It is what we have come to expect from our State and Politicians.
What a shame. Nobody is surprised anymore :grrr:

IT's more than an art form, Taxes going up this year for the privilege. It's a Major League profession.

Thought folks might be interested in this...
Seems nobody was action level hot for high lead.
Excerpted from Hawaii Kai Neighborhood board November minutes

Shooting Range: Thielen gave an update on the status of the Koko Head shooting range closure. FAQ’s about the closure of the shooting range are posted on the DPR website. None of the shooting range employees tested at or beyond the OSHA limits for lead contamination but the facility has been closed out of an abundance of caution. DPR is consulting with an expert to evaluate the shooting range. OSHA has visited the range to check on records and DOH has scheduled a visit to the site as well.

So we wait

in other words there was no reason to close the range but they did

Anything new?  They had their meetings and recommendations provided by the consultant in early Dec.  what’s the timeline?  They can’t fix everything at one time and supposedly they were going to table the larger items and incorporate them into the budget.  I heard there were relatively minor changes that could be implemented to get the range running.  What’s the delay?

It's "their" way of saying " 2a community, we still got the hammer over you".

And if "we" drag our a$$es, too bad.  Cry me a river.

Yup...This wouldn't have even caused a a hiccup in industry.
Maybe the guys would have been told to put on a respirator.
They were clearly looking for any excuse at all.
Thielen just let it out of the bag.

I am pretty sure that no cats are allowed in our prisons but I am just wondering if there are any prisons on the planet that do.

Here’s what I heard…the range will need to have the lead remediation done and I believe they’ll add the top soil.  They’ll also need to take the wall down between pistol and rifle side.  I believe they’ll need to install hand washing stations and open the pistol side wall up for air flow.  Seems like a longer project then estimated.

Not looking good for the skeet and metal silhouette ranges.  There’s much to be done there and I don’t think both of those are priority.  I hope all the LGS can hang in.

For the divider, any idea if the City (or consultant, or someone else) deemed it a safety hazard?  That thing was looking sketch for a while.   am surprised they didn't have bracing installed a while ago.  I bet that "project" will end up taking a while, since EPA will likely require the wall material be sampled/tested.  Going through similar in my "day job". 

Thank you for the update.  Hopefully we'll see progress soon. . .

It's not only it's bad condition, rather the wall is a ricochet hazard too.  Bullets striking a steel plate or something solid downrange could be reflected off the wall back to the firing line.  Dirt berms are used to catch the bullets on the sides.
