LIHUE, Hawaii — A judge has ruled that Hawaii Dairy Farms must forego all permits and approvals for construction of a proposed 560-acre dairy in Kauai's Mahaulepu Valley pending an environmental assessment.
The Garden Island reports (http://bit.ly/2mrGj8p) that the judge ruled in favor of Kawailoa Development LLP on Tuesday. The company, which owns a resort and golf course near the proposed dairy, filed a lawsuit against Hawaii Dairy Farms claiming its business and recreational interests would be adversely affected by the dairy's wastewater treatment unit.
Kawailoa says the harm could be avoided with an environmental assessment to review the effects of discharge, odors and other pollution.
