Though Banned in 2005, Large Cesspools Still Pollute Hawaiian Waters
- "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued penalty orders fining the County of Hawaii and the owner of Johnson Resort Properties for failing to close large-capacity cesspools, which have been banned since April 2005." ..."These actions are part of our continued effort to close large-capacity cesspools to protect drinking water and near-shore water resources in Hawaii," said Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator of EPA's Pacific Southwest region. "Owners and operators need to promptly close their large-capacity cesspools to protect Hawaii waters, as we will continue to pursue violators." - excerpt from this U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) press release.
