STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1081

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2011

 

RE:   S.B. No. 725

      S.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 725, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SOLID WASTE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to apply the solid waste management surcharge to all solid waste disposal facilities that receive solid waste for ultimate disposal through landfilling, incineration, or through a waste-to-energy facility, regardless of whether the waste is disposed of in-state or transferred out-of-state.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Health and one individual.  Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from the General Contractors Association; Honua Power, LLC; and PVT Land Company.

 

     Your Committee finds that the field of waste management is changing dynamically, including the shipment of waste to out-of-state facilities and the incineration of waste in-state.  This measure will help the Department of Health's solid waste regulatory program maintain current funding levels.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 725, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection,
