Pacific Missile Range Facility and Kōkeʻe Park Geophysical Observatory Real Estate Environmental Impact Statement
Welcome to the project website for the Pacific Missile Range Facility and Kōkeʻe Park Geophysical Observatory Real Estate Environmental Impact Statement
Aloha and Welcome
The U.S. Navy and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are jointly preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of proposed real estate agreements with the State of Hawai‘i for the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) and the Kōkeʻe Park Geophysical Observatory (KPGO). The Navy and NASA invite the public to participate in the environmental planning process.
This project website provides the latest information on the EIS. Please review this site for:
- information on the status and schedule of the EIS
- documents and references available for review
- opportunities for public involvement
- methods to submit comments during the designated public comment periods
This website will be updated throughout the project. Please check back often for updates.
Public Review and Comment Period
Public involvement is an integral part of the environmental planning process. The public has an important role in providing input during this process to help the Navy and NASA make more informed decisions about the proposed real estate action.
The Navy and NASA invite the public to review and comment on the Draft EIS and to attend public meetings either in person or online. These public meetings, held on July 15-17, 2025, were conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and in support of Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 343. The public meetings also served as an opportunity to obtain public input concerning potential effects to historic properties pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and HRS Section 6E-8.
The public review and comment period began June 20, 2025, and ends August 7, 2025, 11:59 p.m. HST. The public is encouraged to submit written comments by August 7, 2025. The public was able to submit written and oral comments at the public meetings in person or online held July 15-17, 2025.
