TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo

[knieft]

Sheesh, telescopes are somehow bad...now composting?

http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/news...o-landfill

"Native Hawaiian communities in Keaukaha and Panaewa are gearing up to fight a planned composting facility adjacent to the Hilo landfill, a move that could jeopardize a key component of the county’s plan to close the landfill and recycle more of its waste.

Residents, including Hilo Councilwoman-elect Sue Lee Loy, are asking for a more in-depth study than the environmental assessment currently underway."

I was gonna say what's next for "Hawaiians" to oppose but I couldn't come up with anything greener than telescopes and composting off the top of my head...

Interesting that the print edition headline is "Willing to fight" with "2 Native Hawaiian communities oppose planned composting facility at Hilo landfill" as opposed to the linked headline.

Hopefully this doesn't end up in a contested hearing...

Cheers,
