I don't think there was ever a situation that occurred, even though we over-filled certain areas, that there was a threat to public health and safety.
From where I am sitting now, 2008 is not realistic.
More bang for your buck. So we could potentially remove 80- to 100-thousand tons from our waste stream, versus mixed recyclable is only estimated at 24,000 tons.
They already know we are under the gun. There is no way we can close Waimanalo Gulch Landfill by 2008 and select a new landfill.
We need to expose the main before repair can begin.
We haven't gotten to that period where we can stop the pumps from going on, and the water from coming through the force main and do the repair. I know we need to do a more thorough inspection and maintenance program also, not just replace pipe.
This is one of the most challenging main breaks our department has faced in many years.
We're going to continue the patching of the pipes where there are cracks. Where we can, we're going to put a sleeve around it. Then, we're going to pour the concrete jacket.
Once the concrete goes in, we need to let the concrete set and harden for another 24 hours.
