| Description | US Navy Hands Over Hawaiian Island to State
The Honolulu Advertiser
The Navy completed its handover of this former island bombing site Friday, withdrawing personnel and equipment and fully transferring power to the state after a 10-year, $460 million cleanup. Rear Adm. Barry McCullough, commander of Navy Region Hawaii, made a final trip to the island, assessing work and thanking staffers. "I'm glad the Navy did what it was chartered to do," he said. According to the Navy, 22,214 of Kahoolawe's 26,158 accessible acres were cleared on the surface of ordnance, fragments and scrap metal. Only 2,650 acres were cleared up to four feet below ground. |
