PVT Land Company owns and operates a
successful integrated solid waste management facility
along the Island of Oahu’s Waianae Coast. This facility
is the only construction and demolition (C&D) debris
facility on the Island of Oahu. PVT Land Company
retained Pedersen Planning Consultants to prepare a
socio-economic impact assessment of a proposed expansion
of PVT Land Company’s ongoing recycling operations, the
height of existing land contours, and the installation
of additional renewable energy facilities.
Pedersen Planning Consultants (PPC)
examined selected demographic and economic trends on the
Island of Oahu and Waianae Coast. PPC also inventoried
land uses within about 0.5 mile of the solid waste
management facility. |
|
 |
PPC
conducted interviews of various community leaders along
the Waianae Coast in order to determine what benefits
and/or undesirable impacts they anticipated from the
Proposed Action, as well as any actions that PVT Land
Company should take if the Proposed Action is
implemented. PPC also evaluated community concerns
expressed from earlier public hearings and surveys
conducted by the Hawaii Department of Health. |
|
|
While impacts to population trends and local land uses
were not anticipated, PPC did expect the Proposed Action
to generate substantive economic benefits to Oahu’s
overall economy. PPC applied the use of the IMPLAN
model to calculate direct, indirect and induced economic
benefits. |
