Hawaii rejects Army's environmental report for Pōhakuloa training site, citing insufficient data on impacts.

The Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources rejected the U.S. Army's environmental impact statement for the Pōhakuloa Training Area, citing inadequate information on environmental impacts. This decision does not affect the Army's $1 lease, set to expire in 2029, or its right to conduct live-fire training. The rejection follows public concerns over environmental and cultural impacts, despite the Army's claims of the area's importance for national defense.
