Hawaii County Hazard Mitigation Plan

[leilanidude]

The replacement roads across the new lava should have been immediately planned and done, not waiting for years along with proclaiming that extensive EIS needed to be done. There was nothing living or growing on that new lava, nor could there be any ancient archeological sites that would be disturbed, especially as the lava flow is 40-100 feet thick. Besides, rebuilding on the top of an already approved roadway, just at a higher elevation should have been a no-brainer.

They built the temp road (which years later is still a temp road) quite quickly, with no EIS.
