Feb. 7: Waste Management Daily Progress Report
In January 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency ordered a cleanup at Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill. Civil Beat requested documents generated for the EPA pursuant to that order, and will be publishing them, raw and unedited, in real time.
The Feb. 7 report shows some delays to repair in Cell E6 from weekend rain. The City’s director of Environmental Services, Tim Steinberger, told Civil Beat the rain caused delays but wasn’t heavy enough to cause more damages or flooding.
Waste Management reports, despite delays, it is meeting deadlines to comply with the EPA order. Workers are still pumping mud from Cell E6 — 2,500 gallons of it on Feb. 7 — and nearly 25,000 gallons of contaminated stormwater from the sedimentation basin.
