ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

NATURAL RESOURCESThe USAG-HI Natural Resources Management (NRM) program employs over 50 Biologists and field crew split between the Islands of Oahu and Hawaii.

100 Threatened and Endangered Species (TES) recorded on Army lands in Hawaii.

Roughly one-third of the nation’s listed TES are located in Hawaii. Of the State’s total TES, 28% are found on Army lands.

The Army works to protect all these species and has played a key role in saving two species, a native Hawaiian mint and a native Hawaiian bellflower, from extinction through management and partnering with conservation agencies and organizations.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP• The Army has a greenhouse on each island dedicated to growing listed endangered plant species and provides funding to Dr. Mike Hadfield at the University of Hawaii to propagate the listed snail species.

• For the past two years, the Army has managed all the nesting sites of the Oahu Elepaio, a listed bird species, in the Schofield Barracks Military Reservation by setting up rat baiting grids around the known nesting sites. The Army has also developed an official Right of Entry with the Damon Estates to manage the Elepaio in Moanalua Valley and managed those birds through the winter 2005 breeding season. The Army will continue to manage these birds during the breeding season. In addition, the Army works in cooperation with the Nature Conservancy Hawaii, to manage the birds found in the Honouliuli Preserve on the island of Oahu and with the Board of Water Supply, to manage the birds found in Makaha on the island of Oahu.

• The Army collects seeds and other plant material, grows them in a greenhouse and outplants them back into the wild. This ensures that the genetic material of the plants that could be impacted by military activities is safeguarded outside of the area where they are most threatened. In fact, the Army has been instrumental in saving two species, Cyaneasuperba and Cyanea pinnatifida, from extinction through these collections and outplanting.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Live-fire ranges in Hawaii have been selected as one of three demonstration sampling projects aspart of the Range Sustainment Program managed by the Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) at AberdeenProving Grounds, Maryland. Evaluation of range contaminants is required to be completed by 2008under Department of Defense initiatives under the Range Sustainment Program. These include DoDDirective 3200.15: (that is to manage and operate ranges to support their long-term viability andutility to meet National defense mission), and DoD directive 4715.11: (to ensure long-term viability ofranges while protecting human health and the environment).

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

• Phase I studies involved a records search of available data to determine if there was a potential for munitions contaminants to move off installation property. The records search was done in June/July 2006 for the live-fire ranges in Hawaii and the draft reports have been issued for review.

• The Phase II sampling (this effort) of groundwater and surface water would include sampling of groundwater from wells in MakuaRange and Schofield Barracks, and surface water flow (3 times) from Makua Range and Schofield Barracks to validate the sampling protocols for the nationwide program.

Aqua Engineers was awarded the “Privatization of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and Distribution System at Schofield Barracks”, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The contract involves operation and ownership of the Schofield Barracks WWTP, 17 WWPSs, approximately 70 miles of gravity sewers, and numerous grease traps and oil/water separators. The Schofield Barracks WWTP has a current design capacity of 4.2 mgd. The scope of work of our contract includes upgrading the existing secondary R-2 treatment plant to R-1 standards and installing a SCADA system within the first 2 years of the contract. Additional projects scheduled for the first 2 years include pump station upgrades, oil/water separator and grease trap upgrades, and development of a comprehensive collection system maintenance and repair/rehabilitation project prioritization program.

Defense Environmental Restoration ProgramThe Defense Environmental Restoration Program was established by the Comprehensive Environmental Response,

Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. This legislation provides the authority for certain cleanup activities at former Defense sites in the United States and its territories.

• The Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force was established in 2005 to address and guide Hawaii’s long-term sustainable future. The process seeks input from businesses, government, and private citizens—from our keiki to our kupuna.

In 2005, the Hawaii State Legislature, through Act 8 (SB1592 CD1):

• Created the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force to review the Hawaii State Plan and the state’s planning process, and

• Required the Office of the Auditor to prepare a Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan.

The Task Force consists of 25 members appointed by the Governor; Speaker of the House; Senate President; and Mayors of the counties of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui, and Honolulu; and the President of the University of Hawaii. The Director of the State Office of Planning and the Auditor serve as members of the Task Force.

Oahu Conservation Partnership

• OCP initiated in November 2004 with OSD support and continues to meet monthly

• Partnership co-chaired by representatives of Trust for Public Land and Office of Hawaiian Affairs

• Partners act individually but meet monthly for on-going dialogue, coordination and discussion

• Participants include:Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, Hawaii’s Thousand Friends, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, USFWS, Conservation Council for Hawai‘i, USAG-HI, HIARNG, Navy, Air Force and USMC

• Army is only a participant in the OCP

Oahu Conservation Partnership Mission:

To collaborate on the protection and restoration of Oahu’s natural areas, cultural resources, and open spaces to improve

the quality of our lives.

Highlights of OCP Conservation Objectives:• Ensure that residents have access to natural and cultural areas as well as scenic vistas• Safeguard important historical & cultural places • Protect farms, ranches, and forests• Conserve wilderness, wildlife, and endangered species habitat • Encourage compatible land use and/or conservation of natural resources

• Hawaii Environmental Forum (HEF) — This is a statewide outreach effort that uses the Joint Interservice Regional Support Group (JIRSG) and comprises all services including the Coast Guard as well as several conservator organizations including theHawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, the USFWS, the Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, the North Shore Community Land Trust, and the City and County of Honolulu. One goal of the group is to identify additional conservation easements in the vicinity of military installations.

• Hawaii Pollution Prevention Partnering (HP3) — The HP3 is a formal state pollution prevention partnership built on innovation and collaboration. While working together, both the State and DoDsearch for additional opportunities that can reduce compliance dollars, monitoring and reporting. This partnership operates through mutual incentive, planning, and use of innovative processes and technologies that can reduce environmental costs while achievingcompliance through pollution prevention.

Hawaii Interservice Partnership

What is an Army Compatible Use Buffer (ACUB)

• Involves an agreement between an Army installation and another party (NGO, state or local government) that enables the other party toacquire land or interest in land from a willing private land owner. Army does not own the land.

• Army gets reduced encroachment and greater training flexibility.Partner get enhanced mission capability (T&E, Hunting, Agricultural)

• Costs are typically shared as multiple purposes are served (buffering mission, endangered species, hunting etc).

• Often involves stakeholder partnerships for decision making.

• Authorized: 10 U.S.C.2684a "Agreements to limit encroachments and other constraints on military training, testing, and operations"

What does the military get from ACUB?Protected boundaries

Enhancement of resource protection

• Protects installations from being only remaining refuge for biodiversity

• Enables Army to meet endangered species requirements of promoting recovery

• Protects species fromendangerment

• Reduces potentialconflict over dust and noise

• Protects the safety ofcivilians

• Provides security
