Kapolei grading, grubbing, stockpiling, and drainage work is regulated by ROH Chapter 18A, which requires permits, bonds, and inspections for qualifying land-disturbing activity.
Chapter 18A is the main chapter for grading permits and construction drainage. Article 2 covers permits, bonds, and inspection, and Sec. 18A-2.2 governs the grading permit application. Sec. 18A-2.4A penalizes grading without a permit. Article 3 covers grading, grubbing, and stockpiling. Drainage and erosion control plans are required for qualifying thresholds. Because Kapolei sits on the leeward plain with planned subdivision drainage, the city focuses on routing runoff to existing stormwater systems, preventing pooling near foundations, and preserving the engineered grades of master-planned neighborhoods.
Grading without a permit, skipping inspections, or departing from the approved drainage plan can result in stop work orders, fines, and site restoration.
