NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) announces the availability of the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) for proposed renovations of the electrical utility system for Air Station Barbers Point (ASBP), including installation of a transmission distribution system in the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation right-of-way. The action is needed to respond to the Navy’s planned disposition of the existing system that is past its life expectancy. The Final EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act after a 30-day public comment period from February 8, 2019, to March 11, 2019, for the Draft EA. The Final EA serves as a concise public document that provides evidence and analysis for determining whether a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or an Environmental Impact Statement should be prepared. Based on the findings in the Final EA, a FONSI has been prepared. The Final EA is available for public review at the Kapolei Public Library (1020 Manawai Street), Ewa Beach Public & School Library (91-950 North Road), and on-line at http://oeqc2.doh.hawaii.gov/The_Environmental_Notice/
