Commission on Water Resource Management Monthly Water Commission Meeting
The Commission discussed several key items, including authorization of a joint funding agreement with the US Geological Survey for statewide hydrologic data collection and water resource monitoring for the 2027 fiscal year. The Commission approved a stream channel alteration permit for bank stabilization of Manoa Stream, with a newly added condition delegating authority to the chairperson for minor alterations, provided that substantial changes still require full Commission approval. Additionally, the Commission issued a finding that emergency authorization for excavator work to remove debris and prevent property damage at Kawainui Stream did not require a stream channel alteration permit.
