This paper summarizes Human Health Risk Assessments of the proposed use of combined ash from the H-Power municipal waste combustor (MWC) in two beneficial uses: (1) Landfill Daily Cover for the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill in Ewa, O`ahu, Hawaii, which is operated by Waste Management of Hawaii, Inc. for the City and County of Honolulu and (2) Landfill Final Cover, a component in the final cover of the Waipahu landfill, in Waipahu, O`ahu, Hawaii. The human health risk assessment represents one phase of a larger project involving the investigation of several potential uses of H-Power MWC ash as alternatives to the current practice of disposal in a lined monofill located at the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill. The ash consists of approximately 70% bottom ash and 30% fly ash from the MWC, hereafter referred to as H-Power combined ash. At this time, three alternative uses of H-Power combined ash have been identified: The first option consists of using H-Power combined ash as a component in the final cover in the closure of the Waipahu Landfill; the second option consists of using H-Power combined ash as daily cover at the Waimanalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill; and, the third option consists of mixing H-Power combined ash into aggregate to be used in roadway paving material.
