USACE contractors collect soil samples from cleared debris sites in Lahaina, Hawai‘i, Feb. 4. Once samples are obtained, they are sent to a lab on the mainland for testing. When sampling is complete, the checklist posted at each property is initialed by the environmental engineer and tools and equipment are thoroughly sanitized prior to use on another site.
The team remains safe during sampling by wearing proper personal protective equipment. This includes hard hats, safety vests, steel toe footwear, eye protection and gloves.
USACE is overseeing the debris removal mission under a Federal Emergency Management Agency mission assignment, which is part of a coordinated effort with the Hawai‘i Emergency Management Agency, Maui County and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to clean up areas of the island affected by the Aug. 8, 2023, wildfires.
