I mis-spelled March and <br /> have here corrected it. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 24 March 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> Aloha Mayor Kim, Nelson and Council Members, <br /> <br /> Please note that the following statement is meant to supercede and clarify our policy statement dated <br /> June 7, 2006 regarding County of Hawai'i efforts to resolve the solid waste challenge. We request that <br /> this statement be included in the public records. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The Sierra Club, Moku Loa Group has adopted the following as our policy statement: "The Sierra <br /> Club, Moku Loa Group supports the efforts of the Kim administration to resolve the solid waste <br /> management challenge before us. Specifically, MLG favors an integrated approach which includes <br /> the creation of a sort station, taking measures to extend the life of the current landfill in Hilo, and <br /> reducing the volume of material which eventually becomes solid waste through increased <br /> recycling. <br /> Further as concerns waste-to-energy technology, MLG opposes all forms of incineration, since <br /> such technology is environmentally unfriendly in general. A number of promising processes <br /> which are now considered experimental will be viable in the near future. Ron Terry informs us <br /> that incineration is currently the only technology on the table by default, since Wheelabrator's was <br /> the only submission when bids were requested. This being the case, MLG favors implementation <br /> of the other aspects of the integrated solid waste management plan and extending the bidding <br /> time to allow other technologies to emerge as viable." <br /> Please keep in mind that the current landfill will remain usable until at least 2010, and it's life can <br /> be extended by seriously increasing recycling efforts. <br /> Mahalo for your kind attention and your efforts in assisting Hawai'i County to develop and <br /> implement a truly integrated and sustainable solid waste management program. <br /> Mahalo, Comm. NQ. /061•/360 <br /> <br /> Ref, To.. <br /> era <br /> Ref. Date RR 2 <br /> 3/24/2008 <br />
