Army Asking For Public Input On Makua Archaeological Survey

The U.S. Army is seeking public comment over the summer on an archaeological subsurface survey that it conducted at Makua Military Reservation.

It has completed the archaeological subsurface survey in compliance with an order by the Federal District Court issued June 20, 2012.

The community can view or download it at garrison.hawaii.army.mil/makua.

(Click on “2014 Archaeological Subsurface Survey” on the left side of the page.)

The survey report also is available at the Wahiawa, Waialua, Waianae and Kapolei libraries, under the title “Archaeological Subsurface Survey in Areas B through F at Makua Military Reservation, Makua Ahupuaa Waianae District, Oahu Island, Hawaii.”
