Maui 's toxic debris could fill 5 football fields 5 stories deep, including soil contaminated with lead and arsenic.
Some locals fear an ecological catastrophe if pollution does reach the water.
The operation of the site also threatens sacred Hawaiian shrines and altars, according to a lawsuit filed by two people.
Maui County is seeking to seize a privately owned former quarry near the Central Maui Landfill across the island.
Maui's Department of Environmental Management says it has long been interested in acquiring Komar 's land as part of plans to expand the adjacent public landfill.
The lawsuit filed by Garcia and Martin asserted that the construction and operation of the temporary dump has in fact damaged or desecrated such sites by exposing them to toxic material.
Garcia said he feels uneasy as rumbling trucks haul debris up the road next to his farm.
