Steam release causes concern Hawaii Tribune Herald 8/21/2014
Extracts from article , with my commentary added in Italics
The release, which included hydrogen sulfide....
Blocked roadways prevented the FD hazmat team from reaching the site to take hydrogen sulfide readings and stationary monitors were offline because of power outages.
[Abbreviated from here on]
staff took measurements with hand held meters.....
Mike Kaleikini....... said the 7 staff members were present and didn't report any health impacts (note: in Harry Kim's report he said that they said that they were in fact understaffed the night of 8/6/2014)
yada yada yada.................................
Later on in the article:
With the concentration unclear.......
Wind speeds unclear..........
Oliveira speaking: requested PGV speak with Helco about coordinating a plant shut down prior to the arrival of another storm. Civil Defense provided the plant with generators to keep monitors running during power outages. - (stock up batteries & water, etc, before another event - umm, how come CD is providing Generators worth big bucks to a company that rightly should have it's own generator's)?
Additionally the county is planning to conduct a geothermal health study to asses impacts from the plant.
