海军与NASA撤回考艾岛军事设施最终环评:夏威夷州土地须重新走草案与公众评议程序

位于夏威夷州考艾县(Kauai County)考艾岛上的太平洋导弹靶场(Pacific Missile Range Facility, PMRF)与 Koke'e Park 地球物理观测站,其房地产最终环境影响报告(FEIS)已被美国海军与美国国家航空航天局(NASA)撤回。夏威夷州土地与自然资源部(DLNR)11月5日宣布,已收到两家联邦机构撤回该报告的通知。

DLNR 表示,撤回之后,这份最终环评将不会再送交土地与自然资源委员会(BLNR)作可接受性裁定。按夏威夷州行政规则第 11-200.1-28(g) 条,海军与 NASA 若日后决定重新提交,就必须按一份新的草案环评来办理,走完备案、分发、公布、审查与通知的全部要求,其中包括新一轮公众评议期。

DLNR 第一副主任 Dave Day 表示,该部赞赏海军与 NASA 撤回最终环评的决定,认为这符合夏威夷州民众的最佳利益。他说,环境影响报告的目的,是让决策者与公众尽可能多地掌握项目信息,以便依照夏威夷州法律,就州有土地的使用作出有充分依据的决定。

Dave Day 还表示,无论一个人赞成还是反对这个具体项目,海军与 NASA 撤回最终环评、并可能着手回应各方关切的做法,体现了对夏威夷州法律的尊重,也体现了联邦机构对发声的夏威夷民众意见的回应。

这份环评的进程此前已几经延宕。海军与 NASA 于2026年8月14日同步向 DLNR 与夏威夷州规划与可持续发展办公室的环境审查项目提交最终环评,原定30天可接受性期限为9月13日;9月4日,DLNR 批准两家机构的请求、给予15天延期,期限延至9月29日。

但9月14日,DLNR 又暂停了这一期限,理由是飓风 Lowell 对考艾岛造成影响,需要保障公众参与审查的机会;这一决定依据的是州长 Josh Green 关于2026年9月热带气旋的第二号公告,意在让考艾岛居民有切实机会参与委员会对最终环评的审议。按公告现行版本,紧急期定于12月20日届满,但 DLNR 表示,随着最终环评被撤回,这一期限已不再具有实际意义。

Navy and NASA Withdraw Final EIS for Kauai Military Facilities: Any New Filing Must Restart as a Draft With Public Comment

The U.S. Navy and NASA have withdrawn the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) covering the real estate actions for the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) and the Kokee Park Geophysical Observatory (KPGO) on Kauai, in Kauai County, Hawaii. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) announced on November 5 that it had been notified of the two federal agencies' decision to withdraw the statement.

DLNR said that, as a result of the decision, the FEIS will not be presented to the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) for a determination of its acceptability. Under Hawaii Administrative Rules section 11-200.1-28(g), if the Navy and NASA elect to submit another environmental impact statement, it must meet all requirements for filing, distribution, publication, review and notification as a draft EIS, including a new public-comment period.

DLNR First Deputy Director Dave Day said the department commends the Navy and NASA for the decision to withdraw the FEIS, which DLNR believes to be in the best interest of the people of Hawaii. He said the purpose of an environmental impact statement is to provide decision makers and the public with as much information about a project as possible so that well-reasoned decisions about the use of state land can be made in accordance with Hawaii law.

Day added that, whether a person agrees or disagrees with this particular project, the decision to withdraw the FEIS and potentially work to address concerns demonstrates respect for Hawaii law and a responsiveness by federal agencies to the views of the people of Hawaii who made their voices heard.

The review had already been extended several times. The Navy and NASA concurrently filed the final statement with DLNR and the state Office of Planning and Sustainable Development's Environmental Review Program on August 14, 2026, setting an original 30-day acceptance deadline of September 13. On September 4, DLNR granted the agencies a 15-day extension, moving the deadline to September 29.

On September 14, however, DLNR suspended the acceptance deadline to protect the public's ability to participate in the review following the impacts of Hurricane Lowell on Kauai. The decision, made under Governor Josh Green's Second Proclamation Relating to September 2026 Tropical Cyclones, was intended to give the people of Kauai a meaningful opportunity to participate in any consideration of the FEIS by the board. The emergency period under the current proclamation is set to expire on December 20, 2026, but DLNR said the withdrawal of the FEIS renders that deadline moot.
