Dear Ms. Kiyosaki:
In reference to your request for an information briefing on the Alenaio Stream Flood Control
Project, we will be more than happy to update members of your Hawaii County Council on the
functional aspects of our recently completed flood control project. We understand and share
your concern regarding the recent flooding occurring on Kamehameha Avenue and Pauahi Street
during the July 30, 1997 storm. However, to avoid any potential misconceptions on the purpose
and actual operations of this project during future floods, our lead hydraulic engineer for this
project will present and discuss the project's background, current design, and actual performance
during the July 30, 1997 flood.
Due to a previous commitment and the lead time required to obtain all necessary pertinent
information a.id visual aids, we are requesting that the information briefing be delayed until last
week in October or early November 1997. Mr. Jim Pennaz of my Civil Works Technical
Analysis Section, Planning and Operations Division, will be the lead hydraulic engineer
conducting this briefing.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter. We hope to hear from you soon and wiil
continue to provide technical assistance on matters pertaining to the Alenaio Stream Flood
Control Project. If you have any further questions regazding this matter, please contact Mr. Tim
Young of my Planning and Operations Division staff at (808) 438-7013.
