(2) transfer stations located north of the Hilo baseyard — Papa'ikou and Honomu — were hauled directly <br />from the transfer stations to the WHSL. <br />One round trip constitutes a single load being transferred to WHSL. Depending upon driver availability <br />and the amount of refuse to be hauled to WHSL on a given day, each driver completed up to two (2) <br />round trips daily resulting in a daily average of four (4) round trips between the total number of drivers. <br />Overall, round trips per day varied between one (1) and (9). Average road time for each driver was four <br />(4) hours per round trip. Drivers hauling refuse collection trailers to WHSL were responsible for <br />emptying, cleaning and hauling the trailer back to the Hilo baseyard, or to Papa'ikou and Honomu <br />transfer stations on the same day. <br />A total of 24 trailers with 70 and 100 cubic yard (c.y.) capacities were used in the pilot project. The 100 - <br />c.y. trailers which do not have built -in compactor units are only at the Pahoa transfer station site. All 70- <br />c.y. trailers are equipped with built -in compactors. <br />All trips were made along the Hamakua Coast (see Figure 1). This route was considered to be the safer <br />route for long- hauling until upgrades to the Saddle Road portion closest to Kona can be completed. <br />FIGURE 1: <br />Pu' <br />HAULING ROUTE FOR PILOT STUDY <br />
