Feb. 11: 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, as soon as we receive them.
On Feb. 11, workers made repairs to a portion of the liner in Cell E6. Mainly, they removed two horizontal wrinkles — about 80 feet long — that had formed. Workers cut the wrinkled material, removed any slack, then re-attached the material.
Work crews’ other major task is to complete a stormwater diversion channel, a process that Waste Management reports is in its final stages. Rains caused some delays to other work. Workers are still pumping out stormwater that gathered in a sedimentation basin after December and January rains, including 19,350 gallons on Feb. 11.
