While CAMEO provides a ready base of information on hazardous materials, it is not designed for use by the general public. In the interest of making the chemical information contained in CAMEO available to the private citizen and thereby meeting the public's right-to-know objectives as expressed under SARA TItle lIl, the Department of Health with funds provided by the Environmental Protection Agency has contracted with the University of Hawaii, Environmental Center, to develop a user-friendly computer program based on the chemical and facility data contained in CAMEO. The new program, CFISH, for Chemical Facility Information System for Hawaii, is designed to facilitate public awareness of the storage, location, use, or accidental spillage of hazardous chemicals in the community. The CFISH program permits the public to examine some 590 chemical facilities within the State with regard to what chemicals are used in their operations, the amounts released to the environment as a routine component of that use, and records of any spills or other accidental releases. The following report reviews our efforts to develop the Chemical Facility Information System for Hawaii (CFISH) and the means taken to educate the public on its content and availability .

The methodology employed in designing the EIS Bibliographic Data Base, and the work of actual data base preparation are discussed in part II of this report. Because the utility of the initial Data Base will decrease in the future as additional EIS's are prepared, means for updating the Data Base so as to maintain its utility are presented and evaluated in Part III, together with suggestions for its extension to cover additional types of documents. The EIS Bibliographic Data Base itself, is being published separately.

The project as proposed, was conducted in three phases: Part A involved the collection of certain baseline data in the area originally proposed by the Navy. The data were analyzed in terms of identifying the existing water quality, benthic and pelagic biological communities, sediment characteristics and ocean current regimes. On the basis of the results obtained, the originally proposed area was recommended as a dredge spoil disposal site. The second phase of the study (Part B) addressed the actual dumping operations and included monitoring of the spoil on release and its distribution in the water column, on the bottom, and its immediate effects on the biota. The final phase (Part C) emphasized the longer term, postdisposal effects. The evaluation of the data obtained during the three phases of this study has resulted in a recommendation for continued disposal of dredge spoil at the specific dump site: 21˚15.9’ N., 157°56.7’ W. The two year study has produced no evidence of significant long-term effects, either positive or negative, on the geological conditions, water quality, or biological communities that can be attributed to the disposal of dredge spoil in this area.

The present report deals with the longer term effets of dredge spoil disposal, its transport along the bottom or in the water column, and its effects on the pelagic and benthic faunal communities. The general conclusions based on the results of the sampling program are that minimal adverse environmental effects have resulted from spoil disposal at the recommended site.

The present report presents the results of the second part (B) of the project which addresses the actual dumping operation and includes monitoring of the distribution of the spoil in the water column on the bottom and its immediate effects on the biota. The collection and analysis of samples taken during and immediately following the disposal of dredge spoil, 2 ½ miles south of Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Hawaii, indicate minimal environmental impact and modification to the water column, biota, and geology of the dredge spoil disposal site.
