EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />• Establish a County recycling program with a long list of elements that have the potential <br />to increase waste diversion significantly <br />After adopting the 2002 ISWMP update, the County took steps toward implementing these <br />recommendations, as follows: <br />• Expanding the number and scope of its recycling programs, which increased its <br />recycling rate from 15 percent in FY 01 -02 to 29 percent in FY 07 -08 <br />• Initiating development of elements of the East Hawai'i Regional Sort Station (now <br />nearing completion) that could potentially serve a number of strategic waste <br />management functions <br />• Issuing two (2) requests for proposals (RFPs) for construction of a waste reduction <br />facility. The first RFP was cancelled by the County. The second procurement process <br />resulted in a proposal for a 230 - ton - per -day mass -burn waste -to- energy facility to be <br />located at the SHSL. In 2008, the County Council rejected the recommended proposal, in <br />part because the construction and operation costs were higher than anticipated. <br />Since 2006, the County has taken three (3) other important actions related to its solid waste <br />management system: <br />1. It completed a <br />comprehensive engineering <br />evaluation of its twenty -one <br />(21) recycling and transfer <br />stations; this evaluation <br />concluded that thirteen (13) <br />have serious failures <br />requiring reconstruction to <br />correct, and another six (6) <br />have serious problems that <br />could be corrected without <br />complete reconstruction. <br />2. It extended the capacity of <br />the SHSL through innovative <br />engineering solutions, such <br />as creating a sliver fill and <br />utilizing additional airspace <br />resulting from creation of the <br />sliver fill. <br />3. It prepared an expansion <br />feasibility study and capital <br />cost estimate to assess <br />whether undertaking a <br />seven (7) acre landfill <br />expansion immediately <br />adjacent to the SHSL would <br />December 2009 <br />Ka'auhuhu (Hawi) RTS <br />4,145 (51%) <br />Honoka'a RTS <br />3,469 (4.2 %) <br />Puako RTS Pa'auil4 R1 <br />2,681 (3.3 %) <br />Waimea RTS 1,922(2 <br />6,376 (7.8 %) <br />Honomu RTS <br />West Hawall <br />Sahlfary Landfill <br />(2.1 %) <br />Kailua R <br />7,860(9.7- <br />"R <br />Keauhou RTS <br />5,017(6.2%) <br />Ke'ei RTS <br />2,025 (2.5 %) <br />Waiea RTS <br />2,969 (3.6%) <br />Milol� P RTS <br />207 (0.3 %) <br />Ocean View <br />(Proposed) <br />Pahala RTS <br />1,304 (1.6 %) <br />Walohlnu RTS <br />3,447 (4.2 %) <br />Note: Numbers under transfer station = tons of trash <br />IN hauled in FY 07 -08 and percent of total for County. <br />Laupahoehoe RTS <br />b1,547 (1.9 %) <br />Honomu RTS <br />1,727 <br />(2.1 %) <br />South Hilo <br />Papaikou RTS <br />SanPtary:LandRR: <br />2,902 (3.6 %) <br />39 575 (48.7- ) <br />Hilo RTS <br />14,707 (18.1 %) <br />Kea'au RTS <br />7,44`3(9.1 %) <br />Glenwood RTS <br />2,940(3.6 %). <br />�� W <br />Volcano RTS <br />1,929(24/) <br />Pahoe RTS <br />5,759(7 .1%) <br />Ka RTS <br />1,069 9 (1,3 (1.3%) <br />Disposal at Hawaii County <br />Recycling and Transfer Stations <br />FY 07.08 <br />ES -3 <br />
