Stirring up a dust storm while working in the Waipuilani Stream gulch early Wednesday afternoon
Early this afternoon, we came across the Maui County crew activity makai of the highway, but were unclear what specific action they were performing there
This County truck was located in the dry stream bed while quads were driving East & West around it
With the trades blowing, this stirred up dirt and silt so we chose not to stop there to determine what they were doing, but we expect the residents in area were experiencing unpleasant conditions.
Even with bright reflective gear , it was difficult t0 see this individual riding around on what might have been a quad, but something more seemed to be involved to create such a duster. Might this be a riding lawnmower?
Further South along the North-South Collector Road corridor we see more activity
If you know what they were doing, please let us know. If we learn more, we will post an update.

My guess is they were doing routine maintenance of the floodway, regardless of wind conditions making it pretty dusty for everyone, I bet it was on a schedule somewhere so they went out and did the job. I can imagine the morning meeting, it pops up on the list of things to do and without checking current conditions the boss says something like “lets get it done!”
