Ulehawa Canal Update

On April 29, 2015, a meeting was scheduled to form a working group to assess and evaluate the Ulehawa Canal situation. The group included State Representative Andria Tupulo (R-43), members from Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s office (D-HI 2), State Senator Maile Shimbukuro’s (D-21) office, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, State Department of Environmental Health Administration, and City & County Department of Facility Maintenance.

The meeting helped clarify the permit process and identify the permit applications current status. As a result of the complex situation, the group’s members agreed to formulate an action plan to determine what can be done to at least help alleviate the odor problem until the 401 WQC permit process is complete.
