Lahaina FIRE Recovery - 400,000 TONS of Ash - WHERE will it GO ????

Lahaina Fire Clean Up and Recovery. Now that the removal of hazardous materials has been completed by the EPA (which was phase 1), it is now time to move onto phase 2 which is the removal, transfer and storage of the the remaining ash and debris. This is the responsibility of the county and state who will be supported by the U.S. Army corps of engineers.
I found a very informative video from the county of maui where the Director of Environmental Manegment for the county, his name is Shayne Agawa, he explains the location where they will be moving the ash and debris, how they chose the location, how it will be transported and how it will be monitored in the future.

I lost my house in Santa Barbara and years after the cleanup I had my soil tested by an analytical laboratory and it was still loaded with heavy metals! Lead was super high but there was also an astonishing variety of other toxic metals present.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

That is all the stuff in the house. And that is what did not go up in the air.

[@tmayorca8770]

There are plants such as lupine and others that will draw up the heavy metals thru their roots. Some of the plants also hold the soil together. After a year or two the plants can be pulled up and taken to an incinerator where the heavy metals get extracted thru the burn process and recycled or disposed of. The. You can rest the soul and scrape of the topsoil however needed and then add replacement soil.

[@policedog4030]

I read that fish bone meal can be used to bind the lead? Might be worth a try. The lead from pre-1970's paint was lead carbonate and changing that to lead phosphate is supposed to make it a less assimilable form for human health but I'm no expert

BRGrundy, please go to the meeting and use the measley 3 minutes they give you to speak. Also, see video titled'; The actual community feedback about dumping the Lahaina Fire ash 2000 feet from the ocean. quote; from that video: "there's no perfect option really, we've just got to do the best we can to choose what we FEEL, with the data we have and the feedback from the community, what is the best option" Well my three minutes worth is; NO THANKS!! 😡😡 FEELINGS AND UNINFORMED COMMUNITY FEEDBACK IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!! 😡🦨💩 What tried and tested plan of action is in place if there is water contamination? It is a lot of toxic waste to have to move for a second time if there's any health or safety issues. And 10:50 How on earth did they separate the hazard materials from what they plan to bury in a 'big bowl' ? This whole proposal is ridiculous nonsense! I reject it.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

I do not mean to be offensive in anyway. These are things I myself had to consider. There are many things that the ashes can be made into. Mostly personal keepsakes for families. The scrap metal maybe that can be remade into benches, etc. Any glass shards or crystalized stones from driveways maybe can be polished and used as inlay. If that is all made into park items and placed say around the Banyan Tree or other areas, your folks will be near. Maybe professional remake, reuse, custom industrial artists can be of assistance. There is a ind. arts learning center in Oakland, CA.

Temporary railroad tracks for the 3.5 miles might be helpful compared to "tens of thousands of truckloads"? Maybe the hill is too steep for the last part or they don't have the railcars? If they chose that route it would take about 450 of the Chinese 25 meter lengths of rail, and 9,000 or so concrete crossties and those could be reused elsewhere on the island after the project.

Build a processing plant nearby. You'll contaminate the rest of the island by moving it. Most of whats in the soil can be removed by scraping it off or by using plants that bring up heavy metals and toxins thru their roots and then removing the plants in a couple of years. Those metals can then be extracted from the plants when it gets incinerated.

Thanks for posting this Jesse. There are some very important questions to be asked; 1: WHERE will we be able to take our debris if we opt out of the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) cleanup, and how much will it cost us per cubic yard to dump? The reason I ask is that the ACE has said that if we want to keep our slab foundations they will NOT remove our ash debris. (Saving our slabs and adding a new structural slab over them will save us $100,000 or more in rebuilding per owner). 2: WHEN will we know the answer to question 1? We cannot make a logical decision based on cost and value without having the answer to these two basic questions! If they don't answer these questions in a very timely manner, many will be locked out of the ACE program and at the mercy of the powers that be as to the cost and viability of rebuilding.

Clearly neither of you have ever taken a college level science course. Ash contains very little lead as it usually cooks off and aerates into lead vapor with extreme heat. What lead does not aerate mixes with copper and aluminum to create alloy slag. Ash is not toxic, it is high ph and high in nitrogen, which makes it an ideal soil amendment, and key ingredient in organic fertilizer. Pure ash typically is very low in actual toxins, that’s would be the other debris.😂😂 go back to school
