by Dan Hempey on 24 May 2008 Hi All. Dan reporting from Kokee with a big flu. I just read in the Garden Island News The state Legislature last session deferred a bill proposing a three-year pilot program to determine the level and environmental impact of air pollution caused by bunker-fuel burning in cruise vessels docked or moored at Nawiliwili Harbor. “Frankly, I’m concerned that Norwegian Cruise Lines wasn’t more cooperative,” Hooser said. “Why do we get dirtier standards than California?” Anyway, I raised this before in another context. Why doesn't Kauai County limit these bunker fuel emissions, by Ordinance? They can, if they want. See below.

Picket Cruise Ship Bunker Fuel Pollution

WHAT: WHEN: WHERE: Aloha, 1. We will be handing out informative Flyers The road is just 20 yards from the NCL boat. So the concept is to pollute NCL with sound just as NCL pollutes the Niumalu Valley with SO2 and Particulate Matter from their smoke stack. It could get a little noisy, so, we'll have an ample supply of ear plugs. |
