Summary:

The Office of Mauna Kea Management (OMKM) prepared this long-term archaeological monitoring plan (AMP) for significant historic properties located within the Mauna Kea Science Reserve (MKSR), the Mauna Kea Access Road Corridor (MKARC), and the Mid-Level Facilities at Hale Pohaku, collectively referred to as the University of Hawaii (UH) Management Area on Mauna Kea (Figure 1). The AMP was prepared in accordance with the Board of Land and Natural Resources-approved (BLNR) Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) for the UH Management Area on Mauna Kea (Ho‘akea 2009). Significant historic properties within the UH Management Area are vulnerable to intentional and unintentional human impact as well as damage from natural erosion, biological invasion, weather, and geological events (e.g., landslides and earthquakes). The vulnerability of individual properties varies and is dependent on location, property type, and pre-existing physical condition, as well as influences outside the control of OMKM such as development beyond the boundaries of the UH Management Area that could alter/facilitate access. This long-term historic property monitoring plan provides OMKM with tools to implement and evaluate an inspection program, establish parameters to assess the effectiveness of the program and, in consultation with the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) and the Kahu Ku Mauna Council (KKMC), develop measures to mitigate adverse impacts.
