Aluli v. Lewin

The appellants filed a complaint in the circuit court seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. Essentially, appellants sought cessation of construction and operations of geothermal wells along a segment of the Kilauea Middle East Rift Zone. The complaint was brought against True/Mid-Pacific Geothermal Venture (True) which was developing the wells and against the State Department of Health (DOH) which issued an air pollution permit authorizing the construction and operation of the wells.
