Authorized Individual: Henry Kennedy Telephone: (808) 692-7550

Title: Engineering Program Manager, Design Branch

Mailing Address: 601 Kamokila Boulevard, Room 609 Honolulu, HI 96707

2. Type and purpose of activity The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) will be undertaking the Seismic Retrofit, Haleakala Highway, Route 377, Waiale Gulch, Alae (Naalae Gulch, and Pulehu Gulch (Pohakuokala) Bridges project, located along Haleakala Highway, Kula, Maui. See Attachment 1 Location Map.

The project’s purpose is to rehabilitee and seismic retrofit three bridges (Alae Bridge, Pohakuokala Bridge and Waiale Bridge) along Haleakala Highway.

Full roadway closures of each bridge will be required to construct the bridge abutments as this will require excavation behind the abutment approaches, filling in the excavated area with concrete and the installation of soil nails. This work will require full closure of each bridge for up to thirty (30) days per bridge.

Since the abutment construction will require the closure of each bridge, we are also proposing to cover the following work during day, nighttime and weekend hours:

Pier construction including removing debris from the bridge piers, wrapping piers with carbon fiber and pier footing upgrades

Replacement of creep blocks at the bridge bents See Attachment 2 Scope of Work for project plans.

3. Location of activity The project is located at Alae Bridge, Pohakuokala Bridge and Waiale Bridge along Haleakala Highway in Kula on the island of Maui.

All work proposed during Noise Variance hours will be within the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation’s right-of-way. The Project also includes a staging area to support construction activities. Staging areas are places where equipment would be parked / stored during the day and would be mobilized at the beginning of work activities during Noise Variance hours; staging areas may be used during a portion of or throughout the Project’s construction duration.

The proposed project’s staging areas are located within HDOT rights-of-way adjacent to each bridge. See Attachment 1 Location Map for details regarding the Project location, including Staging Area.

4. Time of activity The project’s anticipated start date is as early as November 1, 2026 and major construction activities are expected to be completed within 2 years.

The project requires night and weekend work for the construction of the bridge abutments. The construction of the three bridge’s abutments are proposed to be performed through the daytime, nights and weekends for up to thirty consecutive days of bridge closures at each bridge, a total of 90 days over the duration of the entire project.

The abutment construction would not be scheduled during the seabird fledging season (September 15 to December 15). In addition, HDOT typically suspends construction-related road closures on major state highways during State holidays and during the Holiday season.

We are requesting a Community Noise Variance for two years, from November 1, 2026 to October 31, 2028.

A breakdown of the proposed work hours per day for which the variance is being requested is as follows:

Saturday 6:00 p.m. to Monday 7:00 a.m.

Monday 6:00 p.m. to Tuesday 7:00 a.m.

Tuesday 6:00 p.m. to Wednesday 7:00 a.m.

Wednesday 6:00 p.m. to Thursday 7:00 a.m.

Thursday 6:00 p.m. to Friday 7:00 a.m.

Friday 6:00 p.m. to Saturday 9:00 a.m.

5. Estimated duration of construction activity (Specify dates) The construction duration is estimated to occur from November 1, 2026 to approximately October 31, 2028. A Community Noise Variance is being requested for a two-year duration.

6. Schedule of activity (Submit as attachment) The construction of the entire project is anticipated to be from November 1, 2026 to approximately October 31, 2028. The abutment construction will require the bridge to be closed for up to thirty consecutive days at each bridge. Once construction commences at each bridge, the abutment construction will be performed during daytime, nighttime and weekend hours. The abutment construction will occur within the 2-year project duration and will occur only during the thirty-day closure period of each bridge, a total of ninety days over the duration of the entire project. The pier construction will occur during the 30-day bridge closure period at each bridge, and may also occur prior to and after the bridge closure period during hours allowed under the Community Noise Permit.

7. Description of immediate impact area Existing land use description along Haleakala Road at the three bridges and the staging area are as follows:

Zone Class Zone Description Alae Bridge AG Agricultural District RU-0.5 ½ Acre Rural Pohakuokala Bridge AG Agricultural District INT Interim P-1 Public/Quase-Public R-3 Residential RU-0.5 ½ Acre Rural Waiale Bridge AG Agricultural District

Attachment 3 Zoning Map provides zoning classifications for the affected surrounding area.

Within a 500-foot radius of the project area, including access road and staging areas, there are only residential properties and undeveloped agricultural land.

8. List of equipment to be utilized (attach list if necessary) Equipment proposed to be used and their respective noise levels are shown in Attachment 5 Equipment List.

9. Plans and procedures for the attenuation of noise emission emanating from the activity

Noise abatement measures will include:

The Contractor will be required to maintain all equipment in good working order. All equipment with an exhaust of gas or air will be equipped with mufflers. Any equipment found to be in poor repair or not in compliance with applicable regulations of the State of Hawaii or the County of Maui shall be corrected prior to any use.

Department of Transportation field personnel and the general contractor will monitor all equipment and construction activities on the job site to ensure the use of noise abatement measures. The Contractor will immediately correct any violations that occur.

Instructional meetings will be held for construction crews and truck drivers to discuss noise abatement procedures, including the use of engine brakes, loading and unloading cargo, shouting, use of signal callers, and other practices as required.

A job-site representative will be designated to whom immediate complaints can be forwarded for prompt response and who will have the general responsibility of monitoring quiet work procedures.

The Contractor will have a corrective action program in place that lays out steps and responsibilities to respond to complaints and correct deficiencies.

10. Identify specific provisions of statutes or rules for which the variance is requested (include specific sections)

The specified rules for which the variance is requested are:

Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR), Title 11, Chapter 46, Section 7-(j)-(1), which states “No permit shall allow any construction activities which emit noise…before 7 a.m. and after 6 p.m. of the same day, Monday thru Friday,”;

HAR, Title 11, Chapter 46, Section 7-(j)-(2), which states “No permit shall allow any construction activities which emit noise…before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., on Saturday.”;

and

HAR, Title 11, Chapter 46, Section 7-(j)-(3), which states that “No permit shall allow any construction activities which emit noise…on Sundays and on Holidays.”

11. Description of alternatives to the proposed activity Alternatives to the proposed activity include either (1) no action, or (2) limit construction of the project to daytime hours only.

• No action (Alternative 1) was eliminated from consideration because it fails to address the project’s purpose and need to upgrade Alae Bridge, Pohakuokala Bridge and Waiale Bridge to current seismic standards.

• Limiting construction to daytime hours (Alternative 2) was also eliminated from consideration since performing the abutment construction only during daytime hours would lengthen the timeframe that the bridges would be closed.

12.Describe why the present or proposed activity cannot be altered to comply with applicable statutes or rules

See response for Alternative 2 in Question 11.

Altering the proposed night and weekend work hours to only daytime hours would lengthen the duration of days that the three bridges would be closed, thereby causing a great inconvenience to the motoring public.

13. Description of any adverse environmental effects which cannot be avoided No significant adverse environmental impacts are expected to be caused by the proposed night time and weekend construction of the Alae Bridge, Pohakuakala Bridge and Waiale Bridge abutments. The potential impacts are expected to be short-term and will only last up to thirty consecutive days to complete at each bridge.

14. Discuss the relationship between short-term (temporary) use of the environment, and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity The proposed night and weekend work is intended to shorten the duration of full closure of the Alae Bridge, Pohakuakala Bridge and Waiale Bridge. The elevated noise emissions generated may be bothersome to some in the immediate area, but they will be temporary and short in duration.

The long-term project benefit will allow for continued operation of the three (3) bridges and avoid full bridge replacement along Haleakala Highway.

15. Discuss any irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources which would be involved in the proposed activity.

The activities involved with this work effort will consume energy, concrete materials, and labor.

16. Discuss any possible impact from noise created by any proposed nighttime activity which may affect the immediate surrounding area The surrounding area is residential and agricultural and may experience some temporary inconvenience due to noise generated by nighttime construction.

The most common noise source during construction will be engine powered machinery. The loudest noise will be generated by the concrete saw, hoeram, jack hammer and pavement scarifier machine. Mobile equipment (e.g., trucks) operates in a cyclic manner, and stationary equipment (e.g., generators and compressors) generate noise at fairly constant levels.

17. Discuss any plans or procedures for notification of people in the surrounding area of any planned nighttime activity The following public notices and outreach will be conducted:

Notifications of the 30-Day Public Review Period

For this Noise Variance, HDOT proposes to publish a newspaper advertisement in the The Maui News regarding the proposed night work and invite the public to comment during the 30-day Public Review period. A draft of the proposed newspaper announcement is provided in Attachment 6 Newspaper Ad.

Residents and businesses within a 500-foot radius of the bridges including staging areas (see Attachment 4 Noise Map), will be sent notices informing them about the 30-day Public Review period and inviting them to comment on the proposed night and weekend work. See Attachment 7 Mailing List and Attachment 8 Notice to Residents and Businesses flyer.

The Maui County Council Upcountry, Hawaii State Senate District 5 Representative, Hawaii State District 12 Representative will be contacted to inform them about the Public Review Period and to solicit comments on the Community Noise Variance.

The public will be allowed 30 calendar days to submit written comments.

Notification and Updates Prior to and During Construction

• Residents in surrounding neighborhoods that may use the roadway and be impacted by the project will be given advanced notice in advance of work during Community Noise Variance hours.

• Residents and businesses within a 500-foot radius of the bridges including staging areas, will also be sent notices in advance of the start of night and weekend work and will be provided with the Department of Transportation’s website information and name and phone number of a contact person, as previously noted. The website will be regularly updated with times and locations of night work. Any complaints should be directed to the contact person for response. See Attachment 4 Noise Map which identifies the affected residences and businesses within a 500 foot radius of the project. See Attachment 7 Mailing List and Attachment 9 Notice to Motorist flyer which will be distributed prior to construction.

• The Maui County Council Upcountry Representative, Hawaii State Senate District 5 Representative, Hawaii State District 12 Representative will be contacted to inform them about the start of the proposed night work.

• Message boards will be located within the project limits, in both directions to notify motorists of night work several days prior to the start of construction in the area.

18. Describe the purpose of the project as relating to public interest The purpose of the proposed project is to rehabilitate and seismic retrofit three Maui bridges (Alae Bridge, Pohakuokala Bridge and Waiale Bridge). This requires night work to construct the bridge abutments. This work will improve the service life of the three bridges.

Maintaining HDOT’s Highways infrastructure will allow the highway to operate more efficiently, improve vehicular safety and motorist comfort, and achieve higher energy savings.

Additionally, regular maintenance such as this defers complete bridge replacement, which is a much costlier and time-consuming endeavor.
