Transport of Lahaina wildfire debris to start Monday, June 16 

The transfer of Lahaina wildfire debris from the Olowalu Temporary Debris Storage site to the Permanent Disposal Site adjacent to the Central Maui Landfill in Puʻunēnē is set to begin June 16, with completion expected in approximately five months.

While operations are ongoing, motorists traveling to and from West Maui are advised to plan for slower than usual traffic and to drive safely by not passing or tailgating debris-hauling trucks. 

Up to 50 trucks identified by “Lahaina Wildfire Debris” decals will make multiple round trips daily. Work will take place during daylight hours, seven days a week, for an estimated five months. For the safety of work crews at both sites, no night operations will occur.

More information, including Frequently Asked Questions, a map of the hauling route and the TDS-PDS Transfer & Closure Plan, is available at www.MauiRecovers.org/debristransfer. The USACE Debris Hotline is 877-214-9117.
