However,

the Water Use Permit conditions specifically state that a flowmeter must be installed and

reporting sent to the Commission on a yearly basis. In addition, the permittee's beneficial use

description states that the water is to be used for agricultural irrigation purposes. Since the water

is clearly being utilized for purposes other than agriculture, it is evident that the permittee is in

violation of their original beneficial use declaration.

The following are a list of standard condition(s) that the permittee is found to be in non

compliance with:

(1) The water described in this water use permit may only be taken from the location described and used for the reasonable beneficial use described at the location described above. Reasonable beneficial uses means "the use of water in such a quantity as is necessary for economic and efficient utilization, which is both reasonable and consistent with State and County land use plans and the public interest." (HRS § 174C-3).

(10) An approved flowmeter(s) must be installed to measure withdrawals and a monthly record of withdrawals, water-levels, salinity, and temperature must be kept and reported to the Commission on a yearly basis in accordance with the Commission's September 16, 1992 action on reporting requirements.

Since there are no monthly water use or salinity reports being submitted to the Commission, the permittee

is found to be in violation of Standard Condition (10). Since water from the well is being used for purposes

other than what was originally permitted for beneficial end use, the permittee is found to be in violation of

Standard Condition (1).

Recommendations

• Address the following discrepancies between the Commission's electronic database and

actual field investigation findings:

o Beneficial use description

• Address violation of Standard Condition (10) regarding non-reporting of water use and

salinity levels

• Address violation of Standard Condition (1) regarding beneficial water use for purposes

other than originally stated

Comments To Make:

•

•

•

•

Although we prefer that you do not change your scheduled field investigation time, if you require a reschedule, you must provide Brown and Caldwell with at least five (5) working days notice of the need to reschedule. A representative from Brown & Caldwell will be making a reminder phone call to you sometime during the week prior to your scheduled field investigation. It is very important that you provide access to the site at the day and time agreed upon. Due to a very tight schedule, if you fail to provide access at the agreed upon time and/or do not reschedule with at least a five (5) working day notice, a makeup date will not be allowed. If for some reason you don't know where your well head is located, it would be a good idea to locate it prior to your field investigation to help make the visit go quickly and smoothly.

COMMISSION ON WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Department of Land and Natural Resources

Honolulu, Hawaii

September 1, 1993

Chairperson and Members Commission on Water Resource Management State of Hawaii Honolulu, Hawaii

Gentlemen:

Applicant:


Background

Gentaro Ota Application for a Water Use Permit

Ota Well (Well No. 3453-03) Kahana Ground Water Management Area. Oahu

Landowner:

Same

The applicant submitted a completed water use permit application to the Commission on June 4, 1993. Specific information regarding the source, use, notification, objections, and field investigation(s) are described in Attachment A and the attached exhibits.

Analysis & Issues

This existing artesian source supplies about 6,000 gallons per day of fresh water from the Kahana Aquifer System for irrigation of two (2) acres of banana trees and various vegetables. This request is to continue a use that has been in existence for about twenty-five (25) years. Since the quantity of water requested is relatively small and the request is for an existing use, unacceptable adverse impacts on other local wells, streams, and the Kahana Aquifer System are not anticipated. No specific objections to this application have been submitted to the Commission.

To date, reports of actual monthly water usage have not been submitted by the applicant. However, Standard Condition No. 11 of a water use permit for this existing amount is that the applicant submit a yearly summary of monthly water use.

As of August 24, 1993, there were three (3) other pending applications for water use permits in the Kahana Aquifer System requesting a total of 0.514 million gallons per day (mgd) of water (about 4% of the aquifer system's estimated sustainable yield). Therefore, pending applications fall well within the aquifer system's estimated sustainable yield. The Commission should also consider that this figure does not include a previous application for 1.500 mgd from the Koolau Agriculture Co. On April 28, 1993 the Commission denied this application without prejudice to allow well construction, but even if this application were to be approved allocations would fall well within the aquifer system's sustainable yield.

ITEM 7

o Chairperson and Members

September 1,1993 Commission on Water Resource Management

RECOMMENDATION

A IT ACHMENT A


STANDARD WATER USE PERMIT CONDITIONS

1. The ground water described in the water use permit may only be taken from the location described, used for the reasonable-beneficial use described, and at the location described above and in the attachments. Reasonable-beneficial use means "the use of water in such a quantity as is necessary for economic and efficient utilization, for a purpose, and in a manner which is not wasteful and is both reasonable and consistent with the state and county land use plans and the public interest." (HAR §13-171-2).


3. The water use must at all times meet the requirements set forth in HAR §13-171-13 which means that it:

a. Can be accommodated with the available water source; b. Is a reasonable-beneficial use as defined in section §13-171-2; c. Will not interfere with any existing legal use of water; d. Is consistent with the public interest; e. Is consistent with state and county general plans and land use designations; f. Is consistent with county land use plans and policies; and g. Will not interfere with the rights of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands as

provided in section 221 of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act.

4. The ground water must not interfere with surface or ground water rights or reservations.

5. The ground water use must not interfere with interim or permanent instream flow standards. If it does, then:



6. The water use permit is subject to the requirements of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, as amended, if applicable.

7. The water use permit application and staff submittal approved by the Commission at its September 1, 1993 meeting are incorporated into the permit by reference.

8. Any modification of the permit terms, conditions, or uses can only be made with the express written consent of the Commission on Water Resource Management.

9. The water use permit may be modified by the Commission and the amount of water initially granted to the permittee may be reduced if the Commission determines it is necessary to:

a. b. c. d. e.

Protect water sources in quantity, quality, or both; Meet other legal obligations including other correlative rights; Insure adequate conservation measures; Require efficiency of water uses; Reserve water for future uses, provided that all legal existing uses of water as of June 1987, shall be protected;

ATTACHMENT B


f. Meet legal obligations to the Department of Hawaiian Homes, if applicable; or g. Carry out such other necessary and proper exercise of the State's and the

Commissions's police powers under law as may be required.

Prior to any reduction, the Commission shall give notice of its proposed action to the permittee and provide the permittee an opportunity to be heard.

10. If the ground water source is not existing, the development of the new well shall be completed, i.e. able to withdraw water for the proposed use on a regular basis, within twenty-four (24) months from the date the water use permit is approved.

11. An approved flowmeter(s) must be installed to measure withdrawals and a monthly record of withdrawals, water-levels, salinity, and temperature must be kept and reported to the Commission on a yearly basis in accordance the Commission's September 16, 1992 action on reporting requirements;

12. The water use permit shall be subject to the Commission's periodic review of the applicable aquifer's sustainable yield. The amount of ground water use authorized by the permit may be reduced by the Commission if the sustainable yield of the Kahana Aquifer System, or relevant modified aquifer, is reduced;

13. The water use permit may not be transferred or the use rights granted by this permit sold or in any other way alienated. Pursuant to HAR §13-171-25 and the requirements of Chapter 174C, the Commission has the authority to allow the transfer of the permit and the use rights granted by the permit in a manner consistent with HAR § 13-171-25. Any such transfer shall only occur with the Commission's prior express written approval. Any sale, assignment, lease, alienation, or other transfer of any interest in this permit shall be void.

14. The use(s) authorized by law and by the water use permit do not constitute ownership rights.

15. The permittee shall request modification of the permit when necessary to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and ordinances which will affect the permittee's water use.

16. The permittee shall prepare and submit a water shortage plan within 30 days of issuance of the permit to assist the Commission in fulfilling HAR §13-171-42(c). The permittee's water shortage plan shall identify what the permittee is willing to do should the Commission declare a water shortage in the Kahana Ground Water Management Area.

17. The water use permit granted shall be an interim water use permit, as allowed under HAR §13-171-21. The final determination of the water use quantity shall be made within five years of the filing of the application to continue the existing use.

18. The water use permit shall be issued only after AG review.
