SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Guidelines
INTENT AND PURPOSE
This is to establish guidelines for reviewing Solid Waste Management Plans, for which special
conditions are placed on developments. The Solid Waste Management Plan will be used to: (1)
promote and implement recycling and recycling programs; (2) predict the waste generated by the
proposed development to anticipate the impacts on County Solid Waste Management Facilities;
and (3) predict the additional vehicular traffic being generated because of waste and recycling
transfers. A State of Hawaii licensed engineer or architect shall prepare a suitable Solid Waste
Management Plan for review by the Department of Environmental Management,
The Solid Waste Management Plan will contain the following:
1. Description of the project and the potential waste that may be generated: e.g., analysis of
anticipated waste volume and composition. This includes waste generated during the
construction and operation or maintenance phases. Waste types shall include (but not be
limited to):
A. Organics (including food waste and green wastes);
B. Construction and Demolition materials;
C. Paper (including cardboard),
D. Metal (including ferrous and non-ferrous metals),
E. Plastic;
F. Special (including ash, sludge, treated medical waste, bulky items, tires);
G. Hazardous (including paint, vehicle fluids, oil, batteries); and
H. Glass.
2. Indicate onsite source separation by waste type, e.g., source separation bins for glass,
metal, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, et cetera. Provide ample and equal space for rubbish
and recycling.
3. Identification and location of the proposed waste reduction, waste re -use, recycling
facility or disposal site and associated transportation methods for the various components

of the development's waste management system, including the number of vehicle
movements and associated routes that will be used to transport the waste and recycled
materials.
4. The report will include identification of any impacts to County -operated waste
management facilities, and the appropriate mitigation measures that will be implemented
by the development to minimize these impacts.
5. Analysis will be based on the highest potential use or zoning of the development.
REOUIl2EMENTS AND CONDITIONS
1. A Solid Waste Management Plan will be prepared for all developments including but not
limited to projects that are required to perform an environmental assessment,
environmental impact statement, or to receive a special use permit, as defined under the
policies of the Department of Environmental Management.
2. The Department of Environmental Management will require the developer to provide or
resolve all recommendations and mitigation measures as outlined in the solid waste
management plan, besides any conditions placed on the applicant herein.
3. A State of Hawaii licensed engineer or architect will draft and certify in writing the
Solid Waste Management Plan as complying with applicable Federal, State, and County
of Hawaii Solid Waste laws, regulations, and administrative rules.
