Geothermal resources development : Circular C-100

The Geothermal Resources Development report was prepared to assist in the designation of geothermal resource subzones in the State of Hawaii as mandated by Act 296, SLH 1983, and contains a compilation of currently available information relating to geothermal development in Hawaii. This report identifies the existing exploratory well sites, and outlines the current geothermal resource mining leases issued by the State Board of Land and Natural Resources. Also included is a list of geothermal exploratory drilling permits issued by the Department of Land and Natural Resources and special use permits issued by the County of Hawaii and the State Land Use Commission. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of geothermal energy utilization, a brief outline of the HGP-A Well head Generator Project has been included. This information along with future contributions to the Department will be of valuable assistance in determining the location and quality of Hawaii's geothermal resources
