Kalihi Neighborhood – Boulders Removed from Hillside

The Department of Land and Natural Resources has announced that the boulders located on the hillside above Kula Kolea Place in Kalihi have been safely removed.  Residents from all 11 homes located below the below the boulders were allowed to return.
On April 12, 2012, several large boulder came crashing down from the hillsides and damaged three homes on Kula Kolea Place.  Two of the homes suffered from “significant damage” but fortunately no one was hurt.  It was determined that the boulders were located on private land, but the landowners told the state that they did not have money or insurance to pay for the removal of any additional boulders.  The state’s Department of Land and Natural Resources agreed to step in and hire a contractor to remove the boulders.
