Council Testimony
Support Res. 234-25
I strongly support this resolution.US Military training at P6hakuloa has already caused serious
harm -burning nearly 20,000 acres, contaminating the land, and threatening endangered species.
Beneath this area lies a major aquifer that supplies fresh water 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.P6hakuloa 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'aina.Please support this resolution to protect the land, water, and people of
Hawai'i.Mahalo,
Jodie Tonita
