HWEA Quarterly Luncheon Announcement - January 2020

Agenda: Officer Elections and Hawaii Sourced Storm Water Treatment Materials Presentation

Speaker: ???, Kennedy Jenks

Topic: Hawaii Sourced Storm Water Treatment Materials

With increasing focus on storm water quality across the country and Hawaii, storm water treatment is becoming a requirement to achieve extremely low regulated numerical effluent limits. Media filtration is a commonly used treatment technology. However, as one of the most geographically isolated locations in the world, Hawaii relies significantly on imported materials. Filter media with proven success are also imported, resulting in higher costs. Through a grant from HWEA, the research team identified 15 potential materials and evaluated them based on 9 criteria. Materials selected for evaluation were previously researched materials that may be sourced in Hawaii. The materials ranged from aggregates and organic materials to used products.
