RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS) In the downtown Honolulu area, detailed site investigations are required prior to the design and construction of high-rise buildings and other engineering structures. Hence, over the years, numerous soil borings, environmental assessments, and groundwater measurements have been conducted. As a result, much data on the subsurface geology of downtown Honolulu exists, but it is spread out among individual consulting firms and various governmental agencies. The purpose ofthis study is to compile the existing data and interpret the subsurface geology, engineering geology, hydrogeology, and environmental problems within the downtown Honolulu area. This study commenced with collecting and interpreting data from 2,276 soil boring logs from consulting firms in Honolulu, along with data from the Groundwater Index database and environmental databases maintained by the State ofHawaii. The subsurface materials are classified into nine categories: fill, lagoonal (low-energy)deposits, alluvial deposits, coralline debris, coral ledges, cinders, tuff, basalt, and residual soil or weathered volcanics.

  • The USS Arizona Memorial
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial Remembering Pearl Harbor: The USS Arizona Memorial (National Park Service Photo by Jayme Pastoric) Today the battle-scarred, submerged remains of the battleship USS Arizona rest on the silt of Pearl Harbor, just as they settled on December 7, 1941. The ship was one of many casualties from the deadly attack by the Japanese on a quiet Sunday that President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy." The Arizona's burning bridge and listing mast and superstructure were photographed in the aftermath of the Japanese attack, and news of her sinking was emblazoned on the front page of newspapers across the land. The photograph symbolized the destruction of the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the start of a war that was to take many thousands of American lives. Indelibly impressed into the national memory, the image could be recalled by most Americans when they heard the battle cry, "Remember Pearl Harbor." More than a million people visit the USS Arizona Memorial each year. They file quietly through the building and toss flower wreaths and leis into the water. They watch the iridescent slick of oil that still leaks, a drop at a time, from ruptured bunkers after more than 50 years at the bottom of the sea, and they read the names of the dead carved in marble on the Memorial's walls.

  • Downtown & Kalihi Draft TOD Framework Plans
    Downtown & Kalihi Draft TOD Framework Plans February 2012 The framework plans, consisting of diagrams that are summarized here, will provide the fun- damental framework for development of the Downtown and Kalihi Neighborhood Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) Plans, which will guide development over the next 25 years. The plans synthesize feedback on the Emerging Vision articulated during the October 2011 workshops and advisory committee meetings. Community review and endorsement of the framework plans will provide direction for development of more detailed policies and stand- ards. Attached to this memo are the following maps and graphics: DOWNTOWN TOD PLANNING AREA FIGURES x Figure 1: Concept describes the vision for the Downtown TOD Planning Area, including generalized land uses, with Downtown Honolulu shown as the region’s premier employ- ment center, a revitalized Aloha Tower complex, a vibrant, historic Chinatown, and a new high intensity mixed-used Iwilei district as an extension of Downtown and transition to Kalihi. An accessible and activated waterfront, featuring a promenade that links uses and stations and improving pedestrian and bicycle circulation. x Figure 2: Existing Land Use illustrates existing land use in the Planning Area and is shown for comparison purposes. x Figure 3: Framework Plan Land Use illustrates proposed land use designations, which are defined in the following section in Table 1. The Downtown and Chinatown stations maintain mixed use designations, but the Iwilei station is transformed from its current in- dustrial mixed use designation (which only permits incidental residential uses) to a new “Urban Mixed Use” designation which permits a wider range of uses, such as medium- and high-density residential, retail and office.

  • The Weeping Monument: a Pre and Post Depositional Site
    THE WEEPING MONUMENT: A PRE AND POST DEPOSITIONAL SITE FORMATION STUDY OF THE USS ARIZONA by Valerie Rissel April, 2012 Director of Thesis: Dr. Brad Rodgers Major Department: Program in Maritime History and Archaeology Since its loss on December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona has been slowly leaking over 9 liters of oil per day. This issue has brought about conversations regarding the stability of the wreck, and the possibility of defueling the 500,000 to 600,000 gallons that are likely residing within the wreck. Because of the importance of the wreck site, a decision either way is one which should be carefully researched before any significant changes occur. This research would have to include not only the ship and its deterioration, but also the oil’s effects on the environment. This thesis combines the historical and current data regarding the USS Arizona with case studies of similar situations so a clearer picture of the future of the ship can be obtained.

    EDINA VETERANS MEMORIAL A LASTING TRIBUTE EDINA, MINNESOTA 2015 [REVISED 2018] EDINA VETERANS MEMORIAL A LASTING TRIBUTE REMEMBERING THE COMMITMENT AND SACRIFICES OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED – AND THE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTED THEM APPRECIATING THE COMMITMENT AND SACRIFICES OF THOSE WHO ARE SERVING AND THOSE WHO WILL SERVE – AND THE FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORT THEM Researched and Written by Marshall Schwartz This document was prepared as part of the Edina, Minnesota Veterans Memorial Project. Copyright © 2017 by the Edina Historical Society. All rights reserved by the Edina Historical Society. PREAMBLE The Edina Veterans Memorial was still a work in progress when “Edina Veterans Memorial – A Companion Reader” was released in 2012. This new account, “Edina Veterans Memorial – A Lasting Tribute”, extends past the celebratory memorial envisioned in 2012, to the lasting memorial that now stands so serenely amidst the trees in Utley Park. EDINA’S LEGACY OF PATRIOTIC SERVICE Patriotic service and community support for men and women in uniform are deeply imbedded into the fabric of Edina’s rich history. Thousands of its citizens have honorably served in the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force or wartime Merchant Marine over the years. They did not do so alone. Behind each son or daughter in uniform were a loving family, caring friends, and a grateful community. Attracted by the excellent schools, parks, and other quality-of-life attributes, many other veterans took up residence – and continue to do so – in Edina after having served. Data derived from the most recent (2010) U.S. Census shows nearly one in seven (13.9%) of Edina’s adult men and women residents at that time had served in the military.

Present Use/Historic Use: Bridge Architectural Description: Integrity: This bridge is a five-span, reinforced-concrete, tee-beam deck- Integrity appears high, parapets and stanchions are unaltered. girder bridge, about 113' in length. It was built for the City & County of Honolulu, under the tenure of Bureau Engineer D. Balch and design engineer George Dawson. Its concete parapets are pierced to form balustrades with arched-topped vertically oriented openings. This arched-top design pattern for balustrades was a standardized pattern of Territorial Highway Department bridges of this period. The balustrades of this bridge are divided by four regularly spaced stanchions that have thick rectangular tops with a very-low-slope hipped cap. The face of each stanchion has a recessed rectangular panel with a raised pyramidal design. The end stanchions are similar but slightly larger with flat panels that are inscribed "Kapalama Canal" and on the opposite stanchion, "1930." There are 10' sidewalks on both sides of the bridge.
