$.5 million Kahului Barge Fix

Surfrider Foundation issued an excellent comment on the EA for permanently mooring the Superferry Barge (AKA Lingle's Folly) at the end of Pier 2 in Kahului Harbor. You may recall that we are spending about a third of a million dollars per year for a tug to keep the barge against the dock.

In their comments, they point out that breaking out this from the larger issue of a Superferry EIS amounts to segmentation - an illegal technique of breaking a large project into two or more smaller projects in order to bring them in under the radar.
