S.D. 1
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. 86 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE, CITY AND COUNTY OF
HONOLULU, AND UNITED STATES MILITARY TO COORDINATE AND
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF ILLEGAL DUMPING WITHIN WAIPAHU AND THE
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES OF EWA, PEARL CITY, AND AIEA ON
OAHU,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the State,
City and County of Honolulu, and United States military to
coordinate and address the issue of illegal dumping within Waipahu
and the surrounding communities of Ewa, Pearl City, and Aiea on
Oahu.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Health.
Your Committee finds that illegal dumping has long plagued
Waipahu, Oahu, particularly the area along the West Loch bike path
from Waipahu to Aiea, where shopping carts clutter drainage
ditches. Your Committee further finds that illegal dumping has
created a hazardous environment impacting Waipahu's and
surrounding communities' natural habitats and residents, and
immediate interventions are essential to mitigate harm, restore
ecosystems, and safeguard the health and well-being of the
