Ernie Martin: Cancel Nanakuli Park to Make Way for PVT Landfill
By Andrew Walden @ 1:43 PM :: 8017 Views :: Maui County, Education K-12

by Andrew Walden

A Honolulu Council Committee on Legislative Matters hearing this Monday, November 26 at 10 a.m. at Honolulu Hale will consider Resolution 12-139, introduced by Council Chair Ernie Martin, to remove the park designation for the so-called Nanakuli Regional Park from the Waianae Sustainable Communities Plan.  The park—located on land planned for the expansion of PVT Landfill--had been designated in 2010, under the Hannemann administration, as a boost to competing Waimanalo Gulch landfill

By removing the park designation, PVT’s path to expansion will be clear and the closure of Waimanalo Gulch therefore becomes that much more possible.

Currently PVT accepts only construction waste.  With the opening of the third boiler at H Power, the flow of non-construction waste to Waimanalo Gulch is further reduced.

Waimanalo Gulch is directly mauka of Jeff Stone's Ko Olina resort.  Do the math.

Here are the details from the hearing announcement:
