                                 RE: H.B. No. 1233
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.B. No. 1233 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WAILUPE STREAM,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to the
Department of Land and Natural Resources for creation of plans,
specifications and estimates for the Wailupe stream flood control
project.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this bill
from three individuals and comments on the bill from the Board of
Land and Natural Resources.  

     Your Committee finds that the area drained by Wailupe Stream
is particularly flood-prone, especially after the development of
Hawaii Loa Ridge, which drains into the Aina Haina Valley and
adds to the burden on Wailupe Stream.  

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B.
No. 1233 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Water and Land
                                   Use,
