FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR
RED HILL WATER TREATMENT FACILITY
JOINT BASE PEARL-HARBOR HICKAM, OAHU

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the United States Department of the Navy (the Navy) gives notice of availability of a Final Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed construction and operation of a new water treatment facility to reconnect water from the Navy's Red Hill Shaft to the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam drinking water system and discontinue the discharge of water into Halawa Stream. The Proposed Action would include the construction of a new, permanent water treatment facility and the associated utilities, infrastructure, and site improvements, as well as the connection of an interim, modified granular activated carbon (GAC) water treatment system that is currently under installation at Red Hill to the Navy drinking water system. Both the permanent water treatment facility and the interim water treatment system would treat water from the Red Hill Shaft to meet National Primary Drinking Water Regulations and State of Hawaii Department of Health Safe Drinking Water Standards. The proposed project is consistent with the Navy's commitment to carry out long-term actions agreed upon by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Hawaii Department of Health, and the Navy in the January 2022 Red Hill Shaft Recovery and Monitoring Plan. The Navy has determined that the project would result in less than significant impacts on the quality of the human or natural environment. The Final EA provides analyses of the environmental consequences of the action.

The Final EA and FONSI are available for public review and download at the following website: https://pacific.navfac.navy.mil/About-Us/National-Environmental-Policy-Act-NEPA-Information/. Hard copies of the Final EA are available for review at the Aiea Public Library and the Hawaii State Public Library.

For additional information, please contact: ATTN: Red Hill Water Treatment Facility EA Project Manager, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Hawaii/EV21, Building 55, 400 Marshall Road, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI 96860-3139.
