3. WASTEWATER DIVISION
1. Pāhala and Nā‘ālehu AOC
The cesspool closures remain on track and in compliance with deadlines. Four options have
been found to be legally and financially feasible: 1) Package plants and new collection systems;
2) package plants connected to the existing collection systems; a maintenance contract model
individual wastewater system program; and 4) an operating permit model individual
wastewater system program for both communities.
The County has contracted an engineering firm to study each of the four options and provide
preliminary engineering reports, which will be due for Pāhala on May 6, 2023, and for Nā‘ālehu
on September 3, 2023. The next public informational meeting is tentatively scheduled for
February 23, 2023, at the Pāhala Community Center, beginning at 6 p.m.

4. INFORMATION REQUESTS FROM COMMISSIONERS
1. (Adams) Capacity of the West Hawai‘i Sanitary Landfill
1. Current estimates of the remaining capacity and options to extend the lifetime
in the short term and the long term 1
As of January 4, 2023, the landfill is nearing capacity in Cell 13 with 10 Cells remaining. The
Cells are reaching capacity with materials every 2.31 years. At the current rate of operation
(and no changes) and fill sequencing, the landfill will reach full capacity in approximately 23.1
years. The downturn in recycling markets, COVID pandemic and consumer bulk purchasing have
had significant impacts on recent landfill consumption of airspace. Approximately, 40% of the
materials received at WHSL can be diverted. With legislation, mandates and ordinances
removing most of the 40% from landfilling can add about 10 years to the capacity/life of
WHSL. Operational Efficiencies, Education and outreach throughout the Island can further help
increase diversion from the 60% of trash presently being disposed daily, again increasing life
expectancy at WHSL. The importance of source reductions, community outreach on reducing
packaging, reuse will have significant impacts on increasing capacity and airspace at WHSL.
2. Feasibility of establishing a Construction & Demolition landfill
The WHSL accepts about 65 tons per day of C&D for disposal. Justification for a landfill for C&D
would be challenging to justify for the Island. Legislation/Ordinance to ban C&D from landfilling
with mandates for recycling of construction and demolition would be more beneficial and cost
effective.

EPA Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grant Program
• REUSABLE FOODWARE PROJECT, currently in progress.
o Partners: DEM is working with Zero Waste Hawaii Island and Perpetual Reusable
Foodware Project. Perpetual is a non-profit that is providing free consulting to four
US cities, including Hilo.
o Grant Writer: Perpetual will be writing the grant and DEM will be submitting it.
o Purpose: design and implementation of a city-scale reusable foodware system in Hilo.
In such a system, restaurants are supplied with reusable foodware for a low per-use
fee, comparable to what they currently pay for disposables. Customers receive food
and drinks in reusables at no net cost to them, then they drop them in one of many
conveniently located bins when they’re done. Service providers collect, clean &
inspect the items before restocking them.
The Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Program provides grants
to implement the National Recycling Strategy to improve post-consumer materials
12
management and infrastructure; support improvements to local post-consumer
materials management and recycling programs; and assist local waste
management authorities in making improvements to local waste management
systems.
o Zero Waste Hawaii Island recently received funding from the EPA to do a project in
Hilo for reusable cutlery and survey businesses about reusable container program.
• RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK, not in progress due to reasons underlined below.
o Partners: DEM working with Recycle Hawai`i.
o Grant Writer: grant writer selected.
o Purpose: Expand the capabilities of four existing solid waste and recycling facilities
(Hilo, Kealakehe, Waimea and Kea’au) to create Resource Recovery Parks (RRPs), that
are geographically distributed for ease of access by communities around Hawaiʻi
Island including those in rural areas and population centers. Such parks would
provide a one-stop place for individuals and businesses to drop off materials for
reuse or recycling and divert these materials from landfilling. Through the
development of these parks, entrepreneurs and existing small-business owners
provide the means by which current but limited end-markets are more fully utilized
and new ones created.
Hilo Recycling & Transfer Station; currently does not have the room for this
project.
Kea’au Recycling & Transfer Station; does not have the acreage.
Kealakehe Recycling & Transfer Station; does not have the acreage.
Waimea Recycling & Transfer Station; does not have the acreage.
3-4 acres of land needed for each Resource Recovery Park facility.
Ideally could be sited on county transfer station land, many benefits including
DOH permitting
Covered warehouse space/large facility that can be built out later into resource
recovery park –
Space could possibly be leased to ecopreneurs or contractors to deal with
specific waste types.
Cost per site; $12 million for the built-out Resource Recovery Park with
equipment. That does not include land or rent.
$4 million available through EPA Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling
Grant.
$8 million will/could be through private investors and Closed Loop
Partner's loan/fund.
EPA will most likely not fund due to $8 million is not guaranteed to complete
the project.
Processing equipment for glass, containerized composting machines for organics
(including paper and cardboard), as well as improving collection bins for clean
stream marketable recyclable plastics (#1 and #2) and other materials at smaller
transfer stations, and improved signage.
13
Resources targeted but all need to be CLEAN (i.e., no tape or adhesives, no
labels, residues or caps)
Corrugated Cardboard and Newsprint (no glossy inserts)--will be sorted
into two categories:
1) Mobile composter for farmers, backyard farmers;
2) Large pieces to be perforated for weed mat for farmers, backyard
farmers, landscapers.
There may be legal issues for corrugated cardboard due to current
contract.
Office Paper (no “windowed” envelopes or glossy paper), boxboard (cereal
boxes, toilet paper rolls, etc.)--to be added to mobile composter for farmers,
backyard farmers.
PET (#1) plastics (non-HI5) – organization or company would like to have the
plastics.
Glass Bottles and Jars only (no window glass, dishes, plate glass, porcelain,
etc.). If glass is clean, can be used for landscaping, glass mulch, sand; or for
artists, gardeners.
There may be legal issues for non-HI5 glass due to current contract.
Green Waste (as is currently collected; no painted pallets, no Christmas trees
with flocking, etc.) can be added to in-vessel composters for farmers,
landscapers, backyard farmers.
There may be legal issues due to current contract.
Who will be cleaning the recyclables?
Number of County employees needed to increase staffing at Resource
Recovery Parks with objective of opening more hours to increase access, etc.
U.S. Department of Agriculture - Rural Development

drive to get to those services. The County of Hawai`i, Recycling Section will be
providing training to residents on home composting, food scraps and yard trimmings
generated at home can be turned into a healthy soil amendment and diverted from
the on landfill on Hawai`i Island.
Solid Waste Management Grant (SWMG) program is designed to assist
communities through technical assistance and training provided by grant
recipients to qualified organizations. SWMG program funds can be used to help
reduce or eliminate pollution of water resources in rural areas and improve
planning and management of solid waste sites in rural areas
o The communities that the County will be applying the grant for home composters
are:
Wai‘ōhinu, Hawai`i County, HI
14
Nā‘ālehu, Hawai`i County, HI

2. Update on report and final recommendations of the Cesspool Conversion
Working Group
(https://health.hawaii.gov/wastewater/files/2022/11/ccwg_final_report.pdf)
A. Recommendations for Cesspool Conversion Prioritization and Timeline
The working group recommends, based on greater understanding of impacts cesspools have on
nearshore water quality and human health, that the deadline by which cesspools in the State
must be converted should be adjusted to a staggered timeline that would accelerate the
mandatory conversion date for cesspools that pose the highest risk of harming human or
environmental health, as determined by the Hawai’i Cesspool Prioritization Tool and supporting
water quality data. The working group further recommends the adoption of policies and
mechanisms that will facilitate this acceleration and the need for an iterative process as new
findings are established.
A1. Replace the 2050 deadline, from Act 125 Session Laws of Hawaii (SLH) 2017, for cesspool
conversion as follows:
• Priority 1 zones (13,821 cesspools) converted by 2030
• Priority 2 zones (12,367 cesspools) converted by 2035
• Priority 3 zones (55,237 cesspools) converted by 2050
Approximately 35%, 7%, 21%, and 37% of cesspools in the Priority Level 1 group are located on
O‘ahu, Maui, Kaua‘i, and Hawai’i Island, respectively. Refer to Section 2.3 of the report for
priority zone definitions.
A2. Adopt and implement policies and mechanisms to accelerate cesspool conversions
statewide, prioritizing the highest risk areas. Recommendations include:
• Point-of-sale conversion requirements
• Require a seller’s disclosure form for any property sold that has a cesspool
• Financial incentives including grants, tax credits, and loans to offset the cost of conversion
A3. Priority areas and/or timelines of cesspool conversion should be updated/evaluated when
significant information, policy, and/or data changes arise. For example, use a higher resolution
map (census blocks or block-groups, rather than larger census tracts) to better assist managers
in identifying urgent problem areas.
B. Recommendations for Cesspool Conversion Financing
15
The high upfront costs associated with onsite wastewater system replacement are not
affordable for many Hawaii residents and are the biggest obstacle to cesspool conversion
among all income levels. The working group recommends developing robust funding and
financing options to assist low- and moderate-income homeowners to finance conversions, as
well as incentives for cesspool conversion for all homeowners. The working group further
recommends maximizing the use of available federal funding, which has been a missed
opportunity in the past. There will be a need for a corresponding increase in capacity at both
the state and county levels to effectively access and spend more federal dollars. Additionally,
both the state and counties will need to consider options for either reallocating resources or
generating new revenue to supplement other financing programs and homeowners’ dollars.
B1. Maximize use of available Federal funds such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
funds, Inflation Reduction Act and American Rescue Plan Act for State and Counties to
implement cesspool conversion. Conversion solutions may include, but are not limited to,
options for onsite replacement, connections to sewers, and local cluster wastewater treatment
systems. Where appropriate, State, County and local governments should pursue
congressionally designated spending requests for cesspool conversions.
B2. The State and Counties should develop a long-term, low-interest loan program for lowand
moderate-income homeowners.
B3. Partner with private lending institutions to integrate financing for cesspool conversions into
private lending applications. Explore the feasibility of financing cesspool conversions within
existing loan programs such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the US Department of
Housing and Urban Development, and Fannie Mae.
B4. Maximize use of all available federal, State and local funding, including grant, rebate, and
revolving loan programs. Analyze existing models set up by places like Suffolk County, New
York. Even with federal funding, it is likely that local financing will still be needed to achieve
cesspool conversions by 2050. Another option is to consider fees for homeowners with
cesspools to generate funds to finance or fund cesspool conversions. Special Assessment
Districts (Chapter 12) or Improvement Districts (Chapter 32) could allocate property tax to
finance improvements.
B5. Provide tax credits and rebates for upgrades or connection costs and allow these incentives
to be claimed by a third party on behalf of the homeowner.
B6. Increase personnel capacity at the State and County level to apply for and manage Federal
loans, grants, and other financial assistance programs.
B7. Enact policies to enable nonprofits and community development financial institutions to
help cesspool owners access available funding through the Clean Water State Revolving Funds.
B8. Create an entity within the State to help administer and provide federal funding to
16
Counties, nonprofits, and community development financial institutions for cesspool
conversions.
C. Recommendations for Public Outreach for Cesspool Conversions
Public outreach and education are essential components of a cesspool conversion program.
Wastewater upgrade programs in other jurisdictions found that robust public outreach was
necessary for the success of their efforts.
C1. Establish paid public outreach personnel for cesspool conversion at State and/or County
levels and work with non-profits to educate homeowners about why cesspools need to be
converted, what the due dates are, options and resources available to help with conversions,
and other relevant information.
C2. Fund the development of a comprehensive outreach strategy for cesspool conversions that
educates homeowners on conversion options and resources. Work with existing nonprofits and
institutions that support conversions.
C3. Support the development of a web page to serve as an informational clearinghouse with
resources needed for homeowners and wastewater industry professionals. Include information
about priority zones, cesspool impacts, links to priority zone web maps, and other relevant
information.
D. Recommendations for Cesspool Conversion Technology Considerations
Supporting access to certified technology that addresses nutrient pollution reduction and public
health protection is essential for Hawai‘i‘s unique geology, climate, and land use practices. The
working group seeks to promote the certification and adoption of novel wastewater treatment
and disposal technologies and policies to allow tailored solution.
D1. The Hawaii Department of Health should develop and maintain an online comprehensive
resource of approved technology options, including advantages and disadvantages of approved
technology options for given locations and site conditions (including onsite systems, sewering
systems, and cluster systems).
D2. Collaborate with national onsite wastewater testing centers (like Stony Brook University
Center for Clean Water Technology and Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center)
for onsite wastewater testing, training, and education to test and approve new alternative
wastewater treatment solutions.
D3. The Hawaii Department of Health should update minimum treatment standards (i.e.,
reduction of nutrients) for onsite wastewater technology for ecologically sensitive areas (high
water table, proximity to ocean/streams, prone to sea level rise).
D4. Establish a pilot program to provide matching funding for trialing wastewater technologies
in coordination with the Department of Health.
17
D5. The Hawaii Department of Health should develop an online map and database inventory of
all onsite wastewater treatment systems within the state for management and maintenance
tracking.
E. Recommendations for Cesspool Conversion Planning/Program Administration
Undertaking a massive infrastructure project such as converting 80,000 or more cesspools
requires proper planning and administration across stakeholders and governmental institutions.
The working group seeks to set up the State and Counties for successful implementation of its
conversion plan through the following recommendations.
E1. Require each County to develop a comprehensive integrated wastewater management plan
to include where connections to centralized (public and private) treatment systems are
planned, where individual treatment systems will continue to be needed, and where smaller
scale “cluster” treatment systems might be utilized. Include financial strategies.
E2. Establish a cesspool section within the Hawaii Department of Health’s Wastewater Branch
to include at least three to four staff to work on cesspool conversions planning,
implementation, permitting, and regulatory framework.
E3. Increase administrative capacity as needed for cesspool conversion on State lands. Include
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Department of Land and Natural Resources, Department
of Agriculture, Hawaii Community Development Authority, and Hawaii House Finance and
Development Corporation.
E4. Prioritize environmental justice principles for disadvantaged community needs (i.e.
Department of Hawaiian Homelands), including identifying funding and position(s) to promote
equitable outcomes related to the entire cesspool conversion process.
F. Recommendations for Cesspool Conversion Workforce Development
Converting 80,000+ cesspools will require many professionals in the wastewater field. By
investing in education and workforce development targeted at residents of Hawai’i, it may
enable the State’s economy to grow by offering well-paying jobs while meeting its
environmental goals.
F1. Assess and identify the workforce needs for upgrading all cesspools, including but not
limited to State and County workers, contractors, engineering, permitting and public
engagement. Include research and work already in progress with the community colleges.
F2. Re-evaluate current public sector salaries and whether they are sufficient to attract the
needed workforce. Streamline the hiring process to facilitate filling needed positions.
F3. Allocate funding to support existing (i.e. the Workforce-4-Water program) and/or the
creation of new workforce training program(s) such as education, certification, on the job
training, partnerships with other agencies, the University of Hawaii system, labor unions, non-
profits, or other entities as appropriate.
