RE: S.R. No. 21
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and
Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 21 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL DUMPING
WITHIN THE WAIPAHU COMMUNITY AND URGING THE STATE, CITY AND
COUNTY OF HONOLULU, AND MILITTkRY TO WORK TOGETHER TO TVDDRESS
THIS CONCERN,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to recognize the
issue of illegal dumping within the Waipahu community and urge the
State, City and County of Honolulu, and military to work together
to address this concern.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Health.
Your Committee finds that illegal dumping has long plagued
Waipahu, particularly the West Loch bike path from Waipahu to
Aiea, where shopping carts clutter drainage ditches. Your
Committee further finds that this illegal dumping in Waipahu and
surrounding communities threatens public health and the
environment, contaminating soil, water sources, and roads. Your
Committee concludes that urgent action is necessary to mitigate
health risks, protect the environment, and ensure the well-being
of Waipahu residents and visitors.
