Inside Honolulu reports:

The city expects no significant impacts from its plan to modify the expanded H-POWER facility to be able to handle truckloads of raw sewage sludge.

Its draft environmental assessment was accepted by the state Office of Environmental Quality Control and included in the new environmental notice published today.

“Traffic and roadway impacts will be minimal with only slightly increased traffic counts,” the city’s Environmental Services Department wrote in the DEA. “There are no further impacts including cultural, noise, visual, socioeconomic, solid waste, energy, or human health that do not already exist.”

The city estimates that the truck receiving station would cost $10 million to build and could be completed this year.
