A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The natural ground surface shall be prepared by removing the vegetation and, if required
by the director, shall be notched by a series of terraces prior to the placement of
any fill. No fill shall be placed over any water, including wetlands and streams,
refuse dump, nor upon a soft, soggy or springy foundation; provided, that this requirement
may be waived by the director if the permittee submits an engineer's report substantiating
the permanence and safety of the fill.
