Opponents dominate Stryker environmental review forum


Advertiser reports:
Representatives of the U.S. Army listened to a stream of criticism last night of the Army's proposal to permanently base a Stryker brigade combat team in Hawai'i.
[...]
The hearing drew almost 100 people, nearly all opposed to the Stryker project.
[...]
The three Hawaiian groups called the 'Ilio'ulaokalani Coalition, Na 'Imi Pono and Kipuka filed a lawsuit in 2004 charging that the Stryker project would damage Native Hawaiian cultural sites and harm endangered species and their habitats.

The new draft of the environmental report confirms there would be "significant" impacts on cultural resources, soil erosion, wildfire management and noise.

Star-Bulletin also has an article.

Written public comments may be submitted before the Oct. 30 deadline to PublicComments@aec.apgee.army.mil.
