Kauai Coffee Co. has renewed its objections to locating a proposed landfill on a section of land it cultivates in Kaläheo.

In choosing the 127-acre site in August, Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. followed the recommendation of an advisory panel composed of community members. It ranked the site owned by Alexander & Baldwin No. 1 among seven location options.

Kauai Coffee President Wayne Katayama said a landfill shouldn't be located on property in agricultural production.

Katayama said an additional 100 acres could be needed to serve as a buffer to protect coffee crops from he called "fugitive trash."

He says yet another 100 acres could be pulled out of production because the landfill would cut cut off access to roads and water.
