The above table is to include data on the waste disposed in the landfill (not the
greenwaste or recycling data).
1. Life Cycle Analysis status
This study is in its final stages of analysis modeling and presentation of results and is expected
to be completed by the end of December.
2. Recycling and Landfill Diversion updates
Craig Kawaguchi is the acting Recycling Coordinator as of October 17, following the departure
of Sanne Berrig. He has administered the HI-5 Deposit Beverage Container Program for the
County since 2004, and worked briefly at the Kea‘au Reuse & Recycling Center when that site
first opened.
Volcano Certified Redemption Center – The CRC is being put back out to bid soon, for the third
time. This bid focuses on reaching out to nonprofits and the community sector and other
business sectors. Staffing at all CRCs on our island is still an issue.
E-Waste Program – We are still evaluating the single bid received. As it remains an open
procurement, nothing specific can be said. Mr. K’s has been holding free collections for the past
couple weeks. DEM is uncertain how long this will continue.

3. WASTEWATER DIVISION
1. Pāhala and Nā‘ālehu AOC
The Wastewater Division of the Department of Environmental Management has submitted to
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency its Feasibility Evaluation Report to identify the legal
and technical feasibility of four potential wastewater treatment project options to replace the
large capacity cesspools in these two communities.
The report will be posted upon its acceptance by the EPA. DEM has also begun the next phase
of the process, engaging with consultants to begin the Preliminary Engineering Report on the
feasible options.
A public community informational meeting was held on August 31 at the Nā‘ālehu Community
Center. More than 30 residents of Pāhala and Nā‘ālehu attended to learn about the status of
the gang cesspool closure project, and to ask questions of DEM representatives in attendance.
The slides from the presentation, including a listing of the four options, are attached to this
report. The next public meeting will be scheduled for February 2023 in the Pāhala Community
Center.

(Oral report)
4. Wastewater plans
1. Addition of wastewater services for the Puna District 1
The County of Hawai‘i, Department of Environmental Management is evaluating the feasibility
of and potential locations for the addition of wastewater services and facilities for the Puna
District in the context of the Kīlauea Eruption Recovery planning process (Proposed Action).As
the proposing agency, the County of Hawai‘i has determined that the Proposed Action may
have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, will likely require the preparation
of a programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS). Per Hawai‘i Administrative Rules
(HAR) Title 11 Chapter 200.1-14(d)(2), the County is preparing a PEIS in accordance with
Subchapter 10 and seeks public comments on the issues you feel should be evaluated in the
PEIS. See Footnote (1) for a link to the project website.
2. Puakō and South Kohala Regional Wastewater Master Plan
The County of Hawai‘i Department of Environmental Management is preparing a Wastewater
Master Plan for wastewater services in the Puakō and South Kohala regional area. The regional
area includes the communities of Waimea, Waikoloa Village, Kawaihae, and Puakō. The overall

general scope of the services to be performed by the consultant (AECOM) for the project shall
include recommendations for the County of Hawai‘i's sanitary sewer system through the
planning period, including wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal. The planning period
will be 30 years (2022 to 2052). The engineering planning work shall be documented into
several reports, with the major document being a wastewater master plan.
The master plan shall substantiate the need for the proposed facilities, identify feasible
alternatives, and provide a systematic evaluation of these alternatives considering the unique
demographic (including future growth and development), geotechnical, topographic,
hydrologic, and institutional characteristics of the area. The master plan shall demonstrate that
the recommendations are implementable from legal, institutional, financial, physical and
management standpoints.

1. Information requests from Commissioners
2. (Gaffney) How does DEM respond to Water Quality Advisories regarding
high bacteria counts from the Department of Health, Clean Water Branch?
Department of Health does its own testing and reporting and they don’t necessary coordinate
with us when and how. Therefore, when we receive a report, we investigate the site and our
records to see If we had any sewer spills or blockage that caused the incident.
3. (Adams) What is the net cost for the County – median and range per
appropriate quantity – to:
1. Dispose of residential solid waste and hazardous waste
2. Recycle different materials left at Solid Waste Division
facilities?
3. Updates on ISWMP priorities progress and efforts to obtain
EPA Infrastructure grants.
4. Thoughts on setting up an advance deposit fee on all or a
subset of goods to fund SW disposal
