The United States Department of the Navy (Navy) prepared this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS (OEIS) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 United States Code §4321 et seq.); the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations [C.F.R.] §§1500 et seq.); Navy Procedures for Implementing NEPA (32 C.F.R. §775); and Executive Order 12114, Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions. The Navy identified its need to support and conduct current, emerging, and future training and testing activities in the Hawaii-Southern California Study Area, which is made up of air and sea space off Southern California, around the Hawaiian Islands, and the air and sea space connecting them. Three alternatives were analyzed in this EIS/OEIS: The No Action Alternative represents those training and testing activities as set forth in previously completed environmental planning documentation. Alternative 1 includes the training and testing activities addressed in the No Action Alternative, plus an adjustment to the Hawaii study area boundaries and proposed adjustments to types, location, and levels of training and testing activities. Alternative 2 includes all elements of Alternative 1 plus establishes new range capabilities, modifies existing capabilities, and adjusts the type and tempo of training and testing. In this EIS/OEIS, the Navy analyzed potential environmental impacts that result or could result from activities under the No Action Alternative, Alternative 1, and Alternative 2. The resources evaluated include sediments and water quality, air quality, marine habitats, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, marine vegetation, marine invertebrates, fish, cultural resources, socioeconomic resources, and public health and safety.
This edited volume provides a vehicle for the expression of geographical and historical perspectives on the militarisation of East Asia and the Pacific. Among the questions the authors explore are: How have groups and individuals variously enforced, justified, supported, resisted, and acquiesced in military occupation? How have concepts of nationality, identity, and self-determination been shaped, reshaped, and erased by historical processes? How can communities escape from their perceived or actual dependence on centralised loci of power? Chapters draw upon philosophical, theoretical, empirical, and anecdotal evidence. The book is aimed at, inter alia, activists for social justice and researchers in international and strategic relations, colonial and post-colonial studies, Asian, Okinawan, and Pacific island studies, critical theory, and ethics. Contributors to this volume include David Vine, Douglas Lummis, Miyume Tanji, Kyle Kajihiro, chinin usii, Leevin Camacho, Andrew Yeo, Mitzi Uehara Carter, Gwisook Gwon, Christopher Melley, Yukinori Tokuyama, Kiyomi Maedomari-Tokuyama, Nika Nashiro, Chie Miyagi, Makoto Arakaki, Peter Simpson, and Daniel Broudy.
Environmental Impact Statements and Environmental Assessments must be completed for any major action that requires a federal permit. Each federal agency has its own requirements regarding what must appear in the statement. Furthermore, many states and local agencies, such as those in California, the District of Columbia, and the city of Chicago, have their own versions of Environmental Impact Statements that must be done for any proposed construction. This book covers the requirements for a wide variety of Environmental Impact Statements on the federal, state, and local levels. It provides a thorough explanation of Environmental Impact Statements so that personnel responsible for preparing these documents will be able to understand and teach others the fundamentals of the wide range of environmental factors-ecological and socioeconomic-that comprise an Environmental Impact Statement. Environmental Impact Statements is an indispensable book for architectural and engineering firms, industrial firms, and regulatory agencies on all levels. It will also make an important text for instructors and students participating in courses that discuss Environmental Impact Statements and how to complete them.
