Oʻahu’s Landfill Dilemma | INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAIʻI

The City and County of Honolulu selected a site on private land in Wahiawā for a landfill to replace the current Waimānalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill in West Oʻahu, which is scheduled to close in a few years. Critics don’t like the Wahiawā selection for numerous reasons including that it sits over an aquifer, or underground water supply. The city is lobbying the state to amend a law that limits where it can put a landfill. Panelists: Roger Babcock, Director, City Department of Environmental Services Wayne Tanaka, Chapter Director, Sierra Club of Hawaiʻi Rep. Amy Perusso (D), Wahiawā, Whitmore Village, Mokulēʻia Amarjit Singh, University of Hawaiʻi Professor – Civil, Environmental & Construction Engineering This content is made possible by viewers like you.
