Can anyone enlighten me (and sorry if I should already know this) but why is HPP in particular being targeted for dust?? All kinds of roads, all over the place in puna are dirty and dusty.
Here's a condensed version of one violation (as was explained to me....and what I read from the minutes and copy of their petition submitted)
2010
People on a particular road where complaining to our management and the board. Early morning commuters were attempting to save some time by cutting thru HPP on their way into town. Cars were speeding.....causing immense dust......and an unsafe condition. Their Calls to our office did not help....they began to threaten....they submitted a petition containing solutions. When nothing got done, They finally made good on their threat and complained to the Board of Health.
Several other complaints from different ares were called in to the Department of Health.
The CAB is MANDATED by law to protect human health. Fugitive Dust is a known health hazard.They HAD to investigate by law.
So now HPP as opposed to other areas with fugitive dust is
Kind of like you, being in a string of cars ......all traveling over the speed limit. The police pulls over only you.......You're the one with the ticket.......not the other speeders. You now have the joy of answering to your offense......while the other drivers ,just drove home.
