Pflueger gets permits to restore Kauai's streams

Businessman and landowner James Pflueger is applying for permits to restore several Kauai streams.
The state claimed the streams were damaged by illegally discharged storm water, which it said was caused by work done on Pflueger's property.
The state fined Pflueger, and as part of that fine he was ordered to spend five million dollars to repair the streams and prevent further discharge.
The state historic preservation division is concerned the restoration plan could damage several historic sites and is asking that an archaeologist conduct a field visit before any work is done.
The restoration plan has received the support of the state land department.
