The Pacific Missile Range Facility comprises two underwater ranges and an additional underwater detection system. In all, there are some five sets, totalling eleven underwater cables that come ashore on the Facility property along the west coast of Kauai. The near shore portions of these cables are subjected to severe environmental conditions and therefore require frequent inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement. The Chesapeake Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command was tasked to perform much of the work involved in the upkeep of these near shore cables. The project reported herein involved the inspection of all five sets of cables, determining whether any of the cables had moved or suffered damage as a a result of environmental forces, and stabilizing or protecting those cables as necessary to mitigate future movement and deterioration.

This EIS was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Hawaii Revised Statutes, and Executive Order 12114, Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions. Two alternatives-the No-action Alternative and the Proposed Action-were analyzed in this EIS. The No-action Alternative is the continuation of existing range and land-based training and operations; existing research and development test and evaluation; and ongoing base operations and maintenance at PMRF. The Proposed Action, the Preferred Alternative, would result in the continuation of PMRF existing activities and enhancement of the capabilities of PMRF that would allow theater ballistic missile defense (TBMD) testing and training and theater missile defense (TMD) testing. The enhancement would include upgrading existing radar and communications and constructing and operating additional missile launch sites, sensors and instrumentation facilities, and a missile storage magazine. The Proposed Action would also include the revision to an existing restrictive easement for 28 years over State of Hawaii land to allow the U.S. Government to clear a ground hazard area during missile launch activities. The locations where activities would occur are listed in Item d above. This EIS addresses the potential environmental impacts that would result from activities that would occur under the No-action Alternative and Proposed Action. Environmental resource topics evaluated include air quality, airspace, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazardous materials and hazardous waste, health and safety, land use, noise, socioeconomics, transportation, utilities, visual and aesthetics, water resources, the ocean area, and environmental justice. The potential cumulative effects of each of these resources were also evaluated.
