There are a number ofland use decisions and developments that can greatly affect the safety of the airport zones and flight patterns. Some of these include reflective surfaces Qike building facades and solar panels), zip lines, communications towers, wind turbines, other structure nearing 200 feet or higher, and wildlife habitats. As directed by the Airport Division, we should be looking for any ofthe above mentioned hazards that are proposed within 5 miles of an airport. Our GIS staffwill be adding a layer into the GIS system noting this 5 mile radius. lf we receive an application with a questionable hazard, we should report it to the HOOT Airport Division and require the applicant to provide a letter of no effect or approval with conditions from that division. Reflective surfaces and tower like structures are relatively easy to identi1Y, but wildlife habitats may DOt be as obvious.

    Federal Aviation Administration Office of Airports Compliance and Management Analysis Revenue Use Compliance Review State of Hawaii Department of Transportation Airports Division For the Six Year Period of July 1, 2007 – June 30, 2013 1 State of Hawaii Department of Transportation – Airports Division Revenue Use Review of Selected Airports The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Airport Compliance and Management Analysis (ACO) conducted a Revenue Use Compliance Review of the State of Hawaii’s Department of Transportation – Airports Division (DOTA) to evaluate compliance with the FAA Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue (Revenue Use Policy) for the period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2013. The FAA and its contractor conducted this review at the DOTA offices in Honolulu, Hawaii and outlying islands. The State of Hawaii owns, operates, and sponsors the airport system, which consists of fifteen airports operating under the jurisdiction of DOTA. DOTA is composed of five administrative staff offices (Staff Services, Visitor Information Program, Information Technology, Engineering, and Airports Operations) providing services to all of the state airports within four District Offices. The four districts and airports within the assigned district are: • Oahu District o Honolulu International Airport (HNL) o Kalaeloa Airport (JRF) o Dillingham Airfield (HDH) • Maui District o Hana Airport (HNM) o Kalaupapa Airport (LUP) o Kahului Airport (OGG) o Kapalua Airport (JHM) o Lanai Airport (LNY) o Molokai Airport (MKK) • Hawaii District o Kona International Airport (KOA) o Hilo International Airport (ITO) o Upolu Airport (UPP) o Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUE) • Kauai District o Lihue Airport (LIH) o Port Allen Airport (PAK) ACO selected a sample of five airports for ACO’s review of airport compliance with the Revenue Use Policy.

  • Testimony of the Department of the Attorney General Thirty-First Legislature, 2021 on the Following Measure: S.B. No. 1368
    TESTIMONY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THIRTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE, 2021 ON THE FOLLOWING MEASURE: S.B. NO. 1368, RELATING TO AIRFIELDS. BEFORE THE: SENATE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION DATE: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 TIME: 3:00 p.m. LOCATION: State Capitol, Room 224, Via Videoconference TESTIFIER(S): Clare E. Connors, Attorney General or Marjorie Lau, Deputy Attorney General Chair Lee and Members of the Committee: The Department of the Attorney General has the following comments on this bill. This bill prohibits the eviction of the tenants of the Kawaihapai Airfield who are in good standing until the expiration of the current lease that the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) has with the U.S. Army, which lease has an expiration date of July 5, 2024 (the “Kawaihapai Lease”), provided that the tenants remain in good standing. Prohibiting the eviction of tenants of the Kawaihapai Airfield may be deemed to be special legislation, in violation of article XI, section 5, of the Hawaiʻi Constitution. Article XI, section 5, of the Hawai‘i Constitution provides: The legislative power over the lands owned by or under the control of the State and its political subdivisions shall be exercised only by general laws, except in respect to transfers to or for the use of the State, or a political subdivision, or any department or agency thereof. Because the bill is clearly an attempt to exercise legislative power over lands owned or under the control of the State, the next issue is whether this bill, if passed, would be a general law or a special law.

  • RCED-83-98 Potential Joint Civil and Military Use of Military Airfields
    I 3 @gT73f; ‘ii THECOMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THEUNITED STATES Potential Joint Civil And Military Use Of Military Airfields GAO’s evaluation of joint civilian and military use of military airfields shows the concept to be feasible. Currently, 23 military airfields are operating under joint use agreements. Whether joint use can be expanded to other military airfields depends on over- coming problems unique to each airfield and on the full cooperation of the military and civilian parties involved. Some of the problems are --military concerns about impacts on mission, operations, and/or security; --lack of available land to house civilian operations; and --lack of support by a civilian sponsor resulting from community opposition or the lack of a real need for joint use of the airfield. The Congress directed the Secretaries of Defense and Transportation to submit a plan by September 1983 for making domestic military airfields avail- able for joint military and civilian use. GAO recommends action the Secretaries should take in developing this plan. 120738 GAO/RCED-83-88 MARCH 1,1983 Request for copies of GAO reports should be sent to: U.S. General Accounting Office Document Handling and Information Services Facility P.O. Box 6015 Gaithersburg, Md. 20760 Telephone (202) 2756241 The first five copies of individual reports are free of charge. Additional copies of bound audit reports are $3.25 each. Additional copies of unbound report (i.e., letter reports) and most other publications are $1.00 each. There will be a 25% discount on all orders for 100 or more copies mailed to a single address.

  • Mokuleia Army Air Field and Military Reservation, World War Ii History
    MOKULEIA ARMY AIR FIELD AND MILITARY RESERVATION, WORLD WAR II HISTORY John D. Bennett Mokuleia Army Air Field (AAF) and Military Reservation (MR) were located in the Kawaihāpai Ahupua’a (ancient Hawaiian land division) of the District of Waialua on O’ahu’s North Shore. It was established as the Kawaihapai MR between 1925 to 1927 as a bivouac, and artillery firing point for army units stationed at Schofield Barracks and at Coast Artillery forts on O’ahu.1 General coordinates are: 21.578433°N - 158.200834°W courtesy of “Google Earth” ©2010 Google™ including other coordinates and linear measurements mentioned in this essay. The original reservation consisted of 67 acres built along the Oahu Railway and Land Company main line to Kahuku from Honolulu, an additional 583 acres was officially acquired by the Army in 1946 by means of a “Declaration of Taking” filed in court. Secretary of War, Robert P. Patterson signed the legal instrument in 1946 which stated that the land of Mokulēia, Aku’u, Kawaihāpai, Keālia, and Ka’ena, Waialua, O’ahu, Territory of Hawaii; Mokulēia Ranch and Land Company, et al. “is taken…to provide for a military airfield, an ordnance storage area, and related military purposes incident thereto.
