Welcome
Welcome to the official website for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Army Training Land Retention (ATLR) at Kahuku Training Area (KTA), Kawailoa-Poamoho Training Area (Poamoho), and Makua Military Reservation (MMR) on the island of Oʻahu, called “Oʻahu ATLR EIS” for short. This website shares information about the Proposed Action and provides an opportunity for the public to get involved and stay informed.
Project Overview
The Army proposes to retain up to approximately 6,300 acres of State-owned lands at three installations on the island of Oʻahu. Military training has taken place under a lease on State-owned lands at KTA, Poamoho, and MMR since 1964. The Proposed Action is a real estate action that would enable continued military use of the State-owned lands at these three installations on Oʻahu.
An EIS is being prepared under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Hawai‘i Environmental Policy Act (HEPA). Both NEPA and HEPA ensure environmental concerns are given appropriate consideration in decision-making, along with economic and technical considerations. Public input is a valued part of the process.
