PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Transportation: 2.3 Aquifers, Coastal Waters and Stormwater
Action 2.3.3.a (page 2-9)
Encourage State legislation to prohibit the use of cesspools
as a means for wastewater disposal in areas below 1,000 feet Mean Sea Level, with the objective of protecting both water quality in coastal areas, as well as in the aquifer, particularly
the portion underlying State-owned lands in the Maku'u area, where there is potential to develop the source for community potable water wells and agricultural irrigation purposes.
(2.3.1)
Goals:
Aquifers that could be used for future community wells in high growth lower elevation areas are protected from pollution by untreated wastewater disposal systems.
Maintain
and increase the quality of coastal waters.
There is a strategy to address storm water runoff and localized flooding problems.
(2.3.2) Objectives:
Plan for future potable and irrigation
water demand and preserve a contamination-free zone in the portion of the aquifer in lower Puna for future development as a potable water source.
Improve wastewater treatment methods
and standards in areas designated for future aquifer use in coastal areas.
Address the special challenges of managing storm water runoff on Puna’s lava terrain on a watershed basis.
