can only be estimated. It will be reasonable to expect that any available waste reduction technology, with all present economic and compliance factors staying the same, deemed by the County to be superior than others will be more expensive than hauling waste from East Hawai'i to West Hawaii. It will also be reasonable to expect it will be likely less expensive than developing and operating a new landfill in Hilo. 7. To dispose of abandoned vehicles left on County roads within one week. 8. To eliminate the backlog of the Vehicle Disposal Program by January 2005 in Kona and by January 2007 in Hilo. 1. These seem to be objectives Goals and objectives are synonymous. These goals can be viewed as objectives because they provide a measuring stick for determining the success of the Program and an indicator for remediating Program deficiencies. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES 2. Maintain Sewer fees at a level to cover expenses of operations, repairs and maintenance and replacements. 1. What percent of expenses does this cover? What other expenses would still remain? This covers all expenses except the debt service on capital improvement projects. CIP debt is estimated to be about 30% of the expenses of a wastewater system. 3.

The State funds the Used Residential Motor Oil, a program likely to continue. The State's Beverage Container Deposit law will be implemented in 2005. It sets an advanced collection system to cover the redeemable deposit and handling fees. DOH indicates that funds will be made available to assist the County in establishing redemption centers and the State may assign and fund a position in each County to provide administrative assistance for the beverage container deposit law. DEM recommends that, with the implementation of an Organics Diversion program and production of certified compost, commercial haulers be charged a greenwaste tip fee. That tip fee could be set as a small percentage (15%-2501o) of the landfill tip fee to encourage diversion and offset risingprogram costs resultingfrom increasing quantities ofgreenwaste. Legislation has been proposed at the State this year to initiate an Advanced Disposal Fee for vehicles. Although the ADFfor vehicles may not pass this year, there is increasing support at the legislature to enact advanced disposal fees for vehicles, bulky goods, white goods and other consumer goods that can be recycled or diverted from landfill.
