Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Dept of Environmental Management DATE: 4/11/2016 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Dora Beck PHONE: 961-8513 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for a State Water <br /> Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan for Wastewater improvement projects and authorizing the issuance of <br /> $54,000,000 General Obligation Bonds of the County of Hawai'i for the purpose of financing the following <br /> project: <br /> Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant R-1 Upgrade $54,000,000 <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant R-1 Upgrade project includes upgrading the Kealakehe <br /> Wastewater Treatment Plant (KWWTP) to recycled water producing capabilities and constructing a <br /> transmission main for the distribution of recycled water. The project will reduce the water supply <br /> demand by providing recycled water for irrigation and other non-potable uses. Areas to be served with <br /> recycled water include the Old Kona Airport Park, the buffer lands surrounding the KWWTP, and the <br /> Queen Liliuokalani Trust (QLT) Children's Home. The total peak demand for recycled water from these <br /> areas is estimated at 900,000 gallons per day. <br /> The upgrade project will also result in discontinuing the use of the existing infiltration basin. To protect <br /> the subsurface environment, the infiltration basin will be replaced by engineered methods designed to <br /> remove nutrients and metals prior to introduction into the ground when continued storage of recycled <br /> water is over the capacity. <br /> SIGNED: %�/�/G� DATE: <br /> Department Head <br />
