BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The project is currently funded via the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan Program (Project No. <br /> C150080-27). Additional funds are required in order to replace the liners for Lagoons 1, 2, and 3 at the facility. <br /> There is evidence that the liners have experienced and continue to undergo deterioration due to natural causes <br /> resulting in the liners reaching the end of their serviceable life. The State Department of Health has confirmed <br /> that additional monies for replacement of the liners is available for the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant <br /> Aeration Upgrade and Sludge Removal project. <br /> The expected life of the liners is twenty to thirty years. <br /> We respectfully request that this bill be waived from Committee and placed on the next Council agenda in order <br /> to expedite the availability of additional SRF funding for this project. <br /> > r <br /> SIGNED: DATE: (2(.30jr�� <br /> Department Head <br /> ) <br />
