I'm in favor of bill 82. ( establishes speeed limits unpaved roads)
HPPOA website is still posting the information from the fugitive dust committee. A good place to garner info. on the topic. What is missing is most current info. Wish I could scan the latest notice of violation we received from the State of Hawaii for you all to see......but you can get your own copy from the office if you care to be informed.
We have options, We don't have to enforce our speed limit for dust mitigation.
Our association members can be assessed to pave our roads. D. Pomo, HPPOA hired environmental engineer estimates another 23 million in funds necessary to do so. You can do the math to figure out your own portion.
Maybe this is an option most would prefer. But until the roads are paved , we must control the dust in some way.
We could ignore the sentence in our notice of violation that states "Unannounced follow-up investigations may be conducted in the future and civil and administrative fines may be imposed in an amount of not more that $25,000.00 per day." just continue to do what we are doing now, hope that we don't get fined......sued......continue to pay $500.00 a day for the water truck....watch plastic fences (dust barriers) be erected along our roadsides.
We could wait until a complaint reaches the threshold of violation and then move that street to the top of the paving list to avoid being fined.
Or we can, as the CAB instructed us to do "submit to the DOH a written list of reasonable precautions that HPPOA will be implementing to control the generation of fugitive dust along the unpaved roadways throughout Hawaiian Paradise Park Subdivision. Also include a timetable for when HPPOA plans to begin their implementation". (slowing down the cars creating the dust seems like a good reasonable precaution to me.)
