U.S. Air Force Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan Wake Island Air Field, Koke'e Air Force Station, Kaua'I, Hawai'I; and Mount Ka'ala Air Force Station, O'ahu, Hawai'I

Summary

The purpose of this Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) is to clearly define the goals and objectives for natural resources management on Wake Island Air Field (WIA); Kōkeˋe Air Force Station (AFS), Kauaˋi, Hawaiˋi; and Mount (Mt.) Kaˋala AFS, Oˋahu, Hawaiˋi. This INRMP was prepared in accordance with the Sikes Act Improvement Act (SAIA) as amended through 2013; Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32 7064, Integrated Natural Resources Management (United States Air Force [USAF] 2014a); and Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 32-70, Environmental Quality (USAF 1994a). The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Hawaiˋi Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) have reviewed and signed this INRMP, indicating their mutual agreement with the Commanding Officers regarding natural resources management on these installations.

This INRMP revises and combines the existing INRMPs for Wake Atoll (the Atoll), Kōkeˋe AFS, and Mt. Kaˋala AFS (USAF 2008a, 2007), includes a discussion of the natural resources on the installations and reviews natural resources activities undertaken at the installations. This INRMP provides the USAF and its partnering agencies with a description of the installations and their surrounding environments, and presents various management practices designed to mitigate negative impacts and enhance the positive effects of the installations’ missions on local ecosystems."
