Subject: AWESC Comm. 516-16 RE: Rapid Ohia Death
Sic RE6.
Dearest County Council, Gov. Ige and News Editors:
I have seen the little brochure and the big poster regarding 5 ways you can prevent the spread of ROD. It's kind
of strange that there,is a moratorium on shipping ohia interisland and some ideas on how to clean your shoes
and chainsaws, but that is not really addressing the issue.
The biggest perpetrator of ROD are the bulldozers, and it's not even on the State/County's list. How about a
surcharge of how-ever-much is costs to steam clean the dozer each time you move it, billable to whoever's lot
you doze? Although I'm not really sure there is a way to really clean between all those treads, it could perhaps
help with ROD, and it for sure would help with the transmission of all those unwanted weeds, fire ants and
coquis!
Hope some good ideas come out of this action.
Sincerely,
Sara Steiner
