The proposed Project consist of the demolition of existing structures within the existing Kapoho housing and the construction of new housing units. The work involves the installation of erosion control structures; demolition of existing structures; site earthwork, clearing, grubbing, and grading; utilities installation; construction of foundation slabs and framing; construction of building exterior and interior finish/ housing units; fine grading; installation of curbs, asphalt roadways, and sidewalks; landscaping and fencing; stabilization of the site; and the removal of temporary construction erosion control measures/structures.

Storm water run-off associated with construction activities from the Project is proposed to be discharged at the following discharge point after implementation of Best Management Practices: Kaneohe Bay, a Class AA, Marine Water, Latitude 21°26\u201936.07\u201DN and Longitude 157°46\u201938.57\u201DW.
