CLEAN WATER AND NATURAL LANDS COMMISSION SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR LAND ACQUISITION FUNDING
Funding will support efforts to preserve and protect lands that have cultural significance, abundant natural resources, and recreational value on Oahu
The Honolulu City Council announced that applications are now being accepted for awarding funds for land acquisition through an application process established by its Clean Water and Natural Lands Commission (Commission). Applications will be reviewed by the Commission, which will make recommendations to the City Council on projects to be funded through the Clean Water and Natural Lands Fund. Final selection of projects to be funded will be made by the City Council as part of the annual budget process. Applications are due October 1, 2010 at 4:00 P.M.
“The City Council has approved a total of five outstanding Oahu land conservation projects in the first two cycles of applications to this Fund,” said City Council Chair Todd Apo. “The Council encourages the public to work with the Commission through the application process and to provide input that will assist it in making its recommendations to the Council.” To date, the City Council has approved acquisition of the following conservation projects: Kukaniloko, Sunset Ranch, Honouliuli Preserve, Kunia Agricultural Research Station, and the Fong Plantation.
According to Commission Chair Marjorie Ziegler, the Commission has established an application process that reviews various criteria, including protection of watershed lands, historical or culturally significant land areas and sites, forests, beaches, coastal areas, and agriculture lands.
Proposed projects may seek preservation of these areas through acquisition of fee title or conservation easements. Ziegler said that the Commission will also consider factors such as the degree of urgency, financial support from other sources, and how a proposed project relates to the city’s existing budgetary or other priorities.
In 2006, Honolulu voters approved a charter amendment that set aside a portion of real property tax revenues for land conservation. In 2007, the Council established the Clean Water and Natural Lands Fund (Ordinance 07-18) and the Commission (Reso. 07-355 CD1). The Commission was established to advise the City Council on the use and expenditure of these funds. For more information about the Commission and the grant application process please visit http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/council/cbc/cwnl.htm

Call to Educators -- Hawaii Green Collar Institute
From: Malama Learning Center
Aloha,
We would appreciate your help in recruiting participants for an exciting new program for Leeward Oahu's high school and college students regarding "green" jobs. Please see the message below and the links to application materials for the Hawai'i Green Collar Institute.
For more information, please contact me directly or info@malamalearningcenter.org.
MAKE SOME GREEN
FOR BEING GREEN
The Hawai‘i Green Collar Institute (HGCI) is now open for Leeward O‘ahu high school and college students. HGCI’s new program will introduce students to environmental and climate change issues in their communities and open doors to future jobs in environmental or “green collar” careers.
Over four weekends spanning five months (October to March), students will visit sites on O‘ahu to learn about food security, waste and recycling, energy, and the health of our oceans and streams. On these visits, they'll gain hands-on experience with jobs that relate to each site and also interact with professionals to better understand those jobs. They'll also work in teams to complete an educational project that benefits their community.
Upon completion of the program, including a group project, students will receive an award of $200 as well as exposure to many new jobs that take care of our island home.
To apply, students must complete an application and submit two reference forms, all due on September 1, 2010.
Click HERE for Application Instructions.
If the $25 application registration fee would be a hardship on your family, click HERE for an application for a scholarship to cover the registration fee.

HONOLULU - More than 50 people attended the first-ever Native American Graves Protection and Reverend Kaleo Patterson, a NAGPRA Workshop Participant, asks the Workshop panelists about processes.
Repatriation Act workshop sponsored by U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii's Native Hawaiian Liaison Office and the Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement at the Hale Koa Hotel, July 29.
Among those attending were representatives of Native Hawaiian organizations, community leaders, and concerned citizens.
The purpose of the workshop was to share the NAGPRA statute with the Native Hawaiian community and explain the process by which Native Hawaiian organizations and lineal descendants may claim human remains, cultural items, and items of cultural patrimony.
NAGPRA, a 1990 federal law, requires federal agencies, which include military installations, to inventory and return Native American cultural items - human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects or objects of ancestral cultural heritage - to lineal descendants and/or culturally-affiliated Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations.
Native Hawaiian community members participate in a workshop on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act at the Hale Koa Hotel, Waikiki.
In May, the Army notified the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Office and the Oahu Burial Council of the inadvertent discovery of human bone fragments by Army-contracted archaeological and cultural monitors during routine construction at Schofield Barracks.
As part of the NAGPRA process and USAG-HI's Inadvertent Discovery Plan, the Army will be querying the community to identify potential claimants. The Army will consult with the claimants on the final disposition of the remains.
"In anticipation of this action, we decided to conduct this workshop on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and to invite Native Hawaiian organization representatives to participate, to learn more about the law, and enable them to make an informed decision as to whether or not participation in this process is appropriate," said Col. Douglas Mulbury, commander, USAG-HI, in his opening remarks. "We share a common interest. We both want to do what is right and proper, we both want to act with integrity and honor, and we both take responsibility for the tasks before us."
The workshop began with an overview of NAGPRA by Kerry Abramson, USAG-HI and
8th Theater Sustainment Command attorney, followed by Dr. Laurie Lucking, USAG-HI archeologist, who covered the garrison's responsibilities under the law.
A lunch panel by June Cleghorn, U.S. Marine Corps archeologist, and Dawn Chang, a consultant on Native Hawaiian cultural issues and former Hawaii deputy attorney general who drafted a similar state law following enactment of NAGPRA, discussed the sensitive nature of these issues.
"I can't stress the importance of early consultation, working with families and other interested parties, when discoveries of cultural items are made," Chang said.
"The sharing of information is so important for many reasons," said Annelle Amaral, Native Hawaiian liaison, USAG-HI. "For the community, access to this type of information empowers Native Hawaiians to care for our kuleana. For the Army, the workshop was the opportunity to better explain these sometimes confusing laws and procedures."
The afternoon consisted of open discussion and questions between attendees and workshop presenters.
"It is hard for Hawaiians to speak of burials because these matters were always "huna" (secret). Usually, someone was designated in the family who dealt with such matters," said Phyllis Coochie Cayan, who attended the workshop on behalf of Hui Kako'o 'Aina Ho'opulapula, a Native Hawaiian organization.
Since NAGPRA's inception, 38,671 remains; 1,142,894 funerary objects; and 4,303 sacred objects have been transferred to lineal descendants, culturally-affiliated Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations throughout the United States.
The Native Hawaiian Liaison to the Hawaii Army Garrison Commander was created to build relationships between Army soldiers and their families with the Native Hawaiian community.

Update on BWS Water System Improvement Project on Farrington Highway
From: Kurt Tsue [KTsue@hbws.org] On Behalf Of FarringtonProjects
Aloha,
The Board of Water Supply (BWS) wishes to extend its thanks and appreciation to all of you one the Leeward Coast for your continued patience and understanding regarding the BWS’s necessary water system improvement projects along Farrington Highway.
Construction crews have finished replacing a vital 24-inch transmission main that carries approximately 60% of the drinking water into the Leeward Coast between Haleakala Avenue and Black Rock. The BWS would like to thank the community for its collaboration throughout the project. Working together, the BWS was able to modify the traffic control plans to open the emergency access bridge to help alleviate traffic back up.
Meanwhile, the second phase of this project to replace the 24-inch main between Black Rock and Aliinui Drive is continuing. Because this area is outside of a residential zone, work is being conducted at night to help minimize the traffic impact on the community. The Contractor has placed additional crews on the road and in the shoulder area in an effort to keep the project on schedule. Currently the lane closure area is from the Waimanalo Gulch Landfill to the end of the Kahe Power Plant. We have posted reduced speed limit signs in the construction zone to aid in the safety of both the men working in the construction site and the public driving through the construction site. An electronic signboard will be placed near Ko’olina this week to have the drivers aware of the potential delays. Working hours of construction for this phase of the project is 7:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. The anticipated completion date for this project is in March 2011, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The BWS will continue to keep the community apprised as we work to complete this critical water system improvement project. If you have any questions or concerns about this project, you can contact contact Okada Trucking Co. at 841-0138. Please also continue to visit www.boardofwatersupply.com or to the BWS Construction Section at 748-5730.

HAWAI‘I’S LEGACY LAND CONSERVATION PROGRAM SEEKS APPLICANTS FOR LAND ACQUISITION FUNDING
The Department of Land and Natural Resources’(DLNR) Legacy Land Conservation Program (LLCP) is seeking applicants for grants from the State Land Conservation Fund to fund the protection, through acquisition, of lands having value as a resource to the State of Hawai‘i.
“The Legacy Land Conservation Program provides an annual source of funding for the acquisition and conservation of watersheds; coastal areas, beaches, and ocean access; habitat protection; cultural and historic sites; recreational and public hunting areas; parks; natural areas; agricultural production; and open spaces and scenic resources,” said Laura H. Thielen, DLNR Chairperson.
State agencies, county agencies, and non-profit land conservation organizations may apply for funding. Proposed projects may include acquisition of fee title or conservation easements. County agencies and non-profit project applicants must be able to provide at least 25 percent of the total project costs.
The 2010-2011 application cycle may provide approximately $4 million in grants, awarded through a competitive process and subject to any budget restrictions. Ten percent of the State’s land conveyance tax is set aside annually in the Land Conservation Fund for the purpose of protecting Hawai‘i’s unique and valuable resource lands. Project applications will be reviewed by the Legacy Land Conservation Commission, which will nominate projects for funding.
Projects are subject to the approval of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, consultation with the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, review by the Department of the Attorney General and the approval of the Governor. Final awards are subject to the availability of funds.
Earlier this year, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved and Governor Lingle released approximately $3.3 million from the Land Conservation Fund for seven projects to acquire and protect properties that have value as natural or cultural resources to the State. The release of these State funds helped secure approximately $9.5 million in matching federal, county, and private funds toward the protection of these lands.
Since its inception in 2006, the Legacy Land Conservation Program has awarded an average of $3.4 million in grant funding per year, protecting a total of approximately 7,220 acres of lands having natural, cultural, and agricultural resource value, and leveraging a total of about $37.8 million in matching federal, private, and county funds.
Starting July 30, 2010 the 2010-2011 LLCP Grant Application and instructions are available at
http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dofaw/llcp
Applications must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on September 16, 2010.
For more information on the Legacy Land Conservation Program, please visit
http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/dofaw/llcp or call (808) 586-0921.

30 second news in brief: State and county agencies, and non-profit land conservation organizations may now apply for grants from the State Land Conservation Fund to acquire lands for resource protection. Funding can be used for conservation of watersheds; coastal areas, beaches, and ocean access; habitat protection; cultural and historic sites and much more.

Since its inception in 2006, the Legacy Land Conservation Program has awarded an average of $3.4 million in grant funding per year, protecting a total of approximately 7,220 acres of lands having natural, cultural, and agricultural resource value, and leveraging a total of about $37.8 million in matching federal, private, and county funds.
