Maui dam inspections released

Advertiser Staff

Inspections of 53 dams on Maui have found that none presents an immediate threat to downstream areas, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said today in a news release.

The emergency visual dam inspections were a cooperative effort between the DLNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assure safety following a March dam failure on Kaua'i that resulted in seven deaths.

The reports can be found on the DLNR Web site www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/.
