SUMMARY: Waimānalo is a land district between Kahe Point and Kapolei, near what we know today as the Ko Olina subdivision. The operation permits for the Waimānalo Gulch Landfill have been continually extended despite community opposition and issues with run-off and flooding. The latest vote from the Hawaiʻi Land Use Commission re-extended the landfill's operations with the stipulation that the City & County of Honolulu must find an alternate site by 2028.
