16 inch Force Main Crack, Pearl Harbor, Oahu

We were just notified of a 16 inch force main crack near Naval Station 004 lift station off Mike 1 Pier in Pearl Harbor. About 3000 gallons of raw sewage flowed into a storm drain that empties into Pearl Harbor. Spill is ongoing. Navy has been instructed to post warning signs, sample, and do a press release.

Kailua's Sparkling Beaches


Yesterday KailuaBay.org sponsored the Kalama Beach Park station for the Kailua Beach Clean-Up. The morning event was a real success. Lots of folks helped collect marine debris and trash all the way from Castles to Kalapawai.

The biggest haul of the day went to Brendon Schoch who pulled a 100 lb. pile of fishing nets from the beach near flagpole. Thank, Brendon!


And, of course, the clean-up would not have happened at all if it were not not for all the hard work involved in planning and organizing the event. Kudo's to John Stalling for organizing yesterday's beach clean-up in Kailua.
