<br />~ <br /> <br />- ~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> <br />STATE OF HAWAII <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. <br /> <br />20-7 98 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXTENSION OF THE PUBLIC SEWER AT ROYAL <br />POINCIANA ROAD, LOCATED AT HOLUALOA, DISTRICT OF NORTH KONA, <br />COUNTY AND STATE OF HAWAII. <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the community as a whole. <br /> <br />By elimination of existing cesspools, the amount of pollutants reaching the groundwater and the <br /> <br />coastal waters is reduced, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the Department of Public <br /> <br />Works by increasing the revenue base and allowing more cost-efficient operation of our existing <br /> <br />facilities by reducing the unit cost of treatment; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant (KWTP) was designed with a <br /> <br />capacity of2.8 mgd. It is currently operating at approximately 1.0 mgd, or 36% of its design <br /> <br />capacity. While this percentage will increase with the completion of the Alii Drive Sewer <br /> <br />System currently under construction, there will still be considerable excess capacity; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Royal Poinciana Road area was included as part of the design area for <br /> <br />the Environmental Impact Statement prepared for the Kailua-Kona (Southern Zone) Facility Plan <br /> <br />in 1982 by M&E Pacific, Inc.; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, as a grant condition for the KWTP, the Environmental Protection Agency <br /> <br />("EPA") required as a minimum that 75% of the design capacity must be utilized. Failure to <br /> <br />comply with this condition could result in action by the EP A to recover a portion of the grant <br /> <br />funds awarded; and <br />
