goes. Disposal in the landfills is voluntary and the only way not to break the law. For a big <br />commercial facility, there is no way their supply could be guaranteed. There are a lot of moving <br />parts. <br /> <br />Director Kucharski said they have been discussing a construction and demolition (C&D) <br />landfill which would not take any organic putrescible. Wood is an organic material, and food is <br />putrescible because it will decompose fairly rapidly. A C&D landfill will take material that <br />won’t pose a human health impact from decomposition, such as wood waste, gravel, cement, and <br />broken up tile. It would require the same construction as a regular landfill, but the County is not <br />in a position to make that investment as it would require being able to guarantee the waste to pay <br />for the investment. <br /> <br /> Chair Bennett: He said he wanted an update on the options for the unsewered areas in the <br />Keauhou regional study. Director Kucharski said he will look into it and try to come up with the <br />information. Chair Bennett said he would like to know which parts and sewered and which are <br />not, and Director Kucharski said he could only provide information on where the County sewers <br />are, not what is on private property. Chair Bennett said he would get back to him, because the <br />Department of Health had provided him some information. <br /> <br />8. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS <br /> <br /> Chair Bennett asked if the commissioners wanted to place anything on the next agenda. If <br />not right now, they can email him. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Osborne said she would like an update on the recycle initiatives and the <br />educational components of contracts issued by the Department. She handed Chair Bennett a <br />document, and he said he would formalize it for the secretary to place on the agenda. <br /> <br />9. ANNOUNCEMENTS <br /> <br /> Chair Bennett announced the next meeting: April 25, 2018, at the Aupuni Center <br />Conference Room in Hilo. <br /> <br />10.
