Study Areas, Regional Setting, and Disposal Sites

The five active Hawaiian Island ocean disposal sites shown in Figure 1 service the major harbors for the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii. Each of the disposal sites is located on the submerged flanks of a volcano, and the Hilo disposal site is the only disposal site located near an active volcanic rift zone.
