Phase 1: Hazardous Materials Removal
In coordination with the County of Maui and the State of Hawai‘i, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has assigned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to survey, remove, and dispose of hazardous material from all properties impacted by the wildfires in Lahaina, Kula, and Olinda.
Phase 1 of the debris removal process is the removal of hazardous materials that may impact human health, animals, and the environment through exposure.
EPA has developed an online resource tool that provides information on the hazardous materials removal process. For more information, visit Story Maps here.
Due to the conditions on the property, some properties were not able to be cleaned up during the Phase 1 effort and are referred to as “deferred properties”.
The US Army Corps of Engineers will handle the hazardous materials removal for deferred properties during Phase 2.
