HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

REQUESTING THE U.S. NAVY TO CLEAR THE COASTLINE OF LOWER WAIPAHU that is UNDER its JURISDICTION FROM INVASIVE PLANT-LIFE AND EXCESSIVE FOLIAGE FOR SAFETY AND AESTHETIC PURPOSES.

 

 

 


     WHEREAS, the shoreline of lower Waipahu has, in recent years, become subject to significant overgrowth by various invasive plant species and excessive foliage, therefore creating not only a shabby appearance, but also a safety hazard and an area where illicit activities may potentially transpire; and

 

     WHEREAS, the shoreline along West Loch and Middle Loch within the U.S. Navy's jurisdiction is strewn with abandoned vehicles, tires, white goods, and other discarded debris; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-fourth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2008, the Senate concurring, that the U.S. Navy is requested to clear the section of lower Waipahu adjacent to West Loch Estates that is under its jurisdiction from invasive plant-life and excessive foliage for safety and aesthetic purposes; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that duly certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the President, National Security Advisor, Secretary of Defense, and Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States, the Chair and all members of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, all members of the White House National Security Council, the Secretaries of the United States Air Force, Army, and Navy, the Commander of the United States Pacific Command (CDRUSPACOM), the Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet (USPACFLT), the Waipahu Community Association, the Chair of the Waipahu Neighborhood Board, and the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu.
