The Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources has given approval for the transfer of state land on Maui to Maui County for the establishment of a wildfire memorial and debris disposal site. The proposed landfill, located in Olowalu, raised concerns among some community members regarding its potential impact on coral reefs and historic sites. Maui County officials have been urged to engage in further discussions with the community. The landfill is intended to manage debris from the deadly August 8 wildfire, ensuring proper disposal and addressing environmental hazards such as ash containing high levels of arsenic and lead.
