HI SCR76

Office of Planning and Sustainable Development is urged to consult with the Kahana Bay Steering Committee, County of Maui, Department of Land and Natural Resources, and United States Army Corps of Engineers regarding the stalled Kahana Bay Erosion Mitigation Project.

Parties are urged to evaluate whether the United States Army Corps of Engineers would undertake assessment of the project under Section 103 of the River and Harbor Act of 1962.

Parties are urged to determine path forward, timeline, and roles of all stakeholders if the Army Corps of Engineers assumes control of the erosion mitigation project.

Parties are urged to examine financing options for the project estimated to cost $26 million to $40 million, both with and without Army Corps of Engineers participation.

Office of Planning and Sustainable Development must submit a progress report to the Legislature by December 31, 2025, on moving the Kahana Bay Erosion Mitigation Project forward.
