Bill Summary
RESOLUTION urging the department of health to prioritize testing and research of BeACH sand contamination levels AT POKAI BAY and requesting the city and county of honolulu department of parks and recreation to prioritize renovations of the restroom facilities at pokai bay. .
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Health to make testing and researching contamination levels, specifically fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), in the beach sand at Pokai Bay a top priority within their pollution control programs, as studies suggest sand can hold more bacteria than water and may be retaining pollutants from nearby facilities. It also requests the Department of Health to develop a plan, in collaboration with other agencies, to improve water circulation at Pokai Bay to address pollution and health risks, and to report on these efforts to the Legislature. Furthermore, based on the findings of this testing, the resolution asks the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation to prioritize the renovation of the restroom facilities at Pokai Bay, a popular recreational area on Oahu's Leeward Coast that has experienced various sources of pollution.
