                        Green Projects in Hawaii


 On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
 of 2009 (Recovery Act). EPA manages over $7 billion in projects and programs that will invest
 in environmental protection and provide long-term economic benefits to aide recovery efforts
 across the nation. EPA's total Recovery  Act funds will be awarded as follows:

      (1) Clean Water State Revolving Funds ($4B);
      (2) Drinking Water SRF Funds ($2B);
      (3) Brownfields Funds ($100M);
      (4) Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Funds ($300M);
      (5) Leaking Underground Storage  Tanks Funds ($200M);
      (6) Superfund Remediation Funds  ($600M)


EPA has obligated over $53 million in Recovery Act Funds to Hawaii, including:

   *   The Hawaii Department of Health's Environmental Health Administration will receive
      $1.73 million in Recovery funds for the state's clean diesel programs. Hawaii plans to
      implement a clean school bus project under this program, replacing  many of the oldest
      diesel buses in operation and retrofitting up to 400 school buses.

   *   The Hawaii Department of Health will use Recovery Funding in the amount of
      $19,500,000 for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program.  It provides low-
      interest loans for drinking water systems to finance infrastructure improvements and
      ensures safe drinking water.

   *   Water Quality Management Planning (WQMP) will be undertaken by the Hawaii
      Department of Health using $306,600 of Recovery Act Funding.  Planning is an
      important step in EPA's goal to improve water quality  in America's lakes, rivers and
      streams.

   *   The Hawaii Department of Health has been awarded Recovery Funding in the amount of
      $30,352,300 for the state's Clean  Water State Revolving Fund program.  The program
      provides low interest loans for water quality protection projects for wastewater
      treatment, non-point source pollution control, and watershed and estuary management.

   *   The Hawaii Department of Hawaiian Home Lands will receive $200,000 in Recovery Act
      Funds for the East Kapolei pesticide mixing and loading area cleanup using Recovery
      funding for Brownfields.  The project will help cleanup contamination and revitalize the
      property for productive reuse.
