HONOLULU (KHON2) — The U.S. Army has published is final environmental impact statement regarding the proposed retention of around 6,300 acres of state-owned lands at Kahuku Training Area, Kawailoa-Poamoho Training Area and Mākua Military Reservation on Oʻahu.
This comes after the Army’s request to maintain their usage of the Pohakuloa Training Area on Hawaiʻi Island was denied by the state Board of Land and Natural Resources just days ago.
According to the environmental impact statement, the Army is looking to lease less land at the Kahuku Training Area, while also not requesting further use at Kawailoa-Poamoho Training Area and Mākua Military Reservation.
The Army’s current lease on the land is set to expire in August 2029. For more information, visit the Army’s website.
