HILO, Hawaii (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has fined Hawaii County $28,500 for failing to develop a plan to replace large capacity cesspools in Kau with a wastewater treatment plant.

The EPA required all large capacity cesspools to close by 2005 but a number have remained in use around Hawaii since.
