Regarding: North Kohala CDP Action Committee CIP Recomm
Dear Mr. Yee,
Comm. No. 2017-13
November 2, 2017
Among the proposed CIPS for 2017-18 is the following, Green Waste Facility at Haw! (Ka'auhuhu).
We'd like to reaffirm and underscore our support for a gr facility at the North Kohala
Transfer Station. Thanks to its soil and rai North Kohala nificant agricultural area and
produces quite a lot of green "waste." Beca o separate waste facility here, it is all
thrown in the transfer station chute. Greenw constitute ver ha hat is presently put in the
single chute and transported to the West Hawaii Land to the island's waste problems
and precluding its use here a . A greenWaste chute here solves two important problems:
the availability of mulch in K ducing the volume of the West Hawaii Landfill. We need a
fully functional chute and I -yd. con er for gre aste. We have repeatedly called for a greenwaste
facility here in order to address these pr lems.
Please prioritize funding for this much-needed facilites
Thank you for your consideral* in this matter. Please feel free to call me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
John Winter, Chair
North Kohala Community Development Plan
Action Committee
