Kahului Harbor Modifications, Maui ($100,000)
The requested funding would be used to intiate federally funded investigations to determine whether a federal interest exists in participating in a cost-shared feasibility study for modifications to Kahului Harbor on the island of Maui.
Maui is faced with a critical situation due to the lack of sufficient harbor capacity to provide for the island’s needs. Kahului Harbor is the only commercial harbor servicing the island of Maui and, because of its location, it is currently constrained in terms of berthing capacity and terminal space. A potential expansion area is available at the west coast stockpile area; the west coast stockpile area was created during the construction of the original harbor in 1931. This new area would require dredging of a new basin to support commercial vessels and associated breakwater improvements.
