Question on transparency of live rounds fired and toxins at Pohakuloa Training Area

April 22, 2023 Earth Day

Aloha Sgt. Major Cho,

Happy Earth Day!

You were quoted in the Hawaii Tribune-Herald 4/21/23 about the “importance of transparency.”

In the interest of transparency, please tell me the current number of live rounds fired annually at PTA and list all the various weapon systems fired at PTA. The last available figure I recall was 14.8 million live rounds fired annually at PTA.  I believe that was back in 2003 in the Stryker EIS.  I haven’t seen any figures since.  Please let me know where these figures are available for the years since 2003.  It would also be good to know all of the various toxins and the quantities dispersed at PTA over the 75 years of bombing and shelling the ‘aina at the 133,000 acre Pohakuloa Training Area.  Things like lead, depleted uranium, perchlorate, white phosphous, PFAS, etc.

Mahalo for your prompt response.

Jim Albertini, president of Malu ‘Aina
