are accurately depicting existing conditions and want to get a somewhat complete draft to the SWAC before they start reviewing those existing conditions. They have already prepared rough drafts on several chapters. Looking at the timeline, the SWAC members will have two weeks to look through and provide comments to the County on Chapters 3 through 7. The County will review and digest the SWAC’s input. They will meet on September 12 to deliberate again and talk about options and recommendations. Parametrix will be paralleling them, working on an interim draft that will ultimately go to the SWAC for review. As the interim draft is being worked on, the SWAC will be making decisions on Chapters 8 through 10. Parametrix is slated to provide the interim draft on November 9, 2018. The SWAC will meet on November 14, 2018, where they can talk about their impressions and bring up any red flags. They County and SWAC will review and combine their comments together on the interim draft and submit it to Parametrix on November 23, 2018, and Parametrix will start working on the next draft, which will go to the State Department of Health (“DOH”) by December 14, 2018. The DOH will have 90 days by law to review the preliminary draft. The SWAC does not have a meeting scheduled during the time the DOH will be reviewing the preliminary draft. A meeting will be scheduled as they get closer to the process. Chair Hayducsko explained that the drafts Parametrix prepared so far are only on existing conditions, which need to be updated to show what is presently going on—how many transfer stations exist now, how many recycling sites, etc. The SWAC members were instructed to do their homework and submit their recommendations and options to Mary Fujio by August 22, 2018. Discussion was held on whether there is a way to prioritize recommendations, as some are definitely more important than others. Chair Hayducsko said they needed to figure out a mechanism on how prioritize as a group. Ms. Seckel suggested that to help prioritize, they could reflect on the goals that were established in the plan. All of the goals are on two pages, and perhaps they could prioritize based on the seven bullets there. Ms. Adams asked why “resources” was not in the title of the plan now, and Chair Hayducsko said they are following what the state is calling the plan. The contents will be the same. 5. NEW BUSINESS a. Summary by George Hayducsko of the June 13, 2018, and July 11, 2018, Limited Meetings and Site Visits and discussion regarding facility conditions. Chair Hayducsko briefly summarized the SWAC’s site visits. At the June visit they spent some time at the landfill itself, receiving an overview of the process. They also stopped by the sort station, where haulers and businesses dump their rubbish. While remaining in the van, they drove by the organics facility, the HI-5 Redemption Center, and the 2-bin recycling area. Then they visited the Pāhoa Recycling and Transfer Station and viewed the system there, and then made a quick stop at the Keaʻau Recycling and Transfer Station. 4
