This appropriation is to construct a legally permitted composting facility at the resource recovery area adjacent to the West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill at Pu'uanahulu. The facility will be designed to accept greenwaste, pallets, food scraps, used cooking oil and grease trap waste. These are all items that are valuable resources which, when fully processed, have excellent established markets. In addition to increased diversion of organic materials from our landfills, the facility will allow manufacture of three (3) products: 1) a value-added certified compost; 2) biodiesel, a transportation fuel; and 3) bunker fuel, which will be used for the generation of electricity. The recovery of these resources, rather than disposal, is another step forward in attaining our County's goal of minimizing what goes into any landfill. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Environmental Management. William Tal ba Director of Finance APPROVED: C~ ~ Harry Kim Mayor Comm. No. Enc. Ref. To: Ref.

REQUEST: Request to amend Ordinance 06-80 to include the following Capital Improvement Project to be funded by General Obligation bonds. Greenwaste & Composting Facility at the West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill $1,750,000 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): Project Data/Financial Impact Statement is attached. This appropriation is requested to construct a legally permitted composting facility at the resource recovery area adjacent to the West Hawaii Sanitary Landfill at Pu'uanahulu. The facility will provide for composting of greenwaste and other organics. In addition to increased diversion of organic materials from our landfills, the facility will allow manufacture of three products. 1) Avalue-added certified compost which is currently being shipped from off-island by landscapers and resorts, 2) Biodiesel, a transportation fuel and 3) Bunker fuel which will be used for the generation of electricity. Most of the additional costs required to run the facility will be offset with the greenwaste tipping fee. The project is designed to accept west side greenwaste, pallets, food scraps, used cooking oil and grease trap waste. Pallets, food scraps, and used cooking oil are legal to dispose of in our landfills, with some regulation. The Department of Health requires most greenwaste to be diverted and is legal only in small quantities. All these are valuable resources which, when fully processed, have excellent, established markets. The recovery of these resources, rather than disposal, is another step forward in attaining our County goal of minimizing what goes into any landfill.
