Aloha Governor Lingle and all others concerned about our public health in Hawaii,

We need immediate action to stop any "Prescribed Burns" of Scofield and any other live-fire training ranges in Hawaii. Prescribed burns must not happen it is a tremenous public health hazard to all people downwind! The Army's SEIS confirms the presence of DU Chapter 3 page 7

The Stryker Brigade SEIS is published. See http://www.sbct-seis.org/

"Forty-five separate locations showed Gamma levels higher than background. In total nine samples were collected (six soil samples and three fragments). Laboratory analysis indicated that three soil samples exhibited uranium-238 above background levels. Additionally, spectroscopy analyses confirmed that the three fragments collected are comprised of DU."

Pass this forward and please respond.

The military said they never used depleted uranium in Hawai'i, but this turned out not to be true.

Now they will begin testing for DU radiation at all training ranges next month, but residents have no faith in their results.

Rep. Josh Green asked the governor that Dr. Lorrin Pang, a public health official, be a party to the monitoring process as overseer to make the public feel assured.

Tad Davis, deputy assistant secretary of the Army for environment, safety and occupational health said, "I think we'd defer to the state on that; my inclination is to take very seriously a request from the state to that effect."

Call the governor. Ask her to appoint someone residents trust: We want Dr. Pang to monitor the monitors.
