Summary (Provide proposed action and purpose/need in less than 200 words. Please keep the summary brief and on this one page): The 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and Army National Guard, Hawaii, propose to construct four aviation landing zones (LZs), and associated trails, for training use at the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA) on the island of Hawaii. The LZs would provide locations that allow pilots and troops to be trained to proficiency in austere environmental conditions above 8,000 ft (2,438 m) to meet the proficiency requirements found in USARPAC 350-1-7, “Proponent and Additional Training Program.” Existing PTA LZs do not provide these conditions or training opportunities. The action being proposed does not involve the acquisition of additional land, training outside of the current installation boundary, or live-fire exercises conducted outside the approved/existing PTA impact area. Additionally, no increase in training flights is being proposed under the Proposed Action or Action Alternatives. It is estimated that approximately 10% of current training flights occurring at PTA would use the new LZs once they are constructed. The estimated duration of the construction period for the longest of the Action Alternatives, the Proposed Action, is 40 days. Based on the information analyzed in the EA, the USAG-HI finds that the Proposed Action would not result in any significant direct, indirect, or cumulative adverse impacts on the natural or human environment, and has prepared a draft finding of no significant impact (FNSI). An environmental impact statement will not be required for this project. A Notice of Availability of the 30-day public comment period for the EA and draft FNSI was published in the West Hawaii Today and Hawaii Tribune Herald newspapers on December 19, and 21, 2013. The public comment period began on December 19, 2013, and will run until January 18, 2014. Copies of the EA and Draft FNSI are available for review at the Hilo Public Library, Kailua-Kona Public Library, and Thelma Parker Memorial Public and School Library. Copies can also be obtained by contacting Dale Kanehisa at 808-656- 5670 or [email protected]. The EA and draft FNSI can also be access online at http://www.garrison.hawaii.army.mil/NEPA/NEPA.htm. 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and Army National Guard, Hawai‘i Aviation Landing Zones Environmental Assessment December 19, 2013 Prepared for: Department of the Army Hawai‘i Army National Guard 25th Combat Aviation Brigade 3949 Diamond Head Road Schofield Barracks, HI 96857 Honolulu, HI 96816 Prepared by: Portage, Inc. 1075 S. Utah Ave., Suite 200 Idaho Falls, ID 83402 (208) 528-6608 Prepared with assistance from: United States Army Garrison – Hawai‘i Department of Public Works Environmental Division 948 Santos Dumont Ave. Wheeler Army Airfield, Bldg. 105 Schofield Barracks, HI 96857 and United States Army Pacific Mission Support Element, Range Division Beaver Road Schofield Barracks, Bldg. 1150 Schofield Barracks, HI 96857 Draft Finding of No Significant Impact for 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and Army National Guard, Hawai‘i Aviation Landing Zones at Pōhakuloa Training Area PROPOSED ACTION Military helicopter pilots need to train on varied terrain, under diverse conditions, and at multiple altitudes. This includes austere (i.e., harsh, severe) environments such as mountainous terrain with its associated high wind, turbulence, and atmospheric instability. Pilots need to understand how differing conditions affect the flight performance and handling characteristics of helicopters. The Proposed Action is to construct four aviation landing zones (LZs) for training within the boundaries of the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA) on the island of Hawai‘i. These LZs would be used in conjunction with regularly scheduled training exercises at PTA. Training hours would not be increased under the Proposed Action. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide additional aviation LZs at PTA above 8,000 ft (2,438 m) for training use by military aviation units, including the Hawai‘i Army National Guard (HIARNG) and the U.S. Army Garrison, Hawai‘i (USAG-HI) 25th Infantry Division – 25th Army Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) to meet the proficiency requirements found in USARPAC 350-1-7, “Proponent and Additional Training Program.” The need for the Proposed Action is to ready military aviation units to successfully complete their missions. The USAG-HI and the HIARNG co-prepared an EA, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and Army National Guard, Hawai‘i, Aviation Landing Zones Environmental Assessment, to publicly disclose the results of an environmental impact analysis to construct aviation LZs for training use at the PTA. The action being proposed does not involve the acquisition of additional land, training outside of the current installation boundary, or live-fire exercises conducted outside of the approved/existing PTA impact area. ALTERNATIVES The four additional LZs, an access trail (also known as the Pioneer Trail), and a trail linking the four LZs would be constructed on the northern slope of Mauna Loa, within the southern PTA boundary. Construction duration for the Proposed Action is estimated to be 40 days. The LZs, access trail, and trail linking the LZs would be constructed by leveling the substrate using heavy equipment, including bulldozers, graders and excavators. The LZs would differ in size to enable various helicopters to conduct a variety of flight and landing maneuvers of varying complexity. The LZs would be located at elevations from 8,520 to 8,800 ft (2,597 to 2,682 m) and are approximately 1.2 to 1.7 mi (1.9 to 2.7 km) apart. On one of the LZs, a pinnacle feature approximately 35 × 20 ft (11 × 6 m) and 15 ft (4.6 m) tall would be constructed to provide additional training opportunities. Flights would originate at Bradshaw Army Airfield and proceed by any permissible flight path and altitude within PTA’s airspace and perimeter to any of the proposed LZs. Multiple helicopters could be in the air and/or conducting maneuvers simultaneously, if pilots maintain a distance of at least 328 ft (100 m) from each other. Approximately 10% of PTA’s current total flight hours would be spent at the proposed LZs. The Proposed Action would include flight maneuvers, landing maneuvers, and troop activities conducted under the CAB and HIARNG’s training schedules. The Proposed Action is the USAG-HI’s and HIARNG’s preferred alternative, because the additional LZs would provide training opportunities under austere, mountainous flight and landing conditions, which are often encountered in theater but not available as training areas elsewhere on PTA. ALTERNATIVES In addition to the preferred alternative, five alternatives were fully evaluated in the EA: 1 Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) for Aviation Landing Zones December 2013 Alternative 1 – Proposed Action but with an Alternate Trail Location. This alternative is the same as the proposed alternative, except for the location of the access trail. The alternative trail runs parallel to, but east of, the Pioneer Trail. Alternative 2 – Construction of Only One LZ. This alternative includes the access trail and one LZ. Alternative 3 – Construction of Only Two LZs. This alternative includes the access trail, two LZs, and the trail that links the two LZs. Alternative 4 – Construction of Only Three LZs. This alternative includes the access trail, three LZs, and the trail that links the three LZs. No Action Alternative. This alternative would not meet the purpose and need, because the LZs would not be constructed or used; however, the No Action Alternative is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to be fully considered and serve as the baseline with which to compare the Action Alternatives. Other alternatives considered but not studied in detail as they would not meet the purpose and need for the Proposed Action include constructing LZs without trail construction, using LZs without leveling the substrate, locating LZs at other locations within PTA, and training exclusively with simulators. SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS The EA, which is incorporated by reference into this Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI), analyzed the potential effects of the proposed action and alternatives. Complete environment impact discussions for all resources are found in Sections 4, 5, and 6 (Conclusions) of the EA. A summary of the more notable less-than-significant impact findings follow. Air Quality Based on air quality modeling, the maximum concentration of fugitive dust generated from construction and operations activities result in values below the state and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emission thresholds. Biological Resources Potential habitat for food and cover is limited to all but a few species in the area of the proposed LZs and trails. Impacts to sensitive species from construction activities are anticipated to be low because of the lack of habitat and the implementation of measures to mitigate potential habitat loss and species injury/death. Near the LZs, the potential impact between helicopters and sensitive species is low because of the locations of known bird and bat habitat, the lack of potential habitat near the LZs, established flight procedures, and mitigations to prevent collisions.

PALILA RESTORATION RESEARCH, 1996–2012: SUMMARY AND MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS A palila (Loxioides bailleui) selects a seedpod from a māmane (Sophora chrysophylla) tree high on the western slope of Mauna Kea, Hawai‘i. The palila’s ecology and existence are inextricably linked to green māmane seeds, their critically important food. Chronic shortfalls in the supply of māmane seedpods could lead to the extinction of the palila. Photo by Jack Jeffrey (http://www.jackjeffreyphoto.com/).

  • Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA) Real Property Master Plan (RPMP)
    Draft Finding of No Significant Impact Pōhakuloa Training Area Real Property Master Plan Adoption for Hawai‘i Island, Hawai‘i AUTHORITY Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42 United States Code 4321-4347) (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations for implementing NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500-1508), and the Final Rule on Environmental Analysis of Army Actions (32 CFR Part 651), the United States Army Garrison Hawaii (USAG-HI) gives notice that a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) has been prepared for adoption of the Pōhakuloa Training Area Real Property Master Plan, Hawai‘i Island, Hawai‘i. PROPOSED ACTION The U.S. Army (Army) proposes to adopt the Real Property Master Plan (RPMP) for the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA). The adoption of the RPMP is an administrative action that would not involve new development, ground disturbance, alteration of any real estate, facility or infrastructure, or change in training activities at PTA. The adoption of the PTA RPMP involves senior mission commander endorsement, recommendation by the installation Real Property Planning Board, and approval by the designated staff of the Installation Management Command (a field-operating agency of the Office, Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management). The Proposed Action is independent of the types of training and tempo of range activities taking place at PTA. It is not expected to result in changes to training tempo and intensity at PTA because these conditions are driven by national security threat assessments and the ebb and flow of international affairs. The PEA evaluates the environmental impacts of the RPMP adoption and includes analyses of the no- action alternative.

Palila were confined to the subalpinewoodland on Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii, occurredbetween 2,000 and 2,850 m elevation, and reachedhighest densitieson the southwestslopes. The populationshowed large annual fluctuations,from 6,400 birds in 1981 to 2,000 in 1984. The width of woodland was the most important variable in determin- ing habitat response.Palila were more common in areaswith greater crown cover, taller trees,and a higher proportion of native plants in the understory.Annual variation in Palila density within a habitat reflectedvariation in levels of their staplefood, mamanepods. The main limiting factorsof the population appearedto be the availability of good habitat and levels of their staple food.

Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc. has identified significant historic sites in the vicinity of a proposed trail system and has identified both the potential impacts of trail use on the cultural sites and management strategies to mitigate those impacts. The proposed trail system includes approximately 319 km of trails at high elevations on Hawai‘i Island (fig. 1). The main trail follows the southeast and northwest flanks of Mauna Loa and runs north to Hualalai.¯ Side trails run from Hualalai¯ to Pu‘uanahulu, to Moku‘aweoweo¯ at the summit of Mauna Loa from the north and south, and over the southwest rift of Mauna Loa in two places. A preliminary alignment through Pohakuloa¯ Training Area ends near the base of the steep slopes of Mauna Kea.
