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.

Workers found more damages to the liner in Cell E6, this time to the northwest portion of the liner. Because of the location of this damage, Waste Management reports a build-up of rocks must be removed to properly assess what happened. This task will take two to three weeks, the landfill operator said.

Waste Management reports contractors had to take the week off from pumping stormwater out of Cell E6 because afternoon showers prevented trucks from accessing the cell. But workers were able to pump more than 56,000 gallons of stormwater from the sedimentation basin for treatment and disposal, the report said.
