National Park Service officialsappreciate the elimination of thegeothermal power plant and wellsproposed to be built closest to theThurston Lava Tube, and an in­creased buffer zone, but still sup­port the idea of a land exchangefor the Campbell Estate's geo­thermal project.

In a September letter to stateDepartment of Land and NaturalResources Chairman SusumuOno, park service western regiondirector Howard Chapmansuggested that it would be wor­thwhile to consider exchangingKahauale'a land for propertywithinthe Puna Forest Reserve.

According to Chapman,Kahauale'a would make an out­standing state forest reserve dueto the high quality of its ohiaforest, whereas the Puna forestarea is of a much lesser forestquality.

Chapman said the park serviceis pleased with the increasing ofthe buffer zonefrom 1,000 teet to2,000 feet between the CampbellEstate project and the HawaiiVolcanoesNationalPark.

Some .5,300 acres atKahauale'a-a conservation dis­trict owned by Campbell Estateadjacent to the National park-isone of the proposed geothermalresourcesubzones.

Chapman also said "a major'issue remaining for the entirestate is the industrialization ofconservation lands. When it canbe stated that economic benefitcan 'outweigh any impact on theconservation district,' then con­servation zoning has little sig­nificance.

Dear HI'. CIlO:

...,

,~ w:::JUld like to eaunent .on the recently pmlished report on geotheJ:mal resourceb'UbzoneSi in particular an the subzone designated within Kahauale'" adjacent toHa\'1aii Volcanoes National Park. '!be State of Hawaii has taken a major positivestep in assessing all potential 9eothexmal sit'!s ana statewide basis. In thi.amanner they can be rjUl)ted in priority based on all the factors you considered.As shown in the report, it appears clear that the subzone in lower PIJnA \iKJUld bethe desirable place to begin 9eothermal develaptent on the Big Island. It alsoa~5 thiat yCA.lr ~ings confim this, considering the &t;J:ang public f\UppOrtfor the lower Puna aubzane. .

we are pleased that the upper east rift subzone eliminates the power plant andwells adjacent to the 'lhurston Lava 'lUbe section of the National Park. We alsoappreciate the extension af the buffer zone fI01\ 1,000 feet fran the park boundaryto 2,000 feet. Strict adherence to all controls already established by the Boaxdfor the previously dete.Irni.ned pemi.tted use zane should be fol1Clt11ed.

At this time, l<ahauale' a is still a large area of closed canopy cili I a forest ofhigh biological and aesthetic value. It \1lCUld make an outstanding state forestreserve if it cculd he exchanged for the Puna Forest Reserve which has been shownby biologists to be of nuch less value. If .that were done, a larger developnentcculd be built as originally planned for Kahauale'a. .

A major isSue remaini.nq for the entire statl= is the industrializaticn of c:onser­vatioo lands. \tIlen i~ can be stated that etx:Inanic benefit can ·outweigh any

2

IJT\i--UCt on the conservation district. II then conservation zoning has llttl~~ ign.i.ficance. ' . . .

We aptlr~iate the o~ty~. cannent on~e proposed Geothe:mal Reswrce .~)ubzanes. We e.nca.1I'age you to continue to carefully weigh Hawaii I Ii iJrportantndLural and scenic values along with econaniC needs.

Sincerely,
