#lahaina dredging

The DLNR Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation fuel system vendor for Lahaina Small Boat Harbor, is in the process of rebuilding the fire-damaged, above-ground portion of the fueling system at no cost to the state. It will probably three years before everything is finished. Until the harbor is out of the restricted zone, no one can reach it by land.

State Rep. Angus McKelvey says maintenance dredging of Lahaina Harbor has been approved and is moving forward with expected completion by the end of the year.

The scope of the project was reduced to address public comments and includes the elimination of original plans to widen the harbor basin through dredging and a reduction in the width of the new interisland ferry pier.

Updates will be provided on ocean safety issues, the status of dredging at the Lahaina Harbor, and plans to expand the swim area at Hanakao’o Beach.

State Senator Roz Baker, Representative Angus McKelvey, and the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation will host the meeting, set for 2 p.m. at the Pioneer Inn Courtyard in Lahaina.
