DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: UPDATE TO SCHEDULE FOR LOCAL LATE-NIGHT CONVOY FOR KUHIO HIGHWAY BETWEEN WAIKOKO AND WAINIHA

LIHUE – The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) is modifying the late-night convoy schedule for local access via Kuhio Highway (Route 560) to Wainiha and Haena. On May 29, 2018, HDOT announced the addition of a late-night convoy beginning Wednesday, May 30, 2018. After receiving community feedback, the departure times for the convoys have been adjusted to the following:

Monday through Saturday
•6 a.m. First trip from Waikoko to Wainiha.
•6:30 a.m. First trip from Wainiha to Waikoko, to include shuttle.
•8:30 a.m. Waikoko to Wainiha.
•9 a.m. Wainiha to Waikoko.
•12 p.m. Waikoko to Wainiha.
•12:20 p.m. Wainiha to Waikoko, to include shuttle.
•12:40 p.m. Waikoko to Wainiha, to include shuttle.
•1 p.m. Wainiha to Waikoko.
•From 5 to 6:30 p.m. local residents will be escorted through the closure on an alternating basis, and the checkpoints will be locked at 7 p.m.
•Beginning Wednesday, May 30, a 10:30 p.m. Wainiha to Waikoko trip will be added. An 11 p.m. Waikoko to Wainiha trip will be the last trip of the day.

Sunday
•Limited local access is available on an alternating basis between the hours of 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
•The first trip begins at 7 a.m. from Waikoko to Wainiha. A pilot vehicle will escort placarded vehicles under 10,000 pounds from the checkpoint to the other side of the closure in Wainiha. The pilot vehicle will then escort vehicles from Wainiha to Waikoko and continue on an alternating basis until approximately 6:30 p.m. when the vehicle will lead the last caravan of the day from Wainiha to the Waikoko checkpoint.

As a reminder, the single lane route is available to Wainiha and Haena residents only as well as precleared recovery workers and volunteers. Those without county-issued placards or preclearance from the Kauai Emergency Management Agency will not be allowed through the checkpoints for their safety, the safety of the construction crews, and to avoid additional damage to the roadway. Speed and weight restrictions remain in effect along the 2-mile route; with a speed limit of 5 mph in some areas and 15 mph elsewhere along the single lane and a 10,000-pound (5 ton) weight restriction—excepting emergency response vehicles authorized by HDOT.

Following the completion of safety work, such as guardrail installation and rock scaling, HDOT anticipates allowing limited access without escorts to Kuhio Highway between Waikoko and Wainiha. Weight and speed restrictions will remain in place and a one-lane yield restriction will be placed on the two sites where the lower slope was washed out. The road up to Kee Beach may also be restricted to high clearance vehicles.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE APPROVES EMERGENCY DISASTER LOAN PROGRAM FOR FLOODS AND KILAUEA ERUPTION

HONOLULU – The Hawaii Board of Agriculture (Board) approved parameters for emergency low-interest agricultural loans for farmers suffering damage due to the heavy rain and flooding on Kauai and Oahu in April and the current eruption phase at Kilauea volcano on Hawaii Island.

The Board approved the emergency loan program which offers disaster-related loans of up to $500,000 at an interest rate of three percent, with loan terms to be determined on a case-by-case basis. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) Agricultural Loan Division will process loan applications based on past farm production, projected cash flow and disaster recovery plans. Three-year residency and other requirements usually necessary for agricultural loans will also be waived. Loan applications will be accepted until June 2019. HDOA also offers microloans of up to $25,000 that involves less paperwork and offers swifter processing. Loan officers will also work with those with existing agricultural loans on loan payment deferrals. The Agricultural Loan Division may be contacted at 808-973-9460.

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture issued a disaster declaration for the County of Kauai which allows for assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), including low-interest disaster loans. The FSA office on Kauai may be contacted at: (808) 245-9014 Ext. 2.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) also has a disaster loan program for nonfarm businesses which are dependent on farmers and ranchers that have suffered agricultural production losses on Kauai.
