State Department of Health (DOH) tentatively proposes to renew a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit to discharge treated wastewater and storm water associated with industrial activities from the East Honolulu Wastewater Treatment Plant, to receiving State waters, subject to special conditions to:

The proposed renewal permit for the existing discharge will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance.
The facility is located at 8480 Kalanianaole Highway, Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, 96825. The East Honolulu Wastewater treatment facility provides primary and secondary treatment of wastewater for approximately 33,000 people in the Hawaii Kai and Kuliouou-Paiko communities.
The receiving water, Pacific Ocean off of Sandy Beach, is designated by the DOH as a Class A, Open Coastal Water. Beneficial uses of Class A waters include recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife.
Persons wishing to comment upon or object to the proposed NPDES permit or to request a public hearing, should submit their comments or requests in writing no later than 30 calendar days after the date of this notice, either through E-mail at cleanwaterbranch@doh.hawaii.gov or by mail at P.
