*County reminds community of July 8 deadline for landfill expansion comments*

LĪHUʻE – The County of Kauaʻi Solid Waste Division is reminding residents that the deadline to submit written comments on the Environmental Impact Statement Preparation Notice (EISPN) for the Kekaha Landfill Cell 3 Vertical Expansion Project is Wednesday, July 8, 2026.

The EISPN was published in the June 8 edition of "The Environmental Notice, "which started the 30-day review period. The County encourages agencies, community groups, and residents to provide their input. The County hosted two public meetings in Kekaha on May 23 and June 24, providing attendees an opportunity to learn about the project, speak with County officials, and provide written and oral comments. Feedback and submissions received during the 30-day public review period will help shape the scope of the Draft EIS.

The Kekaha Landfill is Kauaʻi’s only active, permitted municipal solid waste landfill and is currently projected to reach capacity by 2030. To ensure uninterrupted, safe waste disposal for the island, the County of Kaua‘i is proposing the Cell 3 Vertical Expansion Project, which will add an estimated 10 years of capacity while the County continues the multi-year process to permit, design, and construct a new landfill.

Information on the project is available on the County website at www.kauai.gov/Cell-3Expansion [ http://www.kauai.gov/Cell-3Expansion?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].
