The gap between the Volcano and Pahala transfer stations is 28 miles, but is not <br /> of concern because the intervening azea is mostly undeveloped national park land. <br /> 3.2.7 Table 3.6. This table ranks the transfer stations on each of 12 criteria selected <br /> from Tables 3.1 through 3.4. The rankings aze used in Chapter V to sort transfer <br /> stations into classes, each featuring a standazd set of diversion activities and <br /> services. <br /> <br /> 3.3 Hilo Landfill <br /> Hilo landfill is projected to reach capacity within two yeazs of completion of this plan. <br /> The County must close the landfill at that time. The County's intent is to develop a <br /> regional sort station and implement aggressive recycling measures as a short-term <br /> solution, while evaluation of more complex technologies continues. <br /> <br /> 3.4 Reduction, Recycling, and Reuse <br /> The County's diversion rate was 13% in Fiscal Yeaz 1999. The update to the integrated <br /> solid waste management plan completed in 2002 outlines an aggressive program to <br /> increase diversion. The program includes the East Hawaii regional sort station and <br /> enhancements to transfer stations. County staff expect an immediate two percent increase <br /> in diversion from the sort station, and an additional five percent in each of the next two <br /> yeazs as transfer station enhancements aze utilized. An additional three percent per year is <br /> expected from improved utilization of diversion opportunities and additional services <br /> provided from private contractors. The diversion rate is expected to level out at azound <br /> 45 percent by 2014. <br /> 17 <br /> <br />
