The Pahoa Transfer Station is likely to reopen as a waste facility. Hawai’i County Civil Defense Administrator Darryl Oliveira said Friday that the goal is to reopen the transfer station beginning March 1.
“On Feb. 1, the lava viewing will be suspended, that is to allow from Feb. 1 to March 1, the Department of Environmental Management the opportunity to restore the transfer station and put it back in operation,” Oliveira told reporters.
