Draft Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan Update available for public review
The County Solid Waste Division announces that the draft Integrated Solid Waste Management
Plan (ISWMP) Update is available for public review.
The ISWMP represents a roadmap for setting the County’s vision for future management of
municipal solid waste. The County has been working with its consultant, JACOBS, to develop the draft
ISWMP Update. The County Administration, Public Works staff, and a Solid Waste Advisory Committee
appointed by Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami comprised of Kaua‘i residents, business, and
government representatives provided input for the plan.
The ISWMP is updated every 10 years. It provides information on current solid waste
management practices and offers recommendations and associated costs for program improvements.
The ISWMP Update has been posted on the County website and is available for public review at
www.kauai.gov/iswmp. Comments on the ISWMP Update can be submitted in writing to
solidwaste@kauai.gov. The public will have 60 days to review the document and provide comments on
the ISWMP Update. A virtual public hearing on MS Teams is planned for Thursday, June 17, 2021. The
County will issue a separate notice with details on the public hearing.
Please contact Allison Fraley at 241-4837 if you prefer to check out a hard copy of the ISWMP
Update for review or have any questions about the planning process.
