HI SCR142

Requests the Department of Health to establish dust monitoring stations at strategic locations in and around Waimanalo Gulch, focusing on PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter measurements

Requires real-time public access to dust and air quality data collected from the monitoring stations, along with a community notification system when particulate matter exceeds safe thresholds

Notes that the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill generates dust impacting surrounding communities, and current air quality monitoring lacks dedicated dust monitoring stations in the area

Directs the Department of Health to submit a comprehensive report to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the 2027 Regular Session, including station specifications, detected contaminant levels, health risks, and mitigation strategies

Vulnerable populations including children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing respiratory or cardiovascular conditions are identified as particularly at risk from airborne particulate matter exposure
