Home My WebLink AboutCOM 1062.038 2006-2008 • Y - Although this facility will cause emissions into the air, it will also cause a reduction in emissions froM HELCO'S oil burner, as well as from not trucking to Puuanalulu. Regardless, we should continue to get more information. • Y - Yes! We need an alternative to trucking thru Waimea/Waikoloa! Waste-to-energy sounds like the "greenest" thing to do. Mahalo! • Y - Do continue research on alternatives! • Y - Do look at alternatives (gasification)? • Y - Possible to concurrently start the EIS Process (cost estimates, REP, etc.)? • Y - Don't close the door on this or any option. The fact that you continue keeps the problem before the public regardless of how we finally resolve it. • Y - Go forward. • Y - Please continue. • Y - Need much more info. Need to remove current obstacles to recycling. Where do appliances go? Who "owns & manages"? Ash weight vs. metals weighT? Compare curve to start up truck, barge etc. • Y - We need all the help to keep our earth clean. • Y - I support your ongoing efforts to solve the waste problem. Also support continuing enhanced recycling on the whole island/county as well. • Y - This is an extremely important issue that needs to be dealt with very soon. • Y - A no brainer - no liability and no limits of any action. Maybe something can be learned from results. I do feel there is a better company out there to choose from other than Wheelabrator, but meanwhile... • N- My preference is mandatory recycling & landfill in Hilo. • N- Avoid getting sucked into the momentum if this is approved. Due diligence for such a large expenditure should be major & include other potential options.. • N- Backtrack & introduce legislation to construct a full scale sort station in East Hawaii. Then mandate an aggressive recycling program including point of sale restrictions (returning containers to point of sale etc. • N- Let's be visionary. • N- Take close look at GA gasification and other options as described by presenters. Sending trash to mainland is silly. Focus on zero waste, cradle-to-cradle. • N- Use one of the old quarries in the area instead of building a new waste-to-energy facility. • Y - Long Term - good idea. • Y- Should be the fore front of green since we are on an island. • Y - Move forward. • Y - Please let's be up to date and look forward! This is long overdue! • Y - No trucking trash thru Waikoloa! • Y - I agree that aggressive recycling is needed. • Y - Go for it! • Y - We need to move forward. Need to push recycling! • Y - I really must leave this to your personal best judgment. • Y - I feel you have the information you need to make the best decision. • Y - Move forward Fast. Comm. No. 04 Ref. To: lresearod VrJ Ref. Date APR 21 ?nng • Y - Also do a study on need for Bioremediation system... now check www.hydrolo ixsystems.com or lvnnahvdrologix.org. • Y - Make sure Hilo waste stays on the East side. • Y - Since there is a development period I would be for giving it consideration. Sounds better than some of the other options - such as trucking garbage to this side. • Y - I still feel there wasn't a very good investigation into leading technologies. • Y - We need to do something and not just talk about it. • Y - Ask manu questions. • Y - We have enough trash here. • Y - Do not truck from Hilo - this will cost far more than the proposed facility - fuel will go up 5% each year. • Y - Trucking is a no no, no - 30 yrs. Of experience tells me that the costs of trucking have been underestimated. • Y - I believe that the slow rate of progress which the council follows leads to controversy and dissent. Alternative waste disposal costs have not been compared to the $125 million/25 years. It should be a given that E. HI trash shall not be trucked to W. HI. • Y G-Power - Be helpful if you put more info on the topic at top - I think this is G-Power, if so - good. • N - 125 million is a good investment to solve the problem and proceeding with the first step at no obligation seems like a "no brainer" - and at least we are moving forward! • Y - Move forward with gusto! • Y - Approve the first step. • Y - As long as this proposal helps the big trucks from parading through Waimea, I am in favor of the program. • Y - The country should, in no way shape or form, the monetarily liable for building a private facility. This company wants to charge $150 million, which could provide a plant for an area of 10 million people no 200,000. There need to be a complete audit of all expenses incurred by this company. • Y - We need a recycling program. Where we separate bottles, aluminum cans, plastic, PVC cartons, newspapers, oil & paints, appliances, used furniture. Go to Germany, 85 million people not just 150,000 on this. It will work. Do not trash your car on your lot or street. Hawaii must be kept clean not trashed. • Y - We also need serious recycling. • Y - We are 100% behind you on this. Thanks for asking. • Y - Would the west side continue as is? • Y - To re-state what we said on the phone; please look into the shady past of the parent contractor. Waste Mgmt. And check into contract mgmt maintenance history of Wheelabrator; Get university closed system waste incineration review & critique - of any plan in DETAIL; Check out different designs & get seismic tsunami, hurricane & volcano lava flow consults from independent assessors. • N - Windy Waikoloa is no place for trash collection by truck. Wind & hilly terrain scatters trash and barrels all over. We line the transfer station. • Y - Time to bring Hawaii out of the 19th century and into the 21St century. Need mandated recycling, wind farms, solar energy also - keep up good work! • Y - The cost of trucking trash may not be less and is a ridiculous use of highways and fuel. When will recycling be mandatory as in mainland cities? • Y - Councilman Hoffmann, thank you for seeking our opinion. Note that our input does not resolve you of any liability to your voters. You are aware of the details. • Y - From both votes in one household - hopefully this will be a methane gas & other energy acquiring facility. • Y - The alternative to this project is ridiculous! Creating employment on the East side of this island is the problem - this is a safe solution but a positive step. • Y - We trust your judgment on this issue - you have the info. • N - Keep hose garbage trucks smelling up Waikoloa. The trucking companies need the money. By the time all the spoils are divided setting up the "facility" the island will be under water or garbage. The garbage will be sent to the moon before construction ever begins. • Y - Please address Dominic Yagong's landfill proposal. • Y - How about a by-pass road? • Y- We need to proceed with feasibility for this project. Aggressive recycling must be an integral component. • NOT through Waimea! • Y - Mahalo for giving us the opportunity to comment. • Y - - Why can't Hilo enlarge its present landfill, as some people have suggested (an old quarry nest door)? • Y - Get it on ASAP. Recycle everything possible. Get as much energy as possible and give the balance to Pele. Thanks for your hard work on this. • Y - Do it! • Y - We must as a community be responsible & deal with our opala. We are also responsible as community to work toward sustainable energy development. • Y -Needed greatly. A solid waste transfer station at Waikoloa!! • Y - I would like to see the least amount of toxic residue, preferably none. We must get started with examinations. • Y - Encourage an aggressive recycling program as part of this. • Y - But this step should include a comparative cost estimate with alternatives, inc. present system. • Y - Good Luck! • Y - Proceed. • Y - If it does not cost the taxpayer during this development period please proceed with due caution. • Y - How do costs compare with other options over the long run? • Y - I trust you have given this due diligence. We need to at least get more info/answers. • Y - What you say about this makes a great deal of sense. I trust your judgment - go for it! You need to be our mayor. • Y - To avoid
