SLUDGE TESTING TO BEGIN IN MID-AUGUST   (Wed., July 20, 2011)—Mayor Peter Carlisle announced today that the City intends to test the feasibility of hauling sewage sludge from the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant starting in mid-August.   Tests will include hauling no more than one 5,000 gallon truck load per day from Sand Island to Honouliuli, on intermittent days, for no more than 30 days. Future testing may also include hauling similar loads to the Waianae and/or Kailua treatment plants.   Prior to testing, a public informational meeting will be held on August 1, at 7 pm, in the Mission Memorial Auditorium (Civic Center grounds, beside Honolulu Hale). The Department of Environmental Services will also set up a hotline for callers to report any problems encountered during the feasibility testing.   Mayor Carlisle also ordered an environmental assessment of the potential of hauling additional loads of sludge for a sustained period.   The sewage sludge processed at the Sand Island plant currently exceeds the capacity of the single Sand Island digester, and a contingency plan must be in place to protect public health and safety. The efficiency of the plant was improved in 2008, and this led to increased amounts of sludge being removed from the wastewater. Like the water, the sludge must also be treated. By early 2010, the digester was reaching its designed capacity. The mayor's proposed budget provided for funding a second sludge digester at the Sand Island plant, but a vote by the City Council on June 3 defunded the project.   "If the funding for a second digester had not been removed, some limited trucking of sludge would have been a remote contingency during the interim construction period," said Environmental Services Director Tim Steinberger. "It is more likely now, and on a sustained basis, which is why test runs are necessary."   "If circumstances go south at Sand Island, we will have no choice but to truck sludge to the other treatment plants on Oahu," Carlisle said. "As an absolute last resort, if trucking is not available, the City must issue a moratorium on sewer hookups to limit the volume processed by the existing digester. A moratorium unnecessarily harms the economy and of the state and county during a time when jobs here are essential. To do nothing would be irresponsible."   -30-   Media contact: Johnny Brannon, Mayor's Office, 768-5767.

CODE FOR AMERICA SEEKS TECH-SAVVY THINKERS   (Fri., July 22, 2011)—Mayor Peter Carlisle today announced that the City and County of Honolulu has been selected as a finalist by Code for America for its 2012 national fellowship program. More than 20 government entities applied for this program and Honolulu is one of ten finalists. The selection demonstrates Honolulu's cutting-edge thinking and willingness to invest in long-term change through the development of new web-based technologies and also creates opportunities for tech-savvy individuals here.               Code for America is a nonprofit comprised of civic and technology leaders, and is currently seeking local applicants for fellowships to build that technology for Honolulu. It recruits talent from the technology industry to give a year of service to build innovative web applications for city governments. Through a competitive process, Code for America chooses cities whose proposals reflect a deep understanding of how technology can improve cities.               "This is a great opportunity for the City to advance its information technology capabilities, along with the potential to select tech savvy applicants from Hawaii," said Carlisle. "By partnering with Code for America, we can move forward with plans to provide innovative web applications that will help make our City more efficient, transparent and participatory."               Jennifer Pahlka, founder and executive director of Code for America, said "One promising aspect of the program is to join the best thinking from the web industry with the best thinking from cities."               Code for America is now accepting applications for its 2012 Fellowship, based out of San Francisco, California. The deadline for applications is July 31.

SLUDGE TESTING TO BEGIN IN MID-AUGUST   (Wed., July 20, 2011)—Mayor Peter Carlisle announced today that the City intends to test the feasibility of hauling sewage sludge from the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant starting in mid-August.   Tests will include hauling no more than one 5,000 gallon truck load per day from Sand Island to Honouliuli, on intermittent days, for no more than 30 days. Future testing may also include hauling similar loads to the Waianae and/or Kailua treatment plants.   Prior to testing, a public informational meeting will be held on August 1, at 7 pm, in the Mission Memorial Auditorium (Civic Center grounds, beside Honolulu Hale). The Department of Environmental Services will also set up a hotline for callers to report any problems encountered during the feasibility testing.   Mayor Carlisle also ordered an environmental assessment of the potential of hauling additional loads of sludge for a sustained period.   The sewage sludge processed at the Sand Island plant currently exceeds the capacity of the single Sand Island digester, and a contingency plan must be in place to protect public health and safety. The efficiency of the plant was improved in 2008, and this led to increased amounts of sludge being removed from the wastewater. Like the water, the sludge must also be treated. By early 2010, the digester was reaching its designed capacity. The mayor's proposed budget provided for funding a second sludge digester at the Sand Island plant, but a vote by the City Council on June 3 defunded the project.   "If the funding for a second digester had not been removed, some limited trucking of sludge would have been a remote contingency during the interim construction period," said Environmental Services Director Tim Steinberger. "It is more likely now, and on a sustained basis, which is why test runs are necessary."   "If circumstances go south at Sand Island, we will have no choice but to truck sludge to the other treatment plants on Oahu," Carlisle said. "As an absolute last resort, if trucking is not available, the City must issue a moratorium on sewer hookups to limit the volume processed by the existing digester. A moratorium unnecessarily harms the economy and of the state and county during a time when jobs here are essential. To do nothing would be irresponsible."   -30-   Media contact: Johnny Brannon, Mayor's Office, 768-5767.
