Waimanalo Gulch Landfill Issues

Community concerns regarding the operation and expansion of the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill are being addressed in a number of ways. An environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared related to the expansion of the landfill. Oahu residents provided comments at community meetings held in July and August, 2006. In addition, the mayor formed an oversight advisory committee to provide a forum for community representatives to share concerns about the landfill and to ensure that it operates in a manner sensitive to the surrounding community. Further, the Land Use Commission has required the City to hold public hearings every three months to advise on the status of the continued use of the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill and the City's efforts to reduce landfilled waste. Meeting notices and summaries will be posted here.
