Maui's TOXIC Controversy - The OLOWALU Ash and Debris Containment Site - LAHAINA FIRE Update 

citizensoftheamericanconstitutionnet

The Mayor is not going to move 5 Football Fields 5 stories High of toxic ash a second time around! IT costs Big Money to transport 40,000 semi-truck Loads of Poison Ash again! Mayor Bissen is not going to spend 300 more days .moving it again and to WHERE! Bissen does not include this in his promise full of LIES! this is no Temporary Site! Let's not be fools!

I agree! We who comment about this here are trying to warn the public about the hazards! I hope they will listen, find out for themselves and get involved with the Planning of the Permanent Dump! Decisions are Being made now February 15th, 2023 the survey is due but the survey fails to qive the public the option to ship it off. So, I suggest, write it in! Tell Govt. what you want!

Fema had them sealed and shipped off island to be disposed of by the military.

It would have to be a very, very big wave.🌊

Like a tsunami

February 11, 2024 It doesn't need a wave. it just took a rain to wash it into the ocean right now! the engineers are not safely handling or containing the toxic gas at all! so what is going to happen when they build the permanent Dump??

@@icebiker3ever heard of earthquakes or a tsunami? Smh

I don't understand why all the environmentalists organizations aren't out there speaking up!

IF you attended the public meetings where 100's of People, Expert Scientists testified valid concerns, you would not consider it misinformation!

There are no rumors, the truth is, 5 Football Fields 5 stories High Full of Polson Ash is going to be Shabbily and precariously dumped in Plastic burrito bags atop sharp shards of POROUS cinder Cove where the elements and the cinder cone will puncture it and tear it and open up toxic Ash to blow and leach into the ocean ........ 1,000 Feet Away! The Olowalu WIND TUNNEL will Blow it all back to lahaina and throughout the Isles ! Temporary is actually permanent, the Permanent site at Olowalu is being built as we speak!

There is no misinformation about This! 100's of Locals, and experts and Thousands of People throughout the world have testified against Olowalu as a temporary site. They all say NO!

oh, but you know, they are in a big hurry! they say this dump site decision has got to be rushed because people need to get back home soon! Bull! nobody is moving back until maybe 3-5 years and that is IF they don't steal it for themselves!

To the point! Bissen is a puppet with no ❤

He is not human ! The people of oluwalu and experts spoke. The mayor will do what he wants. He doesn't hear the hearts of the people. Therefore, this is his heart 🖤

He's wearing some leaves, so that's ok then. Vanguard and BlackRock are investors in the company doing the work, so the plans for what is happening have been long made.

Do you call someone with a heart who waits 6 Long hours to call In the troops to help rescue elderly and immobile People from burning to death? No heart! No brain!

What were those alternatives? I can't seem to find any viable references to other options.

@@marcuskramer3514 exactly. 👍

The lady from Nasa

You need to watch the entire meeting of the council of jan 2nd. There were numerous people with amazing knowledge and experience in dealing with this very type of issue. How the council and mayor would so quickly make a final decision to desecrate land at Olowaho and not at least explore the options presented at the council meeting is so very sad and a silent statement of the real reason behind this whole mess. People of Maui deserve better than this. I do understand the need for a housing solution for those who have lost everything but I think some of the solutions presented could put people back on their land quicker than 1 1/2 years. I urge you to watch that meeting in its entirety to get the complete picture of how experts and citizens are being ignored. Very sad indeed.

@@karennedrow the people behind all this are not interested in what is best, just want to keep to their planning.

What location would you suggest instead? There needs to be somewhere reasonably close geographically to Lahaina in order to efficiently move all the debris so the rebuild can happen. That's what is most important. Once the rebuild is complete then a permanent home for the debris can become the priority.

But you can't live in wait for a possible devastating earthquake to hit - that might never happen. Totally understand what you are saying but I feel that at this stage, if no one can suggest a better location (and to my knowledge, no one has), then this site will have to do.

Have any of you thought that the ashes of the people who died can be separated out and put in URNS and then ship the rest of the ash to a designated Dump in the mainland. The Living and the environment need to be considered first!

@@donnawolfe2365 ash is ash. There is no practical way to do what you are saying.

@@c2hawaii Well.....whoever found the deceased already collected their ashes and I suppose are in urns with the family. So what exactly are you'all Army Corp of Engineers doing? what human ashes are we looking for now? They've already claimed 100 died! IF you weigh the consequence of trying to search for remains that no longer exist or are not even human remains just because you think they are there, but really don't know IF they are or where they really are, Versus, dumping 5 Football Fields 5 stores High Full of poison that is going to do a level of super fund toxic Type damage that will never be able to be corrected o mitigated, well, wouldn't it be better to do the right thing and dump the Poison safely and SHIP IT OFF like People are screaming for you to do! The Hawaiian Relatives of the dead already voted. MOVE IT OFF ISLE ! 100's of People Throughout the world are Protesting This! Go to Highly Scientific EXPERTS who called in and meet with the People and LET'S TALK ABOUT SOLUTIONS And Not RUSH To SCREW UP! Government Jobs are on the Line IF you poison The Coral Reef and the Manta Rays and the baby whales and the waters people drink and Surf and swim and snorkel IN! Do NOT DUMP THIS IN Olowalu There will be high price to pay for ruining a Multi-Billion dollar Island. No don't do it!

God be with you💕🙏 🤙

Of course it'll go into the ocean, what do they care.

Eddie Garcia of Living Earth Systems in Olowalu has maps and has Drones Flying over the dumpsite which has been worked on For months even before approval of People or County Council. No Public notification on input prion to Request to the State for use of Olowalu, illegally done!

@@donnawolfe2365 I wonder when the contract for moving the debris was agreed.

Yes it seems they already decided before the city council meeting and behind our backs!!!!

@@dawnlewis8617 so the plans for what is going to be built on lahaina also well pre planned no doubt, hence world coverage absolutely quashed. It's a practise run for what will be rolled out anywhere they wish.

And take it where?

Yea, okay! They chose to travel that road. No one forced them! BTW, they get paid by hard-working taxpayers good wages. Don't sing to the choir!

He's tired because he's under pressure from his masters to persuade the people to let this happen so that the new building of lahaina can start. He does not care about the people.

wow.. If you were truly informed and had gone to the protests and heard 100's of people testifying, then you'd stop being so sympathetic to a Mayor and County Counsel who are now making a dangerous decision that will negatively impact you, too! The Mayor and the Counsel never consulted with the public nor did they use the minds God Gave them to examine Solutions! Now, the poisoning begins..

I am just curious. Have you been to any meetings and do you live there?

No! The Mayor and County Council need to First Speak to and WITH the people they represent before making half- cocked Solutions for the safe disposal of highly toxic waste. This has not been done yet! Bissen went ahead and chose the Olowalu Dump 600 yards From the ocean and decided to put in a Land use request before consulting with anyone, Tamara Paltins Burrito Bag Containment For the Ash has failed miserably! The dump engineers Dump the bags as the bags Break open and spew Poison ash into the air and INTO your OCEAN.. Then the bulldozers grind the Poison into the ground and No mitigation measures are in place to stop Poison Leach into the aquifer and ocean. Failed! this is a failure! A warning for the public: If you live there, you better make sure the permanent Dump is planned differently than how it is done now, or you will all be poisoned not only you but your Land, your air, your water, your recreation, your tourism, and your whole life! Vigilant oversight is now necessary. Make sure the toxic ash is either Shipped off or safely picked up and in safe containment For Longevity!

SADLY MISINFORMED!

@@hawaiiangurl808 I'd be interested in why? My opinion is based on years of watching the news and the many, many, many ridiculous stories about what the latest trivial thing the Hawaiians are upset about. It's nonstop. Kind of like the "sacred birthing rock" that's half in the ocean that everyone was soooo upset about because some boat owner rubbed up against it when his mooring broke. I seriously doubt that anyone could tell that the event even happened as of today. After years of watching overreaction after overreaction I really think that the Hawaiian people have earned their reputation. This is after revering the Hawaiian people and their culture as a kid. How things change as you get older and see the world for what it is...

I think this is pretty accurate.

Tears?! He could hardly be bothered to read the script given to him.

I am so disgusted with how people have handled this entire thing. I understand that some feel they need to blame someone for this tragedy but it's ridiculous that these guys need security to protect them.

A'ole (no) who's protecting the people from this tyrant! This is his heart 🖤 same as the toxins he will be poisoning thousand of people in oluwalu. Don't be fooled by this mayor richard bissen.

Shame on you!!

Shame on the mayor and city council! 😡

It should weigh heavy on a politician, when they don't support the needs or listen to the people they represent. All broken promises and lies.
