What trigger did the Superferry meet (not the ports/harbors) that makes people think it needed an EIS? (folks have been stating this for a few years, but I have yet found one that knows the triggers)

I am including a link to the OEQC HEPA & NEPA triggers procedure, just so that everyone can see why I don't get the statement...

...(& really if you think of all of the ships & boats in our state waters...& that there are similar ships to the Superferry in other states... well...)

The State of Hawaii should've conducted an EIS because 40 million dollars of taxpayer dollars were used to construct these harbor improvements for the HSF's sole use. Yes, I know the HDOT gave an exemption because they believed these barges were not considered an harbor improvement, but the use of taxpayers should've triggered an EIS.
