RE: S.C.R. No. 187
S.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 187, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES TO RESEARCH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE FLOOD PROJECT SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM TO PROMOTE FLOOD ABATEMENT IN LANDS FROM WAIAHOLE TO LAIE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to ensure the protection of Windward Oahu residents and their property from flood-related damage by requesting the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to conduct:
(1) A flood abatement study to determine the best mitigation measures to address the flooding problem in the area from Heeia to Laie; and
(2) A community-based information campaign in Heeia and Laie to identify flood concerns, damages, and opportunities for its study.
A Heeia resident testified in support of this concurrent resolution. DLNR opposed this measure due to resource implications.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 187, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs,
