After some inquiries I have been informed that the existing transfer station is an old land fill on state land that has been in its current location for more than 60 years. The county leases part of the land from the state which owns a larger parcel of land in back of the transfer station. The point is that it is very easy to expand the existing facility and widen the narrow bridge if there is the political will to do it. Waste Stream's claim that Newmoon’s property is the only possible location is simply not true. Any new facility belongs near the wind farm on Upolu Road or the existing facility can be expanded at a fraction of the cost of a new facility.
Also, the County already owns a parcel of property at the end of Iole Road near the NewMoon Foundation on the mauka side. So the County would not have to buy a parcel or build a new road. It already has the parcel and it is already served by a county road. Obviously, NewMoon doesn't want this project in their own back yard, they want it in our backyard.
And, by all means, share this with all those who have the courage to listen to some unpleasant facts including that they are being misled purposely by certain individuals with a selfish agenda. Aloha. Peter
