Hilopuna, mahalo to you for the added discussion on this County-Geothermal buyout issue.
Its really bad luck for puna or the big island for that matter, That you " hilopuna" weren't around these parts 5-7 years ago. Those waimea to puna fly overs you refer too now days for your perspective, were needed badly out here in lower puna several years ago.
We heard from many folks from different agencies throughout Hawaii county like helco, dlnr, geothermal, U.H.H forest dept, and our mayors office" Kevin" that repeatedly told us there was no funding available for such simple fly-overs like you are referring too. Helco knew of this dying Ohia tree situation around the geothermal power plant since 2011, when I first called them and others.
Helco does power line inspections and equipment flyovers in this geothermal- leilani estates- power line road every three months( 3-4 times a year ). Helco chose to ignore my ohia tree concerns and did not help our communities Ohia trees with any time, pictures, or ohia-care flyovers, every three months. They operated and landed into these "ROD" infected warned areas every three months further spreading this "ROD" around my home and subdivision,Jmo.
Hilopuna,please take no offense personally from my many opinions and or complaints regarding This ohia tree wilt or Ormats geothermal operations. I have been growing very upset and concerned over the years, watching the environmental disaster that has been happening around our home and neighborhood.
