OPPOSE SB2884

Water protectors have fought for years to have the State apply appropriate water permit review protocols to protect public trust water across the pae ʻāina, including the Keauhou aquifer in North Kona.

These protections include review of environmental impacts and impacts on Native Hawaiian traditional and customary practices. Just last year, the Water Commission agreed to defer a decision to permit the Ota well to address these concerns. Pending bill SB2884 would enable automatic water permit approvals, effectively removing these important protections.

‼️Please take a moment to submit written (due tomorrow at 1pm) and sign up to testify orally (via Zoom) if you can.
