WAILUKU, Maui (AP) — Hawaii Commercial &Sugar Co. is not admitting fault under a proposed settlement that reduces a $1.3 million air quality and reporting fine tied to Puunene Mill to $600,000.
The $600,000 would go toward the state, the University of Hawaii’s Vog Measurement and Prediction Project and the creation of stations measuring air quality at three Maui schools.
The public will have 30 days to comment.
Any changes require approval from both the company and Health Department.
Health officials can still set a hearing if the department determines the settlement is inappropriate.
