This map viewer is based on PDC's Hawaii Hazards and Vulnerabilities Atlas, which was <br /> also used as the foundation for the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Map Viewer and <br /> other PDC-developed applications. In addition to the existing functionality contained within <br /> these viewers, the Dam Status Map Viewer includes "hot links" to "State of Hawaii DLNR <br /> Dam Safety Inspection Sheets" for each dam as well as to site graphics as available. A list of <br /> all dams on the Island of Hawaii is included below. <br /> 1. HA00026 Lalakea Reservoir <br /> 2. HA00051 Hawi No. 5 Reservoir <br /> 3. HA00027 E-13 Reservoir <br /> 4.

However, as discussed previously several dams showed signs of <br /> damage following the Oct. 2006 Kiholo Bay earthquake. <br /> On March 14, 2006, just before dawn, Ka Loko Dam on the island of Kauai breached <br /> sending nearly 400 million gallons of water (weighing 1.6 million tons) from the Ka Loko <br /> Reservoir into Kilauea Bay, taking trees, cars,buildings, and seven human lives with it. <br /> According to Godbey's independent civil investigation of the Ka Loko Dam failure, the <br /> breach of the dam can be attributed several possible conditions and practices. Among these <br /> conditions and practices are inadequate inspection of the dams by the State of Hawaii, non- <br /> permitted grading operations at the dam site by the owner, inadequate maintenance of the <br /> dam by the owner, and non-enforcement of regulations by the County of Kaua`i.57 <br /> 57 Godbey,Robert,Report of the Independent Civil Investigation of the March 14,2006 Breach of Ka Loko <br /> Dam, 1,January 2007 <br /> 11-3 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
