DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Department of the Navy, DoD

Notice of Public Hearing for the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for the Outfall Replacement for

Wastewater Treatment Plant at Fort

Kamehameha, Pearl Harbor, Oahu,

Hawaii

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as implemented by

the Council on Environmental Quality

regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508),

the Department of the Navy (Navy) has

prepared and filed with the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency a

DEIS for the outfall replacement for

Wastewater Treatment Plant at Fort

Kamehameha, Pearl Harbor, Oahu,

Hawaii.

The Navy proposes to construct a new

concrete pipeline, 2.4 miles long and 42

inches in diameter, into open coastal

waters to replace the existing outfall for

effluent discharge from the Public

Works Center, Pearl Harbor Wastewater

Treatment Plant (WWTP). The present

outfall discharges into the Pearl Harbor

Estuary, which is classified Water

Quality Limited Segment (WQLS) by the

State of Hawaii. The classification limits

the discharge of municipal and

industrial wastewater effluents. The

proposed action is needed to eliminate

the discharge to the WQLS and

associated future permit limitations and

violations.

A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare

the DEIS was published in the Federal

Register on September 11, 1996. Two

public scoping meetings were held on

Oahu: (1) Honolulu: October 1, 1996,

7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Washington

Intermediate School, 1633 South King

Street and (2) Pearl Harbor: October 2,

1996, 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., Makalapa

Elementary School, 4435 Salt Lake

Boulevard.

The DEIS analyzes reasonable

alternatives to the proposed action, such

as upland disposal of treated effluent by

subsurface injection, reclamation of

effluent for reuse, and ‘‘no action’’

alternative. Based on analysis of the

alternatives, the proposed action with

appropriate mitigation has been

presented to be the environmentally

preferred alternative.

No decision on the proposed action

will be made until the NEPA process

has been completed.

The DEIS has been distributed to

various federal, state and local agencies,

local groups, elected officials, special

interest groups and individuals. The

DEIS is also available for review at local

libraries as follows: Hawaii State Main

Library, Salt Lake Moanalua Public

Library, Aiea Public Library, Pearl City

Public Library and Ewa Beach Public

School Library, all of which are situated

in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor.

ADDRESSES: The Navy will conduct a

public hearing to receive oral and

written comments concerning the DEIS

on Wednesday, December 17, 1997,

from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., at the

Radford High School Cafeteria, 4361

Salt Lake Boulevard, Honolulu.

A brief presentation will precede a

request for public information and

comments. Navy representatives will be

available at the hearing to receive

information and comments from

agencies and the public regarding issues

of concern. Federal, state and local

agencies and interested individuals are

invited to be present or represented at

the hearing. Oral comments will be

heard and transcribed by a

stenographer. To assure accuracy of the

record, all comments should be

submitted in writing. Both oral and

written statements will become part of

the public record for this study. In the

interest of available time, each speaker

will be asked to limit oral comments to

five minutes. Longer comments should

be summarized at the public hearing

and submitted in writing either at the

hearing or mailed to the address below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Please provide written comments by

January 9, 1998, to Mr. Gary Kasaoka,
