Where, and how can I review an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)?
The best place to check first is the Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC) in the State Department of Health, 235 S. Beretania St., Suite 702, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813. Phone is (808) 586-4185. Environmental Impact Statements and Environmental Assessments on proposed (and approved) projects may be reviewed there. OEQC publishes a bimonthly bulletin (Environmental Notice) listing statements or assessments that have been received. OEQC can also tell you where to call within a state or county agency to review the documents on file for public review. EA/EIS for projects requiring approval by the Board of Land and Natural Resources may be reviewed at OEQC, or at the appropriate DLNR division office. The division sponsoring the project will have the EA/EIS for the project. Not all EA/EISs for DLNR projects are available at DLNR’s Land Division. While many such Departmental projects require Land Division action (such as a CDUA, or some kind of a Land Disposition), not all do.
