REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO MAKE WATER QUALITY AND CONTAMINATION TESTING RESULTS FOR WAIMANALO GULCH PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE.

This Senate Resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Health to make water quality and contamination testing results for the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill publicly accessible in a timely and user-friendly manner. The bill specifically asks the department to provide clear information about the types of contaminants tested, how often testing occurs, and how to interpret the results, while also collaborating with community organizations and academic institutions to promote transparency. Additionally, the resolution requires the Department of Health to submit an annual report to the Legislature summarizing these testing results and any actions taken in response, with reports due before each regular legislative session begins. This measure aims to ensure residents, researchers, and policymakers have prompt access to environmental data affecting public health and the surrounding watershed.
