My name is Susann Hansen and I strongly urge you to support Resolution 234-25.
D,:
US military training at Pohakuloa has already caused serious harm -burning nearlyZ),000�
acres, contaminating the land, and threatening endangered species as well as cultural sites
and resources. Beneath this area lies a major aquifer that supplies freshwater to Hawaii
Island, and the military's track record shows they are not equipped to protect it.
There is also serious concern about depleted uranium left in the soil, which can become
airborne during exercises and has known health risks.
Pohakuloa is a wahi pana- a sacred place with deep cultural and ecological significance.
Continued military use is incompatible with its conservation status and the values of aloha
ria.
Please support this resolution to protect the land, water, and people of Hawaii.
Mahalo,
Susan Hansen - Lahaina
Comm. Q.s2al.
