Navy KREP: Broken Agreement
Caused Karst Collapse And Subsurface Damage
Navy Reneged On Signed Programmatic Agreement - Many Times
by John Bond Kanehili Hui
After attending an on site meeting at the Hunt Navy KREP PV site where the contracted Navy archaeologist stated that no vehicles or machinery over Gross Vehicle Weight of 9000 pounds, the Hunt site developer immediately brought in the largest heavy trucks, semi's and metal tracked equipment crushing through the fragile ancient coral karst surface.
Heavy tractor trailer and large metal tracked equipment were used to
clear the KREP PV site despite very clear and specific PA agreement not
to do so. The Navy archaeologist, if ever there at all, never bothered to
enforce the PA and neither did the Navy at Pearl Harbor which had signed the
KREP Programmatic Agreement.

The result was very extensive flooding of the site area, fracturing the
underground WW-II era MCAS Ewa water distribution system.
During WW-II construction a large bulldozer fell into a huge underground karst cave
This actually happened again several more times in the area north and west of
the PV construction site, flooding area roads and wasting huge amounts of water
as Hunt Corp moved heavy machinery and very heavy large trucks back and forth.

July 30, 2012 Kalaeloa Renewable Energy Park Programmatic Agreement-
Broken Programmatic Agreement:
"Clearing shall be performed with manual labor and small-scale machinery and
light trucks (maximum GVW of 8,500 pounds, as defined by Corporate Average
Fuel Economy standards). Bulldozers and metal-tracked equipment shall not
be used for clearing activities."

Nearly all of the metal tracked machinery was repeatedly brought back and forth
across the 1941 runway on a regular basis from
another base yard area near Coral Sea Road where Hunt Corp tenants are
American Machinery.
Way over agreed GVW trucks and machinery fracture subsurface karst caves
The result is fracturing the WW-II era sand filled karst sinkholes and caves
The community warned about the porous karst noted in original MCAS Ewa documents
During airfield construction in WW-II beach sand was poured into the many karst caves
These same heavy weight trucks pound and crack the local roadways
Airfield under early 1925 construction show hundreds of karst caves and sinkholes
During WW-II construction a large bulldozer fell into a huge underground cave.
Beach sand was poured into the many sinkholes and caves. But eventually it
washes out from decades of rainfall.
