The Mayor's Landfill Selection Committee recently completed their work in ranking prospective sites. Originally it was reported that Kailua's Ameron Quarry site held the first position. Subsequently it has come to light that there was a "data error" which caused a re-ranking of the selection list moving Ameron to #5. Please see the attached letter that I sent to Mayor Carlisle upon first learning of the prospect of a landfill near sensitive marshland. I believe we need to look at new technology that will help Hawaii in reducing the need for such large landfills. I'll be working on these issues in the near future.
