MAUI WASTEWATER TOPIC OF HEARING

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will conduct a public hearing tonight on its proposed renewal of Maui County's Lahaina underground injection control wastewater permit.

The event will be from 6:15 to 9 p.m. at the Lahaina Civic Center.

The proposed permit renewal would allow the county to operate four injection wells at the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility. The facility recycles about 1 million gallons per day of treated wastewater and sends it for reuse by the Ka'anapali golf course, Maui Land & Pineapple Co. and construction contractors.

Most of the treated wastewater is disposed of on-site in four gravity-fed injection wells at an average rate of 3 million to 5 million gallons per day. The injection wells range in depth from 180 to 255 feet and are 1,500 to 1,900 feet from the shoreline of West Maui at an elevation of about 30 feet.

There are public and private drinking water wells on the mountain slopes above the plant, with the nearest well about 2.4 miles away at elevations of about 900 feet.

Written and oral comments must be received or postmarked by today. Comments may be mailed to the EPA's Ground Water Office (WTR-9), 75 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105, Attn: Nancy Rumrill; faxed to 415-947-3549; or e-mailed to rumrill.nancy@epa.gov.
