PLEASE DISTRIBUTE FAR AND WIDE!
The Honolulu Advertiser’s wrote in today’s editorial,
“Court should clarify worth of years-old EIS". If the high court decides to take the appeal, as it should, the state will get clearer direction of how environmental law should apply to development that has languished on the drawing boards for years.
And although the Kuilima Resort Co. project is at the center of this case, there are other projects with environmental impact statements prepared long ago. The original proposal for Makena Resort on Maui, for example, was based on an EIS completed in 1974.
It is not right that the developers should be allowed to begin development 20 or 200 years after an EIS is accepted without having to reconsider potential impacts.
Keep the North Shore Country and Sierra Club have been seeking a Supplemental EIS for the Turtle Bay Resort in the courts since 2006. If the Supreme Court does not accept the case, our challenge of the environmental review will probably be over.
Meanwhile, Stanford Carr continues to press ahead with the expansion plan and continues to seek final subdivision approval from the City and County of Honolulu. They are very close.
We are near the end of the process. Now is the time to speak up!

Coxos ericeira portugal: Portugal is a great place to visit. It is still relatively inexpensive and the country is beautiful. I went there in September 2007 and had a great experience. Definitely a must do trip if you haven't surfed in Europe. The surf spots are spread out so a guided tour is the way to go. Check out Surfing In Portugal Guided Surf Trips on Surftrip.com
