Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation

Wailoa Small Boat Harbor dredging was completed on November 27.  The contractor will be removing its barge from Wailoa Small Boat Harbor on Saturday, December 7.  The barge has occupied the harbor to facilitate dredging operations since the project started in July, and its removal is the final step to close out the project.

The final project cost increased from the initial budgeted amount of $3.1 million to $4.8 million, and DOBOR was able to cover the cost overrun with its Boating Special Fund, which derives its revenue from statewide harbor and boating facility use fees.

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout the dredging process.
