The Department of the Army has released a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) about keeping up to 22,750 acres of state-leased land at PÅhakuloa Training Area in Hawai'i. This document is part of a joint compliance with national and local environmental laws and evaluates the impacts of different retention scenarios as well as a no-action alternative. The Army prefers the Modified Retention option, which balances environmental, social, technical, and economic factors. A 30-day waiting period will commence before a final decision is made regarding the land retention.
Simple Explanation
The Army wants to keep using most of a big piece of land in Hawai'i for training, and they wrote a paper to explain how it might affect the environment and people. They looked at different choices and will wait 30 days before deciding what to do.
