URGING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND GEOTECHNICAL STUDY OF THE EWA PLAIN.

This House Resolution (HR 76) urges the University of Hawaii to conduct a geological survey and geotechnical study of the Ewa Plain in Honouliuli. It addresses concerns about land instability caused by limestone dissolution, which has led to sinkholes, cracked sidewalks (like along Kualakai Parkway), sinking road sections, and recurring holes in parks and neighborhoods. The study aims to provide data for safely planning future infrastructure and construction in the area. As a non-binding resolution, it does not require the university to act but requests the study to inform local officials, planners, and residents.
