Beneficiaries urge more data on proposed Genesys waste project; concerns about new LLC and emissions
Summary
DHHL presented an informational update on a proposed waste convergent project; public commenters raised questions about the developer entity (KD Malakole LLC), truck traffic, potential tire‑burning operations and protections for iwi kupuna, and asked for additional consultation and technical data.
DHHL presented an information‑only update on a proposed Genesys Oahu waste convergent project and noted inclusion of an alternate parcel with an existing 2021 environmental assessment. Several public commenters used the informational forum to press for more data, raise concerns about the operations described in the packet, and question sponsor transparency.
One commenter noted that the project documents in the packet list a new company name, KD Malakole LLC, with a Hawaii DCCA registration date of 06/30/2026 and a related LLC dated 05/11/2026, and asked who the members and managers are and how royalties or receipts would flow back to beneficiaries. "I don't know who the members are," the commenter said, noting that the packet provides limited detail. Beneficiary speakers requested mandatory archaeological inventories (AIS) during due diligence, clear community benefit commitments, and more rounds of consultation; another witness described concerns over truck traffic and potential air impacts.
