Currently we are seeing countless truckloads of decades long accumulation of sediment being hauled from the Kūlanihāko‘i Stream gulch onto Kenolio via the North-South Collector Road (NSCR) corridor. Contractor PB Sullivan is continuing this long needed project moving mauka from South Kihei Road.

Someday this scene will be replaced by all modes of transit coming down from bridge over the Kulanihako’i stream filling a key missing segment of the NSCR
It is expected this effort will help mitigate stormwater flooding at Kaonoulu & South Kihei Road which we have seen for decades, but this action must continue upcountry to really address the issue. But for now Sullivan ironically has to add water.

That’s odd. The dust fence was not up around the Villas at Kenolio until I and other residents complained (which is why you don’t see the green fence in the pics). Foreman said he didn’t have time to put it up. Also very odd that there has never been flooding this bad until pd got to it.
Mahalo Sorry; what is pd? Also none of these pix are by the Villas. They are all mauka of that by the Kenolio Aprmnts
