I learned to row on the lake, which led to a successful collegiate career rowing at Western. The lake is a focal point of the Vancouver community and should be restored. The lake is severely polluted, whether by point-sources or non-point sources, and we must take action to clean it up and restore it for future generations. It has been this way for years, but that doesn"t mean we can"t do something about it now.

Very few of the jobs will come into the community with this proposed project and even fewer jobs would be filled by local residents.

Also, we have a settler's historic cemetery in Smithville which is maintained by my husband and several others of the Bensonville Community Church board. Please don't have the alignment affect this historical site.

Protection of our Environment:
* The Army admits to harming the land and environment in the Draft EIS. The Army admits there will be "significant adverse impacts" on land use (land tenure) and environmental justice with the retention of any lands at ...↓Kahuku, Poamoho, and Mākua.
* The Army does not commit to clean up these lands until after the EIS is finalized, and vague terms in the 1964 leases do not require future clean up actions.
* The U.S. military has never returned Hawaiian lands in any usable state.
* The lands in Mākua, Poamoho, and Kahuku are home to dozens of endangered organisms found nowhere else in the world.
* The Draft EIS underestimates the impact of noise and other training activities on native species, providing insufficient evidence for its conclusions.

Kānaka Maoli Self-Determination:
* Kānaka Maoli never relinquished their rights to these lands and their sovereignty over them was never extinguished.
* The Admissions Act (a federal law) set aside these stolen lands to be held in a public trust for five purposes including the betterment of the conditions of native Hawaiians as defined in the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920.
* These Hawaiian Kingdom Crown and government lands were taken without consent or compensation.
* These leases were awarded to the U.S. Army for only $1 for 65 years, no where near fair and just compensation.

Transparency and Cultural Access:
* There hasn't been full disclosure of military activities on leased lands and adjacent federal lands.
* The Army's restrictive cultural access policies hinder Kānaka Maoli cultural practices and access to numerous historical and sacred sites at these "training areas."
* The DEIS fails to address long-term impacts of limited cultural access to these lands.
* The DEIS minimizes the impact on cultural practices and historic sites, focusing only on state lands, and not considering the broader cultural and historical context

Housing:
* The presence of military personnel exacerbates housing competition, decreasing the availability of affordable housing and impacting local residents, adversely impacting local residents and contributing to the displacement of Kānaka Maoli.
* The DEIS does not assess the impact of continued military operations on an island already facing a housing crisis.

Climate Change & Water:
* The DEIS fails to address the cumulative effects of military training on both state and federal lands. Hazardous substances on federal lands pose a risk to state lands and surrounding communities.
* The Army's cleanup commitments are limited by economic feasibility which may leave contamination unaddressed.

Given that military use of these lands tends to negatively impact the ʻāina, I'm strongly against any lease renewals of public lands to the military. They have not proven to be responsible stewards of the land.

Aloha, my name is xxxxxx, and I reside in xxxxx. I am writing in opposition to the Army's Proposed Action to continue their retention of approximately 22,750 acres of State-leased lands once the lease expires in 2029, either through a new lease or th...↓rough purchase. I am in full support of the No Action Alternative, under which the State lands will be relinquished back to the State. Below, I outline several key points of concern pertaining to various sections in the draft EIS. 3.3 Biological Resources On July 20th, 2022, the Army inadvertently started a fire in the Impact Area. This fire, referred to as the Leilani Fire, spread across 17,712 acres. 12,458 of these acres were outside of PTA and included about half of the remaining forest of the Puʻu Anahulu Game Management Area. The remaining 5,254 acres (which includes 2,880 acres of State-owned land) encompassed threatened and endangered species habitat areas within the training area. As described in the EIS, post-fire assessment determined a net decline of four endangered plant species, as well as destruction to potential habitat of ʻōpeʻapeʻa (Hawaiian hoary bat, Aeorestes semotus). It is important to note that this fire surpassed both annual and cumulative allowances for authorized incidental take of ʻōpeʻapeʻa roosting habitat. This fire is one of many that the Army has caused over the years, with an average of 37 fires occurring at PTA annually. These fires result in catastrophic damage to our native flora and fauna and threaten the safety of human communities. Within the ~22,750 acres of State-owned land reside numerous endemic and indigenous plants and animals. Some of these species are only found within the Pōhakuloa region and are critically endangered. The landscape of Pōhakuloa is a unique region that once consisted of even more lifeforms than what we see today. As long as the Army retains control of the State-owned lands, native species are under threat of continued mismanagement and negligence. All of PTA is classified as conservation district under the State's 1961 Land Use Law. It would therefore stand to reason that a future lease agreement or purchase from the State would be unlawful, since military activity on conservation land is not legal. 3.4 Historic and Cultural Resources and Cultural Practices It is important to note that the entirety of the Pōhakuloa region is a culturally significant entity. This landscape holds importance as a region long utilized by Kānaka ʻŌiwi for the acquisition of natural resources, for ceremonial conduct, and for safe passage between various moku and ahupuaʻa, among other activities. Were it not for Army occupation, this ʻāina would still be enjoyed as a safe locale to conduct cultural practices. Dozens of archaeological sites exist within the State-owned lands. Like the biological organisms mentioned above, these features are at risk from continued Army activities. 3.5 Hazardous Substances and Hazardous Wastes Numerous metals and chemicals are listed in 3.5.4.3, such as lead, copper, and antimony. The BAX V-10 was constructed only 13 years ago and already contains dangerous levels of these metals. I worry that these will break down over time and make their way downslope as airborne particulates, or infiltrate our watershed. It is also admitted that future cleanup efforts may include "emerging contaminants" that are as yet unknown, which is unsettling. Throughout the EIS, there are inconsistencies in reference to cleanup of the State-leased lands. In some sections of the EIS, cleanup (and even reforestation) are written about as a matter-of-fact action; in others, cleanup is referred to in less certain terms. This is concerning, as cleanup should be a top priority. 3.6 Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases and 3.8 Geology, Topography, and Soils Communities adjacent to and downwind from PTA are concerned about airborne contaminants, as per the previous section. Additionally, continued military activity and detrimental effects due to wildfires contribute to the exposure of soils, leading to erosion. During windy days, dirt is kicked up and carried miles from its source point, leading to poor air quality and unhealthy conditions. 3.9 Water Resources The Pōhakuloa region is a vital watershed. As stated in the draft EIS, "the uniqueness [of this groundwater] is 'irreplaceable'; and the vulnerability to contamination is classified as 'High.'" Given the potential pollutants listed in section 3.5, I am concerned that these and other pollutants could infiltrate the aquifer. While the groundwater at Pōhakuloa is not directly consumed, all water within our porous, volcanic island is interconnected, eventually reaching water sources that are consumed as well as flowing out to the sea. Lead is a particular concern, as no amount of lead is safe for biological consumption. As stated in section 3.5, "Lead is the primary COC from small caliber munitions." The draft EIS further states that the use of military munitions pose a potential threat to soil and groundwater quality. The draft EIS mentions that soldiers are required to collect spent casings, but bullet casings are known to litter the landscape. 3.11 Environmental Justice If the Army is serious about involving people in having agency over the decision-making process, then they need to listen to voices saying they need to vacate this land. As stated in the EIS "... generations of Hawaiians [are] experiencing military culture and land uses that do not align with traditional cultural values." It does not matter how much discourse the Army engages in with the public, or how much money is put towards natural resource management; at the end of the day, the Army is an instrument of war, and training activities will result in future damages regardless of so-called mitigation efforts. There is no justice to be found when ʻāina is treated with such carelessness. 3.16 Human Health and Safety I am concerned about health impacts due to Army activity. UXO remain a threat both within the State-leased lands and elsewhere. Contaminants, poor air quality, and wildfires mentioned previously all have the potential to cause serious health issues within our communities. There is no clear evidence suggesting that Army activity is having no negative impact on human health. Concluding Thoughts In conclusion, I support the No Action Alternative by which the State-leased lands will return to the State in 2029. Throughout the second draft EIS, it is made abundantly clear that the No Action Alternative consistently results in significant, beneficial impacts, as opposed to the numerous adverse impacts that would result from Alternative 1. The Army has mistreated the lands of Pōhakuloa, threatening human health and the health of our greater environment. The Army needs to clean up the State-leased lands and return them in better condition. I implore the State to not consider re-leasing these lands or selling these lands to the Army in the future. Mahalo for your time.

Dear Bernice Manuelito, Thank you for the chance to submit comments on the Copper World project's draft aquifer-protection permit. I’m concerned that the plan design proposed in Hudbay Minerals’ application is significantly less protective of Ariz...↓ona’s public health, environment and groundwater than the designs submitted by the previous owners of the Rosemont Mine. Hudbay Minerals’ application proposes to use water to convey tailings in a slurry pipeline, operate an unlined tailings facility, leave waste-rock dumps uncovered at closure, and deploy inadequate monitoring systems. The planned processing facilities, including a heap leach for processing significant amounts of acid, will be much closer to Tucson and Sahuarita’s municipal water supplies and rural domestic wells than previously suggested. The current draft permit proposed by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality appears to be dangerously indulgent of the polluter at the expense of people and the environment. That’s unacceptable. So I request that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality protects the state’s water and public health by including the following stringent requirements in the aquifer-protection permit: 1. Hudbay Minerals must complete an economic and practical evaluation of tailings-storage facilities alternatives, including a lined and dry-stacked facility, among other potential redesigns. 2. Hudbay Minerals must include the entire east pit and the headwaters of small streams near the Broadtop Butte and Copper World pits in the Pollutant Management Area for Copper World’s Phase 1, which will provide the best chance of detecting contaminants. 3. Hudbay Minerals must establish two additional point-of-compliance wells to ensure that the east-side aquifer isn’t impaired by operations at the east pit. 4. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality must define a minimum frequency of waste-rock acid content analysis for continued operations following the first year. 5. Hudbay Minerals must submit to biannual rather than biennial monitoring of the expanded list of parameters listed in Table 20 in the APP — which will aid in detection of pollutants that may otherwise go undetected for too long and delay an investigation into the pollution and the implementation of a remedy. Finally, I request better deployment of industry-standard technologies by Hudbay Minerals for minimizing pollution, and I ask that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality require the additional permit conditions, requirements and agency reviews detailed in the technical comments submitted by Pima County staff to your agency on March 11, 2024. Sincerely, Dawn Dyer AZ 86005-3701
