RE: S.C.R. No. 102
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 102, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTIONS OF SUBMERGED LANDS AT MAUNALUA, OAHU, HAWAII, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF A ROCK GROIN TO SLOW THE RATE OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITION IN THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL OF THE HAWAII KAI MARINA,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that the Hawaii Kai Marina Community Association is responsible for the maintenance of the entrance channel between the privately-owned Hawaii Kai Marina and Maunalua Bay. Your Committee further finds that the Department of Land and Natural Resources has worked with the community association on a proposed project to remove the deteriorating sandbag groin on the eastern side of the entrance channel and construct a permanent rock rubble groin in its place to reduce the rate of sediment accumulation into the channel entrance, which in turn will reduce the number and frequency of dredging activities.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Making technical amendments to its title to read, "AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A PERPETUAL, NON-EXCLUSIVE EASEMENT COVERING PORTIONS OF STATE SUBMERGED LANDS AT MAUNALUA, OAHU, HAWAII, FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF A ROCK GROIN TO SLOW THE RATE OF SEDIMENT DEPOSITION INTO THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL OF THE HAWAII KAI MARINA."; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 102, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 102, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water & Land,
