Letter to John Harder <br /> Page 2 <br /> March 12, 1996 <br /> The County also prepared an Interim Groundwater Monitoring Plan, and <br /> is in the process of producing a final plan for approval. Results <br /> of the initial groundwater samples, as detailed in the installation <br /> report submitted in November 1995, show that none of the 47 volatile <br /> organic compounds and 15 metals for which the samples were analyzed, <br /> are above EPA maximum contaminant levels for drinking water. The <br /> County will continue monitoring and analyzing the groundwater <br /> samples as required by the State Department of Health. <br /> The County has also contacted major airlines which utilize the Hilo <br /> Airport and has received confirmation that there have been no <br /> problems with birds interfering with the active runways. <br /> <br /> Based on the above, the County feels that an extension to the deadline <br /> for closure of the South Hilo Landfill should be granted. We would <br /> appreciate an expeditious review and response so that we may plan our <br /> resources for the coming year. We will continue to work with the <br /> <br /> Department of Health in coordinating our efforts to close the Hilo <br /> Landfill and to provide alternatives for diversion activities as well as <br /> disposal. Thank you for your assistance. Please contact me should you <br /> have any q estions. <br /> DONNA KIYOSAKI, .E <br /> Chief Engineer <br /> cc: SWD <br /> <br />
