Contractor fined 2,200 yards of rock for Hapa Trail

Advertiser Staff

A Kaua'i judge has ordered a contractor to provide 2,200 cubic yards of rock for a breach in historic Hapa Trail in Po'ipu, the Garden Island newspaper reported.

District Court Judge Trudy Senda ordered the unique fine Tuesday to be fulfilled by Goodfellow Brothers, a contractor working on The Village at Po'ipu residential project adjacent to the historic trail, as part of a plea agreement, said Sherman Shiraishi, attorney for the contractor.

A Goodfellow equipment operator conducting grubbing and grading work broke through the wall, and it was repaired the same day, Shiraishi said.
