E Executive Summary

Ecology and Environment, Inc.'s (E & E's) Superfund Technical Assessment and Response Team (START), under the direction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), conducted a Brownfields Targeted Site Assessment at Sand Island State Park (the site), in Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The assessment was conducted in response to a request from the State to evaluate environmental conditions at the site in support of site redevelopment. Proposed site redevelopment plans include an expansion of the existing state park to include undeveloped property along the southwestern end of Sand Island, and a nine-hole golf course proposed for an 83-acre undeveloped area located west-northwest of the state park. This assessment was conducted in coordination with the State of Hawaii, Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT), Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and Department of Health (DOH).

In November 2000, START along with staff members from DOH conducted sampling activities at the site. The purpose of this sampling was to determine whether or not soil at the site had been impacted by past operations and provide a basis for future investigations. The sampling was designed as an initial screening to focus the data collection efforts that would support future removal and redevelopment decisions. To support the proposed redevelopment plans of a nine-hole golf course on the western portion of the site, soil samples were collected from 25 test pits throughout the western portion of the site. Soil samples were analyzed for metals, semivolatile compounds, pesticides and PCBs, and volatile compounds. The results of the soil sampling confirmed the presence of several metals, two semivolatile compounds, one pesticide, and one volatile compound above state and/or federal screening action levels.

Executive Summary

To evaluate the environmental conditions at the site, the sampling results were compared to various screening level action criteria. The screening level action criteria considered in this assessment include:

• Hawaii Administrative Rule Section 11- 281-80.1 Tier 1 Action-Levels for Soil and Groundwater: Rainfall <200 cm/year (6/99) where Drinking Water Source Not Threatened (Tier 1)

• EPA Region. 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals for Industrial Soil, October 1999 (PRGs)

• EPA Soil Screening Levels for DAF20, October 1999 (SSLs)

These action criteria provide an initial basis for evaluating site conditions in respect to the protection of groundwater and human health. Tier 1 and SSLs were developed based on the protection of groundwater; therefore, they were used as the action criteria to evaluate potential impacts to groundwater. PRGs were developed based on the protection of human health; thus, they were used to evaluate potential soil impacts to human health. These action criteria were used only as general guidelines. Ultimate cleanup criteria for the site are determined by the State. Table E-l is a list of the compounds that were found above an action level, along with a note regarding its potential for impact.

Introduction

Ecology and Environment, Inc.'s (E & E's) Superfiind Technical Assessment and Response Team (START), under the direction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), conducted a Brownfields Targeted Site Assessment at Sand Island State Park (the site), in Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The assessment was conducted in response to a request from the State to evaluate environmental conditions at the site in support of future site redevelopment. Proposed site redevelopment plans include an expansion of the existing state park to add undeveloped property along the southwestern end of Sand Island, and a nine-hole golf course proposed for an 83-acre undeveloped area located west-northwest of the state park. This assessment was conducted in coordination with the State of Hawaii, Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism (DBEDT), Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), and Department of Health (DOH).

The term "Brownfields" refers to abandoned, idled, or under-utilized industrial or commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. A major goal of the Brownfield program is to empower states, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together to assess, safely clean up (if necessary), and reuse Brownfields.

In October 2000, START completed a Phase I Environmental Assessment (E & E, 2000a) which identified several areas on the site where historical activities may have caused contamination or where previous investigations indicated the presence of contaminants on site. Based on the results of the Phase I assessment, the EPA directed START to collect and analyze soil samples to evaluate the current environmental conditions at the site. START conducted sampling activities at the site in November 2000. The planned field sampling activities and chemical analysis were presented in the Sampling and

2.2 Site Description The site is approximately 173.7 acres and is controlled, operated, and maintained by DLNR. The site is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Keehi Lagoon on the south, Honolulu Channel on the southeast, Kalihi

• Channel on the northwest, and Honolulu Harbor and Kapalama Basin on the north. Access to the island is by the Bascule Bridge to the Sand Island Access Road (formerly called Sand Island Parkway) from the former Kapalama Military Reservation on the Island of Oahu. The largest parcel, Tax Map Key (TMK) 1-5-041:006, is on the seaward side of Sand Island. The two smaller parcels are landward from the largest parcel and bounded by Sand Island Access Road to the north, the Marine Education Training Center to the northwest, and the Sand Island wastewater treatment plant to the northeast. The eastern portion of the larger parcel is adjacent to the treatment plant, the Sand Island

Site Background

3.1 Site History A brief history of the ownership and/or use of the site has been compiled, based on information collected by E & E during a Phase I assessment conducted between August and October 2000 (E & E 2000a).

3.1.1 Current Use of the Site The main entrance to the site is adjacent to the Coast Guard Station on the northeast side of the island. This area is used as a state public park. The developed portions of the park and near shore include facilities for recreation, such as picnicking, fishing, camping, water activities, and baseball. Other support facilities include comfort stations and parking lots with water, telephones, sewer and electrical hook-ups. Historical artifacts from World War II, including former ammunition magazines, gun emplacements, and an observation tower, were preserved for public appreciation. A park caretaker resides in a cottage next to the maintenance building, north of the observation tower.

The southwestern portion of the State Recreational Area and the adjacent two smaller parcels of the site that lie west, beyond the southern point of the island (near the baseball fields), are undeveloped. This approximately 83-acre area is the proposed location for a nine-hole golf course. The area is not fenced and is open to the public. Due to the construction of a new wastewater pipeline north to Honolulu from the wastewater treatment plant, a temporary pipe construction yard and bypass roads are built on these parcels.

The westernmost end of the island, near Bascule Bridge, is used by the Honolulu Community College for the Marine Education Training Center. The facility includes a public boat launch maintained by the State of Hawaii, Department of Transportation.

3. Site Background

There are easements for sewer, electrical, water, and telephone utilities at the site. These easements are generally along the northern boundary of the site. The outfall pipelines from the waste water treatment plant are underground and run beneath the site to the shoreline at the southern point of the island.

3.1.2 Historical Use of the Site The three parcels, which constitute the site, have been used as a seaside buffer zone and have been potentially affected by activities on adjacent properties. During the early 1900s, the central and northern portions of the island were used as an immigration quarantine station, a military reservation, and for communications support. In 1937, a 40-foot coastal searchlight tower and a 40-foot control tower with a 25-kilowatt power plant were constructed on the southern shore (currently the state park). In 1942, four seven-inch guns were placed at Battery Harbor adjacent to the towers. In 1949, the east end of the site featured a motor pool with an underground storage tank (UST). The current status of this UST is unknown. During World War II, the military reservation was used by the U.S. Army Port and Service Command to support the Pacific theater. After the war, the reservation was used to handle surplus equipment and supplies. Many of the support, areas from these past activities extended onto the site (DLNR Records).

A 1974 historical aerial photograph showed the beginning of pipeline construction, substantial open dumping of solid waste and vehicles, with much of this debris emanating from the industrial park adjacent to the east side of the site. An aerial photograph from 1984 showed that the State Recreational Area had been developed and most of the solid wastes had been removed or covered with overburden.

A review of historical aerial photographs identified the following historical uses of adjacent properties which may have contributed to contamination at the site:

• Military Reservation motor pool which included a wash/grease rack (central).

• Laundry/dry cleaning plant, oil storage area, paint shop and other repair shop (east).

• Coast Guard Station with motor pool, wash rack, and oil storage (north Sand Island).

• Open dumping and discarded vehicles (various areas). • Business Industrial Park (east).

y ecology and environment, inc.

3. Site Background

• Sewer treatment plant (central).

3.2 Previous Investigations Since the early 1970s, a number of environmental studies (e.g., EISs and redevelopment plans) has been conducted at the site.

In 1972, a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) was prepared by the R.M. Towill Corporation for the Department of Public Works, City and County of Honolulu, to construct a deep ocean pipeline to discharge treated sewer water (R.M. Towill 1974). Existing shallow outfalls were not adequate to dissipate the sewer water, causing poor water quality along the Sand Island shoreline. The second pipeline was proposed to be built adjacent to the shallow outfall that traversed the easement on the southern parcel to the Pacific Ocean. No information was presented in this EIS on potential historical soil contamination near the construction zone.

In 1973, the Division of State Parks and Aotani & Oka Architects, Inc. conducted an EIS to support the development of the 140-acre state park. A site reconnaissance and subsurface investigation was conducted for the proposed state park in 1974 by Dames & Moore. Site features were mapped and soil borings, test pits, and percolation tests were conducted. All three parcels on the western end had piles of debris (e.g., trash, cable, tires, wood, and steel) scattered throughout. There was a 10 to 12-foot high earthen berm on parcel TMK 1-5-41:22 adjacent to Keehi Lagoon, in which two soil borings were drilled. On the southern point, garbage and other discarded material were found. Further east were piles of fill, cemented scrap iron, glass, and the World War II structures. Surface fill soils in the boring and twelve other test pits were classified as the following:

• dark gray silty sand, • brown silt and sand, • tan silty sand and gravel, • tan sand and gravel, and • loose cobbles and gravel.

During the 1973 investigation, groundwater was encountered at three-to seven-feet below ground surface (bgs). No information was presented regarding potential historical soil contamination at the site, other than dumping of solid wastes (Dames & Moore 1974).

N:\SandIsland\sandisland_rpt.wpd 24JuI2001: 14:41 3-3

3. Site Background

In 1978, the U.S. Army Engineer District, Honolulu, conducted a study to protect the seaward shoreline of Sand Island (parcel TMK 1-5-41:6) from erosion. An EIS was prepared by the Division of State Parks for the shore protection project in 1989 (DLNR 1989). No information was presented in this study on potential historical soil contamination along the seaward shore front.

In 1988, the City and County of Honolulu prepared a master plan to develop parcel TMK 1-5-41:22 as a Corporation Yard. A geotechnical investigation indicated that the parcel is underlain by 2.5 to 5.0 feet of fill resting upon 1.5 to 2.5 feet of organic clay on a thin coral ledge (Fewell Geotechnical Engineering, Ltd. 1988). These soils were not suitable for building structure loads. An EIS was conducted in 1989; however, the project was not implemented. No information was presented in this EIS on potential historical soil contamination on this parcel (CCHBD 1989).

In 1992, the Honolulu Community College prepared an EIS to construct a Marine Education and Training Center on the western edge of parcel TMK 1-5-41:6 (Wilson Okamoto & Associates 1992), while Muranaka Environmental Consultants, Inc. prepared a Phase I Property Environmental Assessment Report. The Phase I assessment documented petroleum discolored soil adjacent to barrels of waste oil, small (less than 10 gallons) containers of lubricating oil, used batteries, and other hazardous materials. The report recommended that these materials be removed and properly disposed prior to construction.

In 1994, the U.S. Army Engineer District published an inventory report of the former Sand Island Military Reservation. The objective of this assessment was to determine if ordnance and explosive wastes (OEW) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) materials were present at the former Sand Island Military Reservation and adjacent property. Army personnel visited the site in 1992 to inspect the four gun emplacements, ancillary magazines, and the protective walls to a firing range. No OEW was discovered. The former ammunition magazines were reportedly devoid of OEW/UXO prior to being sealed shut and converted into park use as historical structures. The Army also noted that former firing range areas were also devoid of OEW/UXO materials and had been heavily disturbed by grading, forming large soil mounds, and by disposal of construction debris. Although no evidence of surface OEW/UXO materials were found, a UXO survey was conducted in 1994 in the former firing range and magazine bunkers to located potential buried contaminants. A magnetometer sweep did not

3. Site Background

indicate any OEW/UXO. The former firing range contained large amounts of disposed metal (cars, rebar, trash, construction debris, concrete) and the magazine bunkers contained electrical wires, rebar, and sprinklers.

Other former military facilities of potential environmental concern

include: (

• motor pools, • gasoline-dispensing station, • dry-cleaning plant, • electrical transformer bank, • paint-storage sheds, and • oil-storage racks.

The only facility actually on site was the former gasoline-dispensing station, which was located near the entrance of the park. All other former facilities were located either in the Sand Island Business Industrial Park, container yard, or the Coast Guard Station areas. However, during the Army site reconnaissance in 1992, the former facilities were absent or demolished and were replaced with current land uses. No evidence of the former gasoline station was observed at

' the park entrance or the adjacent industrial storage yard.

3.3 Previous Sampling Although numerous environmental studies (e.g., EISs, and proposed redevelopment plans) have been conducted at the site, limited environmental sampling has been conducted. The information from previously conducted sampling is either incomplete or not available.

3. Property Description

3.2.2 Hydrology Coastal water quality surrounding Sand Island is considered poor due to industrial and shipping activities in Honolulu Harbor, urban discharges, storm water runoff, and sewage water discharge to the ocean.

Groundwater is brackish and not used for potable purposes.

Groundwater beneath Sand Island and the surrounding Malama Bay region was influenced by the submergence and emergence of major areas of Oahu. Sea-level changes over time resulted in interbedding of coral and alluvial deposits along the leeward coastline of Oahu. These deposits overlay the original Koolau Series basalt. The interface between the upper sedimentary layers and the underlying basalt constitutes a zone of low permeability known as caprock. This caprock extends along the coastline about 800-900 feet below sea level, decreasing in thickness inland. This impervious zone of caprock prevents the downward flow of any non-potable brackish water containing high nutrient and salt concentrations from reaching the basalt aquifers, which contain Oahu's water supply. Conversely, the caprock also prevents the seaward movement of potable water from the basaltic aquifers. The caprock also prevents any impacts to groundwater from modifications along the coastline, such as the filling of Sand Island's salt marshes and lowlands with dredged marine deposits.

There are only two shallow groundwater wells on Sand Island, one on the Sand Isle Wharf and one on the U.S. Coast Guard Reservation. The well on the wharf is used to monitor the migration of brackish water contamination into the subsurface groundwater onto the northern portion of Sand Island from Honolulu Harbor and the well on the reservation is used for aquaculture (see Appendix A). There are no drinking water wells within two miles of the site. All potable water at Sand Island is supplied by the municipality.

The eastern portion of the site is used for a state park. All other areas are undeveloped or used for the temporary construction of a new wastewater pipeline.

3.3 Current Uses of the Property Figure 3-2 shows the current land uses of the site. The main entrance to the site is on the northeast side of the island. This area is used as a state public park. The developed portions of the park and near shore include facilities for recreation, which include boating, water skiing, surfing, fishing, boat launching, limu picking, snorkeling, swimming, walking, bicycling, camping, picnicking, and baseball. Other support facilities include comfort stations and

09:000610_KJ09_05_0521FHSTXX— SF394 Sand Island Site Investigation.wpd-10/20/00 3-6



parking lots that have water, sewer, electricity, and telephone utilities available. Historical artifacts from World War II are available for public use, which include former ammunition magazines, gun emplacements, and an observation tower. A park caretaker resides in a house next to the maintenance building north of the tower..

The western portions of the park and the two smaller adjacent parcels of the site beyond the southern point of the island (near the baseball fields) are undeveloped. This area, approximately 83 acres, is proposed for a new 9-hole golf course. The area is not fenced and is open to the public. Due to the construction of a new wastewater pipeline north to Honolulu from the wastewater treatment plant, a temporary pipe construction yard and by-pass roads are built on these parcels.

There are easements for sewer water, electricity, potable water, and telephone utilities at the site. They are generally along the northern boundary of the site. The ocean outfall pipelines from the treatment plant are underground and cross over to the shoreline at the southern point of the island.

Since the early 1900's, the site has been used as a quarantine station, military reservation, and support facility during World War II.

3.4 Past Uses of the Property The three parcels have been used as a seaside buffer zone and received use connected with an infectious disease quarantine station and a military reservation. During the early 1900's, the central and northern portions of the existing island configuration were used as an immigration/ quarantine station, military reservation, and for communications support. In 1937, a 40-foot coastal searchlight tower and a 40-foot control tower with a 25-kilowatt power power plant were constructed on the southern shore (currently the state park). In 1942, four seven-inch guns were placed as Battery Harbor adjacent to the towers. During World War II, the military reservation was used by the U.S. Army Port and Service Command to support the Pacific theater. After the war, the reservation was used to handle surplus equipment and supplies. Many of the support areas from these past activities extended onto the site.

3.5 Environmental Liens and Other Encumberances

According to the preassessment questionnaires, there are no environmental liens or other encumberances on the site.

3.6 Current and Past Uses of Adjoining Properties

Environmental Setting

The following sections describe the environmental setting for the site.

4.1 Geographic Setting Sand Island is a low land area off the southern coast of the island of Oahu. Originally, the location consisted of a reef platform which extended seaward to the approximate seaward boundary of the current Sand Island. The entire island was five acres, barely visible at high tide.

Today, Sand Island is mainly composed of fill provided by various historic dredging projects conducted in the early-to mid-20th century. The current topography is relatively flat with an average slope of less than one percent toward the shoreline. The site parcels rise from a seven-foot embankment along the seaward shoreline to generally 15 feet toward the Sand Island Access Road. There are soil mounds and a continuous berm that stretches along the western shore of the largest parcel (TMK No. 1-5-41:6). The berm and mounds are due to the dumping of fill, and are about 20 feet above mean lower low water level (sea level). The surface of these mounds and the berm consist of loose soil, various rubbish and debris (e.g., tires, electronic equipment, clothing materials), rock, pieces of concrete, and vegetation (see Photo 9, Appendix A).

During the field activities in November 2000, ponded water covered a substantial area of the site adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant's construction yard. In some areas, access roads were fully or partially blocked with standing water (see Photo 26, Appendix A). This flooding of water caused START to relocate some of the sample locations. The standing water encountered during the sampling was largely due to ponds created for the dewatering of pits and trenches in conjunction with the City and County of Honolulu's Hart Street Wastewater Pump Station Force Main Replacement Project, which is ongoing in the area. The City's contractor intended these to be seepage ponds, but due to low permeability, they function as evaporation ponds.

4. Environmental Setting

4.2 Meteorology Sand Island's climate is consistent with the rest of the low-lying areas of Oahu, although rainfall is likely to vary due to the combined effects of the moist northeasterly trade winds and the island's mountain ranges. The weather is characterized by two seasons, winter and summer, with only moderate temperature changes in the peaks of either of these seasons. Trade winds are persistent throughout the year (Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau, 1997). Annual average temperatures range from 70 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The annual average precipitation in nearby Honolulu is reportedly 21.05 inches; however, the Honolulu International Airport recorded only seven inches for the 2000 year.

4.3 Geology Sand Island is at the seaward edge of the Honolulu Harbor complex, which is within the two-mile wide coastal plain along the Island of Oahu's south-central coast. The native material is classified as Jaucus sand. The fill material of the island is characterized as silty sand and coral gravel, which has high porosity and permeability. On the western sections, some topsoil has evolved or accumulated from dumping activity and has sustained vegetation. The topsoil is classified as Ewa Silty Clay Loam, and is moderately shallow (20-50 inches deep). Runoff is very slow and permeability is moderate with a slight erosion potential. Topsoil was imported into Sand Island State Park for landscaping purposes. Soils encountered during sampling in November 2000 consisted primarily of sandy fill and debris.

4.4 Hydrogeology The submergence and emergence of major areas of Oahu influenced groundwater beneath Sand Island and the surrounding Malama Bay region. Sea-level changes over time resulted in interbedding of coral and alluvial deposits along the leeward coastline of Oahu. These deposits overlay the original Koolau Series basalt. The interface between the upper sedimentary layers and the underlying basalt constitutes a zone of low permeability known locally as caprock. This caprock lies under Sand Island's surface, about 800-900 feet below sea level. It extends along the coastline, decreasing in thickness in its most inland parts. This impervious zone of caprock minimizes the downward flow of non-potable brackish water containing high nutrient and salt concentrations from reaching the basalt aquifers, which contain Oahu's water supply. Conversely, the caprock also minimizes the seaward movement of potable water from the basaltic aquifers. The


r ecology and environment, inc.

4. Environmental Setting

caprock also minimizes any impacts to groundwater from modifications along the coastline, such as the filling of Sand Island's salt marshes and lowlands with dredged marine deposits.

There are two shallow groundwater wells on Sand Island, one on the Sand Isle Wharf and one on the U.S. Coast Guard Reservation. Neither of these two wells is located on the site. The well on the wharf is used to monitor the migration of brackish water contamination into the subsurface groundwater beneath the northern portion of Sand Island from Honolulu Harbor. The well on the reservation is used for aquaculture. There are no drinking water wells within two miles of the site. The municipality supplies all potable water at Sand Island.

Coastal water quality surrounding Sand Island is considered poor due to industrial and shipping activities in Honolulu Harbor, urban discharges, storm water runoff, and treated sewage water discharge to the ocean.

4.5 Demography and Land Use Sand Island is divided into sections of land used for military and federal properties, waterfront industrial and commercial business, warehouses and other general purposes (Figure 4-1). Large portions of the island, particularly on the southwestern shore, are vacant and undeveloped.

4. Findings

In 1988, the City and County of Honolulu prepared a master plan to develop parcel TMK 1-5-41:22 as a Corporation Yard. A geotechnical investigation indicated that the parcel is underlain by 2.5 to 5.0 feet of fill resting upon 1.5 to 2.5 feet of organic clay on a thin coral ledge. These soils were not suitable for building structure loads. An EIS was conducted in 1989, however the project was not implemented. No information was presented in this EIS on potential historical soil contamination on this parcel.

Containers of hazardous materials and petroleum products were found on the western portion of the site in 1992.

In 1992, the Honolulu Community College prepared an EIS to construct a Marine Education and Training Center on the western edge of parcel TMK 1-5-41:6. Muranaka Environmental Consultants, Inc. prepared a Phase I Property Environmental Assessment Report which documented petroleum discolored soil adjacent to barrels of waste oil, small (less than 10 gallons) containers of lubricating oil, used batteries, and other hazardous materials. The report recommended that these materials be removed and properly disposed prior to construction.

No OEW/UXO were found at the site by the Corps of Engineers.

In 1994, the U.S. Army Engineer District published an inventory report of the former Sand Island Military Reservation (see Appendix B). The objective of this assessment was to determine if ordnance and explosive wastes (OEW) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) materials were present at the former Sand Island Military Reservation and adjacent property. Corps of Engineer personnel visited the site in 1992 to inspect the four gun emplacements, ancillary magazines, and the protective walls to a firing range. No OEW was discovered. The former ammunition magazines were reportedly devoid of OEW/UXO prior to being sealed shut and converted into park use and historical structures. The Corps also noted that the area of the former firing ranges was also devoid of OEW/UXO materials and had been heavily disturbed by grading, forming large soil mounds and disposal of construction debris. Although no evidence of surface OEW/UXO materials were found, a UXO survey was conducted in 1994 in the former firing range and magazine bunkers to located potential buried contaminants. A magnetometer sweep did not indicate any OEW/UXO. The former firing range contained large amounts of disposed metal (cars, rebar, trash, construction debris, concrete) and the magazine bunkers contained electrical wires, rebar, and sprinklers.

Other former military facilities of potential environmental concern were identified in the general plan map (see Appendix D). During the corps site reconnaissance, they were absent or demolished and

09:000610_KJ09_05_0521FHSTXX— SF394 Sand Island Site Investigation.wpd-10/20/00 4-4


Nearby sites listed on the regulatory database do not appear to have impacted soils and groundwater at the site.

No evidence of the motor pool was found near the entrance of the state park.

4. Findings

were replaced with current land uses. These included the following former military facilities:

• motor pools • gasoline dispensing station • dry cleaning plant • electrical transformer bank • paint storage sheds • oil storage racks

The only facility that is on the current state park property is the former gasoline dispensing station which was located near the entrance of the park. All other former facilities are in the Sand Island Business Industrial Park, container yard, and Coast Guard Station areas. The corps did not observe any evidence of the former gasoline station at the park entrance or the adjacent industrial storage yard.

4.6 Database Searches A search of federal, state, and local databases was performed by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) in accordance with the ASTM guidelines (see Appendix A). The parcels were not listed on any of the databases searched by EDR.

The regulatory search identified 13 sites on state databases adjacent to the site. There are six sites from 0.25 to 0.5 mile from the center of the three parcels. These sites are leaking underground storage tanks (LUSTs), but were cleaned up and closed or recorded as a "confirmed release" or recorded as "cleanup initiated." No other information was provided for the sites that were not designated as "closed." Additionally, seven more sites from 0.25 to 0.75 mile from the center of the three parcels were identified but the exact locations are unclear due to incomplete addresses. These sites are listed on the following databases: LUST, underground storage tanks (UST), hazardous waste generators, and hazardous substance users. No information is provided from the databases on whether hazardous substances or hazardous wastes were released to the environment. These 13 sites listed adjacent to the three parcels do not appear to have impacted the site soils or groundwater due to a LUST, UST, or hazardous waste/substance uses.



4. Findings

4.7 Property Reconnaissance The three parcels were inspected for visual evidence of stained soils, stressed vegetation, dump/fill areas, or other indications of potential releases of hazardous substances or hazardous wastes to the environment. Photographs of site conditions are shown in Appendix F. The following personnel attended the site reconnaissance:

Large variety of solid wastes were mixed into soil mounds or dumped into the vegetation of the undeveloped areas of the site.

• Office of Hazard Evaluation & Emergency Response (OHEER), State of Hawai'i Department of Health (DOH) — Clyde Morita, Bryce Hataoka, and Amy Playdon

• Energy, Resources, and Technology Division, State of Hawai'i Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT)-Gail Suzuki-Jones and Nadia Al-hadith

• Land Use Division, State of Hawai'i Office of Planning (OP)-DBEDT Abe Mitsuda and Richard Stook

• START-Diana Wong and Colin Moy

The developed portions (eastern end) of the state park were devoid of any construction debris, solid waste dumping, OEW/UXO materials, or other potential hazardous substances/wastes. There were no evidence of cement backstops from the former firing range or the former gasoline station. Areas west of the baseball fields had evidence of household garbage, discarded scrap metal, cars, tires, refrigerators, "burn" areas, and other assorted solid wastes. There were no visual evidence of stained soils or containers of hazardous substances/wastes in the areas visited along unpaved roads. These dump areas were interspersed in the soil mounds and vegetation and along unpaved roads.

The undeveloped areas have been disturbed creating 10 to 20 foot high mounds of soil throughout the western end. Because of historical dumping of a variety of unknown solid wastes, much of the wastes were observed to be mixed into the mounds. No liquids or containers of hazardous substances/wastes or stained soils were observed.

The operators of the temporary pipeline construction yard for the sewer treatment plant cleared an area for their lay down yard and dewatering evaporation ponds (see interviews). According to the supervisor, there was no evidence of potential soil contamination from this activity.

4. Findings

4.8 Interviews START interviewed state and private-sector personnel familiar with past and current land uses of the site. Interviews with the following persons are summarized in Appendix G:

• Clyde Y. Hosokawa, Supervisor, Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), Division of State Parks (DSP)

• Ken Muraoka, P.E., Senior Construction Manager, Mitsunaga & Associates, Inc.

• Lene Ichinotsubo, Engineer, Hawai'i Department of Health (DOH), Environmental Health Administration, Environmental Management Division, Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch

• Myounghee Noh, Principal, Consulting Chemist, Myounghee Noh & Associates, L.L.C.

Interviews indicated that the site was used as an open dumping area from other industrial and military activities from central and northern Sand Island facilities and from people on Oahu. All types of solid, construction, and metal wastes were dumped along unpaved roads, within vegetation, and on the shoreline/shallow surf zone. Most of the disposed materials have been cleaned up on the current state park area; however, some materials still remain on the undeveloped parcels west of the baseball fields. Some of the disposal areas have been graded into soil mounds creating large berms throughout the undeveloped area.


5 Sampling Activities

Field sampling activities were conducted at the site by START and staff members from DOH in November 2000. The purpose of this sampling was to determine whether the soil at the site had been impacted by past operations and to provide a basis for future investigations. The sampling was designed as an initial screening to focus the data collection efforts that would support future removal and redevelopment decisions. To support the proposed redevelopment plans of a nine-hole golf course on the western portion of the site, the field sampling efforts were focused entirely on the undeveloped area on the western side of the site.

5.1 Deviations from SAP Field sampling activities were conducted in accordance with the SAP (E & E 2000b) with the following exceptions:

• Mound Slope Pits: Figure 4-2 of the SAP shows that discrete mounds were to be sampled. However, the "mounds" depicted in the SAP are actually part of a continuous berm that stretches along the seaward side of the sampling area. A full characterization of the "mound" could not be accomplished by simply alternating on both sides of the formation because access was often limited by physical obstructions, such as standing water or thick vegetation. Instead, START collected samples from test pits dug into the slope of the berm, directly down into the berm from the top and, where possible, from a slope opposite a previous sample.

• Sample Locations (General): Due to the biased nature of this sampling event, the actual sample locations may not match the proposed sample locations depicted in Figure 4-1 of the SAP. Samples were collected in the field based on access and visual evidence of the most likely contaminated areas, such as debris piles. A revised sample location map is shown in Figure 5-1.


5. Sampling Activities

• Sample Locations (Dumping Area): The area of the site with the heaviest amount of dumping (i.e., tires, construction debris, various rubbish) could not be sampled directly, as the soil surrounding the debris piles was underwater (see Photo 23, Appendix A). Test pits were dug as close to the debris piles as possible.

• Sampling Methods: To preserve representative sample concentrations, all of the soil samples that were collected were grab samples rather than composite samples as described in the SAP. Three grab samples were taken from different spots within each test pit, carefully selecting the most potentially contaminated samples based on best professional judgement. This method was used to obtain the most complete characterization at each test pit.

5.2 Soil Sampling In accordance with the SAP, 25 soil sampling locations or exploratory test pits (TP-1 through TP-25) were established on site as shown in Figure 5-1. The sample locations were selected in the field based on site history, visual observations, subsequent communications with local agencies, and physical accessibility. After surveying the site, 25 exploratory test pits were excavated using a backhoe. Each sample location was recorded using global positioning system (GPS) equipment (see Appendix A for sample coordinates).

The test pits ranged in depth from 10 inches to 10 feet below ground surface (bgs), depending on the relative surface elevation and depth to groundwater. Three soil samples were collected from each test pit. The samples were assigned consecutive sample numbers corresponding to the test pit. For example, the three samples from TP-1 were assigned sample numbers TP-1-1 through TP-1-3 (the last digit of the sample number is sequential and does not correspond to a depth). A total of 83 soil samples, including eight duplicates, were collected from the 25 test pits.

All 83 soil samples were analyzed for semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) by EPA Method 8270B. Except for three samples, all of the samples were also analyzed for metals by EPA Method 601 OB/7471. Three samples (TP-3-2, TP-5-1, and TP-5-2) were not analyzed for metals because they were lost in the field.. Twenty-eight of the 83

samples, including three duplicates, were also analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by EPA Method 8260 and pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by EPA Method 8080/8081. Two laboratories were contracted through the EPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) to perform these analyses. Liberty Analytical of Cary, North Carolina performed all organic analyses, and Chemtech of Edison, New Jersey performed the inorganic analyses.


Sampling Results

This section presents a summary of the soil sampling results followed by a comparison with various standards, or action levels. This investigation was designed as a screening investigation to provide a basis for future site activities, including additional investigations and/or cleanup. Thus, the results do not represent a full characterization of site conditions.

The analytical results from the sampling activities conducted by START in November 2000 are presented in Appendix B. As stated in the SAP (E & E 2000b), data validation of all data generated by CLP laboratories are performed by the EPA. For the purposes of this assessment, standard data quality review requirements, including a Tier 1 data validation by CADRE (as defined in the USEPA Region 9 QA Memorandum Documentation of Data Validation Requirements in QAPPs, FSPs, and SAPs), fulfilled the data quality requirements for this project.

6.1 Action Levels To evaluate site conditions, the sampling results were compared with various standards or action levels as screening guidelines. The screening action levels considered in this assessment include:

• Hawaii Administrative Rule Section 11-128-80.1 Tier 1 Action Levels for Soil and Groundwater: Rainfall <200 cm/year (6/99) where Drinking Water Source Not Threatened (Tier 1);

• EPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation Goals (PRGs) for Industrial Soil, October 1999; and

• EPA Soil Screening Levels (SSLs) for DAF20, October 1999.

In order to evaluate if conditions at the site are protective of both groundwater and human health, two sets of action levels were considered in this assessment. Tier 1 and SSLs, which were developed based on protection of groundwater, were used as action levels to evaluate potential soil impacts to groundwater. PRGs were developed

based on protection of human health; thus, they were used to evaluate

potential impacts to human health. These action levels were used as

general guidelines. Ultimate cleanup requirements for the site are

determined by the State. ;

6.2 Discussion of Results A summary of the sampling results are discussed below by the type of analytical test performed.

6.2.1 Metals A total of 80 soil samples were collected from 25 test pits and analyzed for metals. The analytical results are in Appendix B. A summary of the results is presented in Table 6-1. As shown in Table 6-1, metals occur naturally in soil (e.g., 16 of the 24 metals analyzed were detected in 98% or more of the samples). Only antimony, selenium, silver, and thallium were found in less than Vh of the samples as shown in Table 6-1. Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium, which are considered natural salts, occur naturally high in sea water and beach areas. Since these mineral salts were detected in all of the samples at levels typical of natural conditions and there are no action levels for these minerals, they will not be discussed further in this assessment.

For purposes of comparison, location TP-19 was selected to represent site background conditions. Location TP-19 was situated in a relatively undisturbed area of the site (i.e., by the baseball fields) and exhibited no visual evidence of contamination. To identify locations potentially containing elevated concentrations of metals, all of.the sample results were compared with the background sample results from TP-19. Antimony, arsenic, cadmium, selenium, silver, thallium, and cyanide were not detected in the background samples, but were detected at other locations. For the purpose of background comparison, even when a compound was not detected, it was assumed that the compound was detected at a concentration equal to one-half of the laboratory detection limit. Except for mercury and vanadium, all of the metals were detected in at least one sample at a concentration greater than three times the maximum background concentration. Antimony, arsenic, barium, cadmium, copper, and lead were found in at least one sample at a concentration greater than 10 times the maximum background concentration. As shown in Figure 6-1, these six metals were found at elevated concentrations at location TP-10, and three of these metals were elevated at location TP-18.

As shown in Table 6-1, the soil results for metals were also compared



6. Sampling Results

to relevant action levels. Antimony, arsenic, lead, and nickel were detected above their respective SSL action level in several locations southwest of the wastewater treatment plant (see Figure 6-1). Arsenic and lead were found above one or both of their respective action levels in two test pits. The concentration of arsenic exceeded the non-cancer residential PRG of 22 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) at locations TP-10 and TP-18. The highest detected concentration of arsenic was 77.7 mg/kg. The concentration of lead in two samples from TP-10 exceeded the industrial PRG of 750 mg/kg. The highest detected concentration of lead was 11,500 mg/kg.

6.2.2 Semivolatiles A total of 83 soil samples were collected and analyzed for SVOCs. The analytical results are in Appendix B. A summary of the results is presented in Table 6-2. SVOCs include the class of chemicals known as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as well as other SVOCs. In general, PAHs are common chemicals of concern at many hazardous waste sites. PAHs occur most frequently as a result of incomplete combustion. In addition, PAHs are generally considered as a human health concern since several of the PAH compounds exhibit carcinogenic properties. One or more SVOCs were detected in 70% of the samples and in at least one sample from all 25 test pits. As shown in Table 6-2, seventeen PAHs were detected in one or more samples. Pyrene was the most widely distributed PAH (found in 53% of the samples); the highest concentration detected was 1.5 mg/kg, well below its respective action level. Benzo(a)pyrene was the only PAH found at a concentration above its respective action level. As shown in Figure 6-2, benzo(a)pyrene was found above its industrial PRG of 0.3 mg/kg at locations TP-2 and TP-6. The highest detected concentration of benzo(a)pyrene was 0.82 mg/kg.

As shown in Table 6-2, nine other SVOCs were detected. Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate was detected most frequently (i.e., detected in 43% of the samples); it was also found at the highest concentration of any of the SVOCs of 27 mg/kg. Of the nine non-PAH SVOCs, acetophenone was the only one found at a concentration exceeding an action level. Acetophenone was detected at a maximum concentration of 1.9 mg/kg at TP-17 above its industrial PRG of 1.6 mg/kg.

6.2.3 Pesticides/PCBs Twenty eight soil samples, including duplicates, were collected from 25 locations and analyzed for pesticides and PCBs. The analytical results are in Appendix B. A summary of the results is presented in Table 6-3.



6. Sampling Results

Of the pesticides and PCBs analyzed, 13 pesticides and two PCBs were detected. As shown in Table 6-3, one or more pesticides were detected at least once in samples from 19 different locations. Dieldrin was the,only pesticide found above a respective action level. As shown in Figure 6-2, the concentration of dieldrin exceeded its SSL of 0.004 mg/kg at six locations and its industrial PRG of 0.150 mg/kg at locations TP-9 and TP-13. The maximum detected concentration of dieldrin was 0.5 mg/kg. PCBs were detected in samples from 11 of the 25 locations. The highest detected concentration of PCBs was 0.23 mg/kg at location TP-6. No sample exceeded the PCB action level of 1 mg/kg.

6.2.4 Volatiles Twenty eight soil samples, including duplicates, were collected from 25 locations and analyzed for VOCs. The analytical results are in Appendix B. A summary of the results is presented in Table 6-4. Of 48 VOCs analyzed, 10 VOCs were detected. As shown in Table 6-4, toluene was detected most frequently (detected in 27 of the 28 samples). The highest concentration of any VOC detected was methylene chloride at 0.062 mg/kg. Methylene chloride, which is a common laboratory contaminant, was also detected in the laboratory method blanks. In accordance with EPA protocol, only those concentrations of methylene chloride greater than 10 times the concentration in the method blank are considered detected values. Therefore, based on the results of the method blanks, methylene chloride was considered detected in 13 of the 28 samples. Methylene chloride was also the only VOC found above an action level. As shown in Figure 6-2, methylene chloride was found above the SSL action level of 0.02 mg/kg at six locations.

Summary and Conclusion

This Targeted Brownfields Site Assessment was conducted by START for EPA and included environmental sampling of soil in an undeveloped area proposed for a nine-hole golf course at the Sand Island State Park site in Honolulu, Hawaii. This assessment was conducted in response to a request from the State for EPA's assistance to evaluate the environmental conditions at the site in support of future site redevelopment. What follows is a brief summary of the sampling results and conclusion.

7.1 Summary In November 2000, START collected soil samples from 25 test pits throughout the western portion of the site where the development of a nine-hole golf course had been proposed. This area of the site had been the subject of past public dumping activities. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for a variety of contaminants, including metals, semivolatiles, pesticides/PCBs, and volatiles.

In addition to the unsightly trash and debris scattered around the site, the soil was found to contain several contaminants above various screening action levels. Table 7-1 is a summary of the contaminants found above the screening action levels. In addition to the action levels, several metals were found at concentrations at least 10 times above background concentration showing impact from past activities. Antimony, arsenic, lead, and nickel were found above the EPA SSL, indicating a threat to groundwater, and arsenic and lead were above their respective PRGs, indicating a potential human health threat. Of the pesticides, dieldrin was found above the SSL at six locations and above the PRG at two of these locations. Acetophenone and benzo(a)pyrene were the only semivolatiles that were found above their respective PRGs. Methylene chloride was the only VOC found above the SSL in samples from six test pits. At least one contaminant exceeding an action level was found in a sample from 18 of the 25 test pit locations as shown in Figure 7-1.

7.2 Conclusion In conclusion, the findings from this targeted site assessment have confirmed the presence of several contaminants in the soils at the site. Impacted soils must be properly dealt with to minimize potential risk to groundwater, humans, and the environment prior to, or concurrently with, any development of the property. In addition, site-specific cleanup requirements need to be determined prior to site redevelopment. However, based on the proposed land use as a golf course, it is likely that the cleanup requirements will be minimal.

SURROUNDING SITES: SEARCH RESULTS

Surrounding sites were identified.

Elevations have been determined from the USGS 1 degree Digital Elevation Model and should be evaluated on a relative (not an absolute) basis. Relative elevation information between sites of close proximity should be field verified. EDR's definition of a site with an elevation equal to the target property includes a tolerance of +/- 10 feet. Sites with an elevation equal to or higher than the target property have been differentiated below from sites with an elevation lower than the target property (by more than 10 feet). Page numbers and map identification numbers refer to the EDR Radius Map report where detailed data on individual sites can be reviewed.

Sites listed in bold Italics are in multiple databases.

Unmappable (orphan) sites are not considered in the foregoing analysis.

STATE ASTM STANDARD

LUST: The Leaking Underground Storage Tank Incident Reports contain an inventory of reported leaking underground storage tank incidents. The data come from the Department of Health's Active Leaking Underground Storage Tank Log Listing.

A review of the LUST list, as provided by EDR, and dated 01/03/2000 has revealed that there are 6 LUST sites within approximately 0.5 miles of the target property.

CERCLIS-NFRAP: No Further Remedial Action Planned Source: EPA Telephone: 703-413-0223 As of February 1995, CERCLIS sites designated "No Further Remedial Action Planned" (NFRAP) have been removed

from CERCLIS. NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, contamination was removed quickly without the need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or the contamination was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL consideration. EPA has removed approximately 25,000 NFRAP sites to lift the unintended barriers to the redevelopment of these properties and has archived them as historical records so EPA does not needlessly repeat the investigations in the future. This policy change is part of the EPA's Brownfields Redevelopment Program to help cities, states, private investors and affected citizens to promote economic redevelopment of unproductive urban sites.

EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum has been developed to assist the environmental professional with the collection of physical setting source information in accordance with ASTM 1527-00, Section 7.2.3. Section 7.2.3 requires that a current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent, such as the USGS Digital Elevation Model) be reviewed. It also requires that one or more additional physical setting sources be sought when (1) conditions have been identified in which hazardous substances or petroleum products are likely to migrate to or from the property, and (2) more information than is provided in the current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent) is generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice, to assess the impact of migration of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such additional physical setting sources generally include information about the topographic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geologic characteristics of a site, and wells in the area.

Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components:

1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity.

Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata. EDR's GeoCheck Physical Setting Source Addendum is provided to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of potential contaminant migration.

GEOCHECK® - PHYSICAL SETTING SOURCE SUMMARY

GROUNDWATER FLOW DIRECTION INFORMATION

Groundwater flow direction for a particular site is best determined by a qualified environmental professional using site-specific well data. If such data is not reasonably ascertainable, it may be necessary to rely on other sources of information, such as surface topographic information, hydrologic information, hydrogeologic data collected on nearby properties, and regional groundwater flow information (from deep aquifers).

TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Surface topography may be indicative of the direction of surficial groundwater flow. This information can be used to assist the environmental professional in forming an opinion about the impact of nearby contaminated properties or, should contamination exist on the target property, what downgradient sites might be impacted.

ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RECORD SOURCES

According to ASTM E 1527-00, Section 7.2.2, "one or more additional state or local sources of environmental records may be checked, in the discretion of the environmental professional, to enhance and supplement federal and state sources... Factors to consider in determining which local or additional state records, if any, should be checked include (1) whether they are reasonably ascertainable, (2) whether they are sufficiently useful, accurate, and complete in light of the objective of the records review (see 7.1.1), and (3) whether they are obtained, pursuant to local, good commercial or customary practice." One of the record sources listed in Section 7.2.2 is water well information. Water well information can be used to assist the environmental professional in assessing sources that may impact groundwater flow direction, and in forming an opinion about the impact of contaminant migration on nearby drinking water wells.

FORMERLY USED DEFENSE SITES SAND ISLAND MILITARY RESERVATION

SAND ISLAND, HONOLULU, ISLAND OF OAHU, HAWAII SITE NO. H09HI032400

5 AUGUST 1994

SITE NAME(S): Sand Island Military Reservation, also known as Camp Sand Island, Battery Harbor, Quarantine Island, and Rainbow Island.

LOCATION: Sand Island, Honolulu, Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The tax map key is 1-05-041 and site coordinates are 157°53'W longitude, 21°18'30"N latitude. Refer to figures 1 through 7.

SITE HISTORY: The 646.43-acre Sand Island Military Reservation was established in 1916 when the War Department exchanged the Queen Emma Wharf area of Fort Armstrong with the Territory of Hawaii for an estimated 205 acres of the Immigration Station and grounds on Sand Island. Additional acreage was acquired by Presidential Executive Order Nos. 3358, 6584, and 10528 in November 1920, February 1934, and April 1954, respectively. Approximately 0.05 acre was acquired from the Territory of Hawaii through an implied coverage permit in February 1939. A 0.07 acre easement was acquired from Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company, Limited by deed in February 1939. The Federal Works Agency transferred 81.94 acres to the Army by letter in September 1949. An additional 143.82 acres of formerly submerged and reclaimed Territorial (State) land at Sand Island owned by same through eminent domain were formally recognized as part of Sand Island Military Reservation by implied license pursuant to Article XVI of the State Constitution. The military reservation's principal function prior to and during World War I was to facilitate communication between Forts Kamehameha and Armstrong. Defensive reinforcement of Sand Island was accomplished during the 1930s with the installation of four 155 mm guns on Panama mounts, and a .30-caliber concrete pillbox. A four-compound alien internment camp was established in an existing quarantine station in December 1942. Dredged material during the expansion of Honolulu Harbor after the start of World War II doubled the acreage of Sand Island allowing for construction of storehouses, barracks, and the operating headquarters of the United States Army Port and Service Command. Four seven-inch naval broadside guns salvaged from a ship damaged during the Pearl Harbor attack were erected at the military reservation and designated Battery Harbor. Quartermaster supplies and equipment were handled through Sand Island as World War II progressed. At the end of wartime hostilities, surplus equipment and supplies from the Pacific theater were handled at the Sand Island Military Reservation quartermaster depot. The reservation was then designated a sub-post of Fort Shafter and the United States Army Post of Oahu. Approximately 18.40 acres were transferred to the United States Commerce and Treasury Departments prior to World War II by Presidential Executive Order Nos. 6584 and 8527 in February 1934 and August 1940. The balance of Sand Island Military Reservation was conveyed to the Territory of Hawaii, United States Treasury Department, and Overseas Terminal, Limited through various instruments including presidential executive orders, letters of transfer, and quitclaim deeds between July 1946 and February 1965. The last and largest portion of Sand Island Military Reservation, comprising approximately 383.80 acres, was quitclaimed to the State of Hawaii in July 1965. Land within the bounds of the former Sand Island Military Reservation is presently utilized as an intermodal container facility, a United States Coast Guard station, a fishery station, a light industrial area, a municipal wastewater treatment plant, a commercial bulk fuel storage facility, and a state recreation area. Extant remnants of the military reservation include pillboxes, the concrete protective works to a firing range, concrete gun mounts, magazines, and observation towers some of which have been incorporated as features of Sand Island State Recreation Area. An Army-erected boiler house still stands and has been convened into a sheetmetal shop. No OEW is believed to exist on Sand Island as none was discovered during site visits ancillary to this preliminary assessment, and prior to and during construction of Sand Island

State Recreation Area. Additionally, the Special Services Division of the Honolulu Police Department and Army 6th Ordnance Detachment have not received any reports of OEW discovered at Sand Island. Absent also are underground storage tank systems associated with former Army motor pools. And, there is no known hazardous materials contamination resulting from Army activities such as dry cleaning, pain't storage, and petroleum fuels storage.

SITE VISIT: Site visits were conducted on 26 March 1992 by Farley Watanabe (CEPOD-ED-ES), Randall Kurashige (CEPOD-ED-EH), and Ivan Tilgenkamp and Wilbert Chee (Wil Chee -Planning, Inc.); and on 15 January 1994 by Mr. Tilgenkamp, senior UXO supervisor Byron Donaldson (Donaldson Enterprises,!Inc.), and Derek Yasaka (Wil Chee - Planning, Inc.). Military remnants inspected include four gun emplacements and ancillary magazines, and the protective works to a firing range. No OEW was discovered in or around the remnants visually surveyed and toned. The former ammunition magazines presently located within Sand Island State Recreation Area were reportedly devoid of OEW prior to being sealed shut and convened into park features and recreational equipment. Undeveloped land at the former firing range, located west of the State recreation area, has been heavily j disturbed by areal grading coupled with the formation of numerous soil mounds and deposition of construction debris, thus no OEW is evident. Other former Army facilities of concern, t>ut absent of existing remnants, include motor pools, a gasoline dispensing station, a dry cleaning plant, an electrical transformer bank, and paint storage sheds. All have since been demolished and replaced with other activities and businesses including an intermodal container yard, a muni'cipal wastewater treatment plant, a light industrial business complex, and portions of Sand Island State Recreation Area. Site features and conditions at Sand Island were unremarkable with no observed environmental hazards. There being no environmental hazards evident, further action is not required at this site.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION OF ELIGIBILITY




FINDINGS OF FACT

1. Sand Island Military Reservation was established in 1916 when the War Department exchanged

the Queen Emma Wharf area of Fort Armstrong with the Territory of Hawaii for an estimated

205.00 acres of the Immigration Station and grounds on Sand Island located along the south coast

of the island of Oahu, Hawaii.4 An additional 193.00 acres were set aside for military purposes by Presidential Executive Order No. 3358 dated 20 November 1920. Although 8.91 acres were

transferred by the Departments of the Treasury and Commerce by Presidential Executive Order No.

6584 dated 6 February 1934, said instrument transferred 14.32 acres to the Department of

Commerce resulting in a net reduction in the reservation's size to 392.7 acres. Approximately 0.05

acre was acquired from the Territory of Hawaii through an implied coverage permit dated 24

February 1939. A 0.07 acre easement was acquired from Inter-Island Steam Navigation

Company, Limited by deed dated 18 February 1939. The Federal Works Agency transferred

81.94 acres to the Army by letter dated 6 September 1949. The Marginal Wharf Area of Sand

Island, consisting of approximately 27.85 acres, was conveyed to the Army by Presidential

Executive Order No 10528 dated 22 April 1954. An additional 143.82 acres of formerly

submerged and reclaimed Territorial (State) land at Sand Island owned by same through eminent

domain were formally recognized as pan of the military reservation by implied license pursuant to

Article XVI of the State Constitution. Sand Island Military Reservation would eventually

encompass approximately 646.43 acres.7-1 f12

2. Sand Island Military Reservation's principal function prior to and during World War I was to facilitate communication between Forts Kamehameha and Armstrong. Situated between the two forts was a submarine cable which traversed the length of Sand Island. On the island was an appurtenant terminal building.4 Defensive reinforcement of Sand Island was accomplished during the 1930s with the installation of four 155 mm guns on Panama mounts, and a ,30-caliber concrete pillbox.4-9.i2 An internment camp consisting of four compounds, two for males of Japanese decent, one for females of all races, and one for Germans and Italians, was established at an existing quarantine station on Sand Island on 8 December 1942. The quarantine station was selected as it was easily guarded, was close to the Office of the Military Governor, and was able to utilize existing facilities on Sand Island.U.9.i2 World War II prompted the expansion of Honolulu Harbor in anticipation of arriving offensives. Dredged harbor material doubled the acreage of Sand Island allowing for construction of storehouses, barracks, and the operating headquarters of the United States Army Port and Service Command.9 Four seven-inch naval broadside guns salvaged from the USS Minnesota damaged during the Pearl Harbor attack were erected at the Sand Island Military Reservation for harbor defense and designated Battery Harbor.2.4,6,9 The guns were anchor bolted to heavy reinforced concrete block, but not casemated due to the preponderance of anti-aircraft guns in the vicinity. Instead, a concrete parapet about three feet tall with splinterproof ready boxes was placed around each firing platform. Each gun had a splinterproof projectile magazine and a splinterproof powder magazine.4-6^ Quartermaster supplies and equipment were handled through Sand Island as World War II progressed.4 Surplus equipment and supplies from the Pacific theater were handled by the 51st Quartermaster Base Depot at Sand Island Military Reservation as the agency in charge following the end of wartime hostilities.12 Sand Island Military Reservation was then designated a sub-post of Fort Shafter and the United States Army Post of Oahu at the end of the war.4 Remnants of the military reservation include concrete pillboxes and the protective works to a firing range located near the southern tip of Sand Island. Reinforced concrete gun mounts, magazines, and observation towers also continue to exist and have been incorporated as recreational structures for patrons of Sand Island State

Recreation Area. An Army-erected boiler house still stands and has been converted into a

sheetmetal shop. No OEW is believed to exist on Sand Island as none was discovered during site

visits ancillary to this preliminary assessment, and prior to and during construction of Sand Island

State Recreation Area.2.5 Additionally, the Special Services Division of the Honolulu Police

Department and Army 6th Ordnance Detachment have not received any reports of OEW discovered

at Sand Island 2 Absent also are underground storage tank systems associated with Army motor

pools on Sand Island. Area tenants and construction contractors report no evidence of

underground storage tanks on-site.8-^ And, there is no known hazardous materials contamination

resulting from Army activities (e.g., dry cleaning, paint storage, petroleum storage) on Sand

Island.12

3. Presidential Executive Order No. 6584 dated 6 February 1934 transferred 14.32 acres of

military reservation land to the United States Department of Commerce, 9.84 acres of which would

be reacquired by the Army in September 1949. Approximately 44.12 acres were transferred to the

United States Department of Treasury by Presidential Executive Order No. 8527 dated 27 August

1940 (4.08 acres), by Public Land Order 335 dated 23 December 1946 (5.52 acres), by letter dated

26 August 1954 (13.14 acres), and by letter dated 3 February 1965 (21.38 acres). Land conveyed

by the Army to the Territory of Hawaii include 12.10 acres by Presidential Executive Order No.

9752 dated 15 July 1946, 4.29 acres by Presidential Executive Order No. 9860 dated 31 May

1947, 0.05 acre by letter dated 18 December 1956, and 199.52 acres by Presidential Executive

Order No. 10833 dated 20 August 1959. Approximately 2.48 acres were transferred to the

Department of the Navy by letter dated 23 October 1952, but subsequently relinquished to the State

of Hawaii by quitclaim deed in 1965. A 0.07 acre easement was conveyed to Overseas Terminal,

Limited by quitclaim deed dated 29 May 1954. The remaining 383.80 acres were conveyed to the

State of Hawaii by quitclaim deed dated 23 July 1965.7-11 With the exception of a United States

Coast Guard station, land comprising the former Sand Island Military Reservation is presently

under the purview of the State of Hawaii. Facilities thereon include commercial piers, an

intermodal container yard, a fishery station, a City and County of Honolulu wastewater treatment

plant, and bulk fuel storage tanks. Designated areas are also being utilized for businesses engaged

in light industrial activities and for public recreation. The undeveloped southern tip of Sand Island

will be graded flat and convened into a fairground. Other undeveloped parcels at southwestern

Sand Island will be convened into State and County base yards. Sand Island will be fully

developed by the year 2000.5

DETERMINATION

Based on the foregoing findings of fact, the site has been determined to be formerly used by the Department of Defense. It is therefore eligible for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program - Formerly Used Defense Sites established under 10 USC 2701 et seq.

This risk assessment procedure was developed in accordance with MIL-STD 882C and AR 385-10. The RAC score will be used by CEHND to prioritize the remedial action at Formerly Used Defense Sites. The OEW risk assessment should be based upon best available information resulting from records searches, reports of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) detachment actions, and field observations, interviews, and measurements. This information is used to assess the risk involved based upon the potential OEW hazards identified at the site. The risk assessment is composed of two factors, hazard severity and hazard probability. Personnel involved in visits to potential OEW sites should view the CEHND videotape entitled "A Life Threatening Encounter: OEW."

Four seven-inch naval guns were installed at Sand Island Military Reservation following the Pearl Harbor attack. Splinterproof powder and projectile magazines were constructed for each emplacement A firing range was also installed at Sand Island Military Reservation during World War II according to a 21 July 1949 general site plan.

The land on which the gun emplacements and firing range resided was subsequently conveyed to the State of Hawaii by quitclaim deed dated 23 July 1965. The.gun emplacements have since been convened into features of Sand Island State Recreation Area. Attendant powder and projectile magazines are surmised to have been cleared of ordnance by the Army upon vacating the property as all on-site magazines were empty when the State of Hawaii commenced with development of the recreation area. The magazines have been sealed shut if only to prevent vagrant habitation.

Though undeveloped, much earth moving has occurred in and around the former firing range. The site has been graded, and soil has been excavated for use as fill material. One hundred- and 200-yard firing points have also been destroyed, are now covered with scrub vegetation, and are littered with construction debris. An elongate, concrete protective barrier for target operators still stands and represents the only range remnant. The berm on which targets would have been placed has also been destroyed and replaced with mounds of fill material resulting from on-site earth work as well as from the importation of soil from off-site sources. There is no visual evidence of OEW at this site. There are no known newspaper accounts of OEW discovered at the site. And neither the Honolulu Police Department nor Army 6th Ordnance Detachment have received reports of OEW discovered on Sand Island.


TRIP REPORT



SAND ISLAND, HONOLULU, ISLAND OF OAHU, HA WAD SITE NO. H09HI032400

DATES OF SITE VISIT: 26 MARCH 1992 AND 15 FEBRUARY 1994

Participants in the 26 March 1992 site visit of Sand Island Military Reservation included Farley Watanabe (CEPOD-ED-ES), Randall Kurashige (CEPOD-ED-EH), and Ivan Tilgenkamp and Wilbert Chee (Wil Chee - Planning, Inc.).

The team arrived on Sand Island at approximately 0945 hours after crossing Slattery Bridge from Kapalama. Upon entering the site, the team proceeded to the southwestern portion of the former military reservation which presently houses a construction materials base yard operated by Kiewit Pacific. The area is generally open and flat with miscellaneous debris littering the site.

Eastward along Sand Island Parkway is an older industrial area near the City and County of Honolulu's Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. Located within this industrial area are a scrap metal salvager and other small businesses engaged in a variety of activities including vehicular repair. No evidence of the former military reservation was observed.

The team continued along Sand Island Parkway to Sand Island State Recreation Area. Here were observed a number of former Army gun emplacements, splinteiproofed powder and projectile magazines, and an observation tower still in fair to good condition. The structures have been converted by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of State Parks into recreational equipment for park users. Stainless steel sheeting installed over bevelled entry walls to prevent access into the magazines serve dually as sliding boards. Several of the magazines were apparently vandalized with the barricades and slides removed. Visual survey of these magazine interiors revealed the absence of OEW.

Along the eastern border of the park fronting Honolulu Harbor are several vessel moorings of past usage which have been convened into colorful park structures. No other Army structures or debris remain.

At the nonh end of Sand Island is an existing United States Coast Guard (USCG) base, also known as Area 4 Sand Island. West of the USCG base are the Matson Navigation Company and Sea-Land Service piers, and attendant offices, warehouses, and container yards. No evidence of prior DOD usage was observed in this area.

Mr. Tilgenkamp revisited the site on 15 February 1994 accompanied by senior UXO supervisor Byron Donaldson (Donaldson Enterprises, Inc.) and Derek Yasaka (Wil Chee -Planning, Inc.). The team was interested in investigating several facilities demarcated on a 21 July 1949 general site plan of the former Sand Island Military Reservation. They included a firing range, a gasoline station, motor pools, paint storage warehouses, a laundry, and a dry cleaning plant.

The site reconnaissance commenced at the southernmost end of Sand Island State Recreation Area characterized by an open grass lawn leading to a sand beach. Southwest of the grass lawn is an asphaltic concrete parking lot beyond which are large piles of soil interspersed with scrub coastal vegetation and kiawe trees. At the south end of the parking lot is a public comfort station situated at the edge of the sand beach. On the beach were observed three concrete pillbox remnants measuring approximately eight feet square by three and one-half feet tall. It appears as if the pillboxes were originally situated elsewhere and deliberately deposited on the beach just prior or subsequent to installation closure. The structures are positioned in a random, unorderly fashion and either listing to one side or upended.

TRIP REPORT




DATES OF SITE VISIT: 26 MARCH 1992 AND 15 FEBRUARY 1994 (continuation)

On a raised coral outcrop between the pillbox remnants and the ocean are numerous rusted, steel Marston matting sections, reportedly used for expeditionary runway construction. The sections are neatly stacked upright side by side to form a single row extending from the sand beach to the seaward end of the outcrop. The outcrop appears to be submerged during high tide or subject to coverage by wave action as a calcareous growth has both cemented the sections together as well as to said outcrop.

Observed approximately 400 feet offshore from Sand Island's southernmost point are several concrete pillboxes which appear to have been placed there as a breakwater. Situated along what was formerly Keehi Lagoon Seaplane Runway "D," the pillboxes are roughly aligned in a northeast-southwest orientation.

Approximately 400 hundred feet inland of the southernmost point, and seaward of the City and County of Honolulu's Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, is a heavily disturbed area consisting of large mounds of ground coral, imported soil, and mixtures thereof. The site is presently utilized as a temporary storage area for fill material to be distributed as needed to State of Hawaii capital improvement project sites. When queried about the continued existence of a known distance firing range, an equipment operator interviewed by the team described the area as having been extensively graded, therefore no vestiges of the former military reservation would be found. With his permission, the team continued its visual reconnaissance of the area bearing inland (northward) toward the wastewater treatment plant. Discovered after traveling approximately 100 feet further inland was the target end of the former military reservation's firing range. The elongate reinforced concrete structure is estimated to be 200 feet long, is oriented lengthwise from east to west, and is in sound condition. It consists of a four-foot wide by five-inch thick overhang, approximately eight feet above ground surface, along the length of the structure such that a cross section of said structure would resemble an inverted "L" with the horizontal leg pointing seaward. The date "5/28/45" is inscribed on a corner at the east end of the structure suggesting the firing range was installed at that time.

According to Mr. Donaldson, an earthen berm, on which at least 50 firing targets were placed, would have been constructed along the seaward face of the concrete structure. Target operators would stand behind the vertical wall and beneath the overhang, raising and lowering targets as well as signaling firing results to riflers. The berm has since been displaced by areal grading and by the temporary emplacement of the previously described mounds of fill material. Small arms projectiles were not discovered in the vicinity of the concrete structure.

Mr. Donaldson also surveyed the firing points reportedly situated 100 and 200 yards inland of the target. Because of prior grading and terrain alteration, no evidence of the firing points could be found. The area is strewn with discarded construction debris, derelict automobiles, and miscellaneous non-OEW metallic debris.

The team then proceeded to the four gun emplacements and ancillary ammunition magazines initially visited by CEPOD and Wil Chee - Planning personnel. Interior access to most of the magazines continues to be prevented by fill material in the entrances. The entrance to at least one magazine was unobstructed, but whose door had been secured with spot welds to the steel plate door and frame, and a keyed padlock inserted in the door/frame surface bracket. Visual survey and

TRIP REPORT





areal toning of the site by Mr. Donaldson failed to detect the presence of OEW in and around the former ammunition magazines. Subsequent inquiry with the Division of State Parks confirmed the absence of OEW in alt the ammunition magazines at Sand Island State Recreation Area. The magazines were reportedly already empty when the Division of State Parks commenced with development of the recreation area. OEW was not discovered during construction of the recreation area or during alteration of the existing military structures such as the gun emplacements and ammunition magazines.

According to the above mentioned July 1949 general site plan, motor pools, a. laundry, a dry cleaning plant, and paint storage sheds were situated throughout the former Sand Island Military Reservation. These facilities, were located within the eastern (100 and 200 series buildings as designated by the Army), central (500 series buildings), and northern (600 series buildings) portions of Sand Island as were most of the industrial activities at the military reservation (refer to figures 3 through 7).

The eastern end of Sand Island presently consists of a light industrial area dominated by construction and demolition contractor base yards in addition to refuse disposal base yards, a towing company impoundment, sheet metal shops, an automobile parts salvager, automobile body and fender shops, and heavy equipment repair shops. A perimeter six-foot tall chain link fence borders the industrial area to the south and east separating it from Sand Island State Recreation Area. An Army motor pool (Buildings 202-206) formerly resided at the east end of the installation near the entrance to extant Sand Island State Recreation Area. Except for two concrete structures and a concrete floor slab surmised to be either repair shop, machine shop, or wash rack remnants, the area is devoid of any evidence suggestive of a motor pool once occupying the site. The two erect concrete structures have been modified into park recreational equipment. The floor slab provides the base to a wood frame pavilion. Landscaping consists of a grass lawn with stands of coral or tiger claw trees. The vegetation did not appear to be stressed and no ground staining or discoloration was observed.

A gasoline pumping station (Building 207) also reportedly existed at this motor pool. The team estimated the pumping station would have resided outside and west of the extant State recreation area within what is presently the Tajiri Lumber base yard located at the end of Ekolu Way. According to Raymond Tajiri, company owner, Tajiri Lumber has been occupying the site for the past five or six years. The site was previously unoccupied and supported a dense growth of weeds and tall grasses. Mr. Tajiri explained that neither he nor his employees discovered any evidence of underground storage tanks since occupying the premises. He further explained that Tajiri Lumber has not installed any underground storage tanks on-site. The company did, however, install three aboveground fuel storage tanks of varying volumetric capacities to fuel its fleet of vehicles. The three tanks are situated within a concrete and CMU block berm affording secondary containment. On-site structures erected by the company include a maintenance shop at the east end of the property and an administrative office at the entrance to the base yard to the west. The remainder of the property is covered with miscellaneous demolition debris.

TRTP REPORT





It is surmised that any underground storage tank system, installed by the Army at the site, was previously removed as there was no evidence observed during this site visit to indicate its continued existence. The lack of any remnants of the pumping station or tank systems (e.g., underground storage tank fill/vent pipes, fuel dispensers, dispenser platforms) discovered during clearance of the site also supports this conclusion. Furthermore, the motor pool and gasoline pumping station do not appear nor are listed on a February 1953 general site plan of Sand Island Military Reservation. Toning for subsurface tanks or piping was not attempted by the team due to interference from the numerous metallic objects scattered about the Tajiri Lumber base yard, in addition to extensive piles of salvaged demolition debris covering both the base yard and a neighboring property to the south.

Ideal Construction, Inc. is presently installing a subsurface sewer pipeline at the parcel neighboring Tajiri Lumber to the north. A representative of the firm informed Mr. Yasaka that excavation to 12 feet below grade did not uncover any underground storage tanks or piping. There have been no encounters with free product, oil sheens, hydrocarbon odors, or unusual discoloration within the excavated areas.

Just west of the Tajiri Lumber base yard were several Army industrial shops and storage sheds (Buildings 101-117), a laundry (Building 120), a boiler house (Building 121) and a dry cleaning plant (Building 122). The area is currently undergoing extensive renovation with the installation of paved roads, underground utilities, and street lighting. Commercial warehouses, administrative offices, and base yards have since displaced all but one of the Army-erected structures. There is no known residual contamination that can be linked to the former dry cleaning plant at Sand Island. According to an engineer with the Hawaii Department of Health, Safe Drinking Water Branch contacted after the site visit, all Sand Island tenants, including the USCG installation, are serviced by Honolulu Board of Water Supply for its potable water. The water is piped to the island from source wells on Oahu. There are no drinking water wells on record that are located at Sand Island, therefore ground water is not monitored at the island.

The boiler house represents the last vestige of Sand Island Military Reservation. Timber framing, and corrugated sheet metal siding and roof panels supported on a concrete slab on grade represent the original materials of construction and design of this building as erected by the Army. It is presently being leased from the State of Hawaii by Local Sheetmetal, Inc. According to a company representative whose name was not obtained, Local Sheetmetal has been leasing the site for approximately 14 years. The previous tenant was a paper recycler who would incinerate waste paper in the boiler house stack. The boiler stack section under cover beneath the building's roof are well preserved, but the exterior section above the roof line is rusting. Asbestos insulation was not observed neither on or in the boiler stack nor on any ancillary piping or valves.

Army motor pools, paint storage sheds, industrial shops, and other 500- and 600-series buildings located at northern and central Sand Island, respectively, have all been demolished. These facilities have since been replaced with steamship company offices, warehouses, and intermodal container yards. Matson Navigation Company and Sea-Land Service currently occupy Sand Island west of the USCG installation to Slattery Bridge, and north of Sand Island Parkway Road encompassing piers 51, 52, and 53. Asphaltic concrete covers the property from Sand Island Parkway Road north to the waterfront. The site is devoid of any military remnants.

TRIP REPORT





A transformer bank denoted on the July 1949 general site plan also no longer exists. The electrical equipment was formerly located near the USCG installation along the north edge of a Sand Island Military Reservation main thoroughfare, which approximates the lineality of Sand Island Parkway Road. Visual inspection of the transformer bank's approximate location failed to detect any evidence of the equipment. Except for the absence of roadside vegetation likely caused by repeated vehicle traversal and soil compaction, plant communities along Sand Island Parkway Road approximately where the transformer bank was located did not appear stressed. Anomalous ground surface staining or discoloration was likewise not evident

Site features and conditions at Sand Island were unremarkable with no observed environmental hazards. Further action at the site does not appear necessary.

RE: SAND ISLAND MILITARY RESERVATION/BATTERY HARBOR UXO SITE VISIT (TJXO).

On 2-15-94 a site visit was conducted at the site of the former Sand Island Military Reservation/Battery Harbor. The site is currently a State Park and public recreation area. A visual walk through survey was conducted to search for surface OEW/UXO contamination. A Foerster MK-26 Fluxgate magnetometer was utilized to search for subsurface anomalies which might indicate the presence of subsurface OEW/UXO.

A portion of what appears to be the protective works for at least a 50 target range was discovered at te Ewa end of the park during the site visit. The search for the 100 and 200 yard firing points was conducted without success. This was due in part to the fact that the area has had a lot of fill dirt and broken concrete brought in and moved around with a bulldozer. Due to the large amount metal (Cars,tons of rebar and trash) the magnetometer couldn't be utilized effectively. A visual search of the entire former firing range was conducted in an attempt to locate bazooka tail fins, rifle grenade safety pins, Garand clips with negative results. At the Diamond Head end of the Park most of what is

Battery Harbor was located virtually intact except the guns. The magazine areas appear to have been welded shut and covered with dirt. A magnetometer sweep was conducted in and around the four (4) gun positions previously visited by Wil Chee Planning. A considerable amount of electrical wires, rebar and sprinklers were located but no oew/uxo were visually or located with the MK—26. A check with Capt. Shivers of the 6th EOD Detachment and

Sgt Hanzawa of the HPD Bomb Squad indicate that no recent discoveries of OEW/UXO has been reported.

/SIMR

In discussions with the Department of Land and Natural Resources about inspections prior to turning the magazines over to the state of Hawaii, Mr. Clyde Hosokawa stated that these magazines (14 Total) were empty prior to them being sealed up and covered with soil. During a magnetometer search of four magazines it appears they may still contain voids. No paperwork certifying the magazines free of hazards from the U.S. Army has been located to date.

KEEPING one's clothing spic and span in the warm Hawaiian climate is a perennial difficulty growing out of life in the sub-tropics. Difficult enough for a civilian, it becomes magnified for military and air force personnel whose cleanliness and neat appearance are a service "must."

Today at Sand Island in Honolulu harbor the serviceman's needs are being met inexpensively, efficiently, and on a mass basis by a modern up-to-the-minute laundry and dry cleaning plant. Operated by civilians and supplemented by enlisted men of the 527th Quartermaster Service Platoon, they serve all five posts of the South Sector Command and air force installations as well. When military personnel and their dependents pass through Hawaii on transports, the facilities of the laundry and dry cleaning plant are available to them while the ship is in port.

. The Sand Island laundry is one of two hundred forty-two quartermaster-operated establishments set up by the army during the war years in all parts of the world. When it first opened its doors in October 1945, the plant was equipped with the latest machinery capable of turning °ut ten thousand bundles of clothing a week. At one time it handled the garments of fifty-two thousand men.

Troops in Hawaii wearing the lightweight, washable khaki uniforms place a heavier load on an army laundry than on the Mainland. There, wool clothing is worn a number of months out of the year, thus increasing the load on dry cleaning plants. Still, at Sand Island, more than two hundred seventy thousand articles of clothing were cleaned and pressed in the dry cleaning plant during 'he first year of operation following its opening in May 1946.

At the present time one hundred forty-nine civilians are running the plants, along with twenty-one eidisted men. Until December 1946, Japanese prisoners of war worked alongside of enlisted men, and some civilians. All were supervised by experienced foremen and floor-ladies in each department.

Since the war the work load has naturally fallen off, owing to the reduction of the armed forces in the Territory. In spite of high labor and material costs today, the Quartermaster Corps has reduced prices on laundry for enlisted men to two dollars monthly, or seventy cents per bundle. The soldier averages four bundles in a month.

At the present time forty-five hundred bundles a week are being received at the laundry. This figure includes laundry which is flown in once a week by Military Air Transport from Johnston Island.

Each post of the South Sector Command is responsible for the delivery of the laundry of its respective personnel. When bundles come in, they are set up into lots of sixty-four each, where they are marked and segregated according to the type of clothing being sent to the wash room. Leaving the washers, the clothing is dried in extractors and tumblers. In the case of khakis, they are removed from the extractors while still damp in order to produce a better pressing job. Sheets and flat work are dried and pressed at the same time, while being run through the flat work ironers, an efficient time saving operation.

The dry cleaning plant at Sand Island is rated as the third largest of its kind in the army, with the very latest cleaning methods in practice. Operations here are highly skilled, for the personnel is working with silks, satins and other delicate fabrics. Recently the plant instituted a pickup and delivery service for dry cleaning among all posts of South Sector. Service is available to all officers and their dependents, and to the first three graders and their dependents who have opened a cash deposit account with the plant. In addition, service to the navy is provided.

The pressing department uses thirty-six combination steam end vacuum presses in addition to a puff iron, to insure a much higher degree of workmanship than previously. For trousers, two Cissell Trouser Form units, operated by air and steam are used to stretch pants to the desired length and size.

Management of the laundry and dry cleaning plant today is in the hands of capable technicians. The superintendent is George Fleming, with twenty-six years experience in government laundries. Under him is the floor superintendent, George Ferreira, with twenty-three years, experience. Chief Clerk is Kiyoshi Yuhara, a veteran of eighteen years, service in Hawaii. In charge of the opera-

. tions of the 527th Quartermaster Service Platoon is 1st Lt. Richard Metzger, assisted by Sgt. 1st Class Wallace Collier.

APPENDIX A

A HISTORY OF SAND ISLAND

OAHU, HAWAII (1825-1966)

Sand Island, also known as Anuenue Island or Quarantine Island,

is a low, level land area on the southern coast of the island of Oahu,

facing Mamala Bay. The island lies between the Honolulu Harbor and

Kalihi Channels. Its approximate longitude and latitude is 157° 54' 27"

to 157° 52« 51" - 21° 18' 5" to 21° 19' l" (U.S. Coast and Geodetic

Survey, 1972).

In 1825, the location consisted of a reef platform which extended

seaward to the approximate seaward boundary of the current Sand Island.

On the Ewa (westerly) side, this reef platform was bounded by a cut

through the fringing reef which has been developed into the Kalihi

Channel and which was probably caused by fresh water from the Kalihi

and Kahauiki Streams. On the Diamond Head (easterly) side, the reef

platform was bounded by a cut through the fringing reef resulting from

the fresh water run-off of the Nuuanu Stream. This cut has been

developed into the entrance channel to Honolulu Harbor (Paradise of the

Pacific, 1898; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1918; The Propellor

Club of the United States, 1967).

The seaward portion of the reef was covered by water at half-flood

tide but was dry at low tide. During low tide, it was recorded that

"the lower orders of the natives get from it a considerable part of their

daily subsistence, consisting of small fish, left in ponds, crabs, shell

fish, etc. " (Maiden, 1825). The interior portion of the reef was

protected from the surf by rocks. This area, reportedly, was never

quite dry, and during high tides, canoes plyed back and forth as far as

Pearl Locks. Two dry land areas existed on the reef, both on the Ewa

(westerly) side. The mauka (closest to shore) area was called Sandy

Island. The makai (seaward) area was called Hut Island (Maiden, 1825).

In 1840, William Sumner, a seafaring man was granted a farmland

to the west of Honolulu known as Kahaohao (Coll, 1937) by King

Kamehameha III in recognition of services. This grant was confirmed

by Land Claim 153, Land Commission, 1849. Seaward of this farm,

Sumner was granted a fishery on the 647 Diamond Head acres of the

reef lying between the Kalihi and Honolulu Harbor Channels. This area

carried the Hawaiian name of Kaholaloa (Kahololoa, Kaholoa) (Alexander,

1885).

The Ewa portion of this reef was designated Mokauea. In both

portions there were small islands of varying sizes, shapes and elevation

(Alexander, 1885). By 1856, Sumner's plot was registered under the

names William and John Sumner (Alexander, 1908).

Construction of the first lighthouse in the Hawaiian Islands started

* in 1858. It was located in the neck of the Honolulu Harbor Channel, just

off the reef of Kaholaloa. This light operated intermittently until 1869

A 2

when it went into regular operation (Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1934).

In December 1868, the vessel "Idaho" arrived from San Francisco

with a pantry boy ill from small pox. The quarantining of the "Idaho"

was inept, to say the least. Crew members and cabin class passengers

were allowed ashore in Honolulu although they were probably the most

exposed to the disease. Unloading of the vessel was permitted with

stevedoring crews allowed on and off without disinfecting procedures

being employed. Fifteen people, including the pantry boy, one other

ill passenger and all steerage passengers (who were probably the least

exposed) were put ashore on the reef of Kaholaloa. The public furor

that followed this incident was so great that, in February 1869, King

Kamehameha Ill's government leased the island of Kamokuakulikuli,

which was a small sand spit on the reef of Kahololoa, for use as a

quarantine detention post. Quarantine criteria in those days appears

to have been thus: if a vessel arrived in the islands after having been

at sea 15 days with no sickness worse than mal-de-mer aboard, she

was considered uncontaminated and debarking and unloading could com

mence immediately; if the vessel had not been at sea 15 days, or if a

contagious disease was aboard, quarantine and disinfecting procedures

had to be initiated (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, A, B, C, 1869).

By 1885, Kamokuakulikuli Island was titled the "Quarantine

* Ground". It consisted of an irregular patch of ground about 2' above

sea level with several buildings erected on it. One of these was

A 3

designated the small pox hospital.

Along the Honolulu Harbor side of the reef of Kahaloloa was the

lighthouse, Sumner's house and a cattle wharf (see Map 1) (Alexander,

1885). The surface of the reef platform was described as mud and

stones, and uncovered at low water (U.S. Hydrographic Office, 1882).

Landward of the reef was a series of fish ponds, some of which, such

as Kapalama and Iwilei, have given their names to sections of modern

Honolulu (Alexander, 1885).

By 1888, Kamokuakulikuli Island was known as "Quarantine

Island". The land area had increased but was still of irregular shape.

A pier and tramway connected the island with Honolulu Harbor. A ford

for carriages connected the island to the City of Honolulu, crossing

what is now the inner harbor (turning basin) which at that time was

partially dry at low water (U. S. Hydrographic Office, 1888).

In 1890, a new lighthouse was built along the edge of the reef of

Kahololoa, replacing the one built in 1858. In the new lighthouse, the

light was 26' above water level (Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1934).

In 1901, a marine hospital was established by the U.S. Public

Health Service on Quarantine Island. This hospital continued in opera

tion until the quarantine area was taken over by the Army in December

1941 (The Propellor Club of the United States, 1967).

In 1902, title to 550 acres of land including Quarantine Island and

the Kahololoa section of the reef passed to the United States government

A 4

(Coll, 1937; Thrum, 1915). This was the result of an agreement between

the United States, the Oahu Railway and Land Company, and the Dowsett

Estate Company (possibly Land Patent #8150). This agreement desig- .

nated the area known as the "Reserved Channel" (Thrum, 1915). At the

time the title passed. Quarantine Island reportedly measured only two

acres (The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, 1911).

Prior to 1 July 1904, all harbor construction had been performed

by the monarchial, republican or territorial governments of Hawaii.

By 1904, a 200" wide channel with a depth of 35', a harbor of 64 acres

with a general width of 800', a minimum depth of 27', and a length of

3, 500' had been developed (Corps of Engineers, 1935). Most or all of

the spoils from dredging had been used to develop the Diamond Head or

mauka sides of the harbor.

The first Congressional authorization for improvement of Honolulu

Harbor was contained in Act 3, March 1905. This authorized a channel

entrance 35' deep and 400' wide, deepening of the inner harbor to 35'

with a general width of 1, 200', and easing the curve where the entrance

channel joins the inner harbor by cutting off Lighthouse Point on Sand

Island (U.S. War Department, 1905).

Concurrent with these harbor improvements came the filling of

Quarantine Island. The development of its oval shape of approximately

* 50 acres was completed in Fiscal Year 1906. The filled oval was

surrounded by a 3' high reinforced concrete retaining wall. The land

A 5

was graded from 3' high at the wall to about 6' along the central ridge.

The fill was spoils provided by a hydraulic dredge.

By 1907, a causeway connected the island to a quarantine wharf

along Honolulu Harbor. A structure still designated as Sumner's stood

inland along the Honolulu Harbor side of the reef. Reclaimed land was

starting to appear adjacent to Honolulu. A strip of reclaimed land

appeared southeast of Quarantine Island but separated from it on the

Honolulu Harbor edge of the reef. The remainder of the reef was

reportedly composed of mud and stones and was dry at low water (see

Map 2 and U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, 1907).

By 1908, the Quarantine Station consisted of two major areas;

one, Quarantine Island, and two, the Quarantine Wharf. It was the

largest United States quarantine station in service at that time, and

could accommodate 2, 255 persons with ample room for expansion

through use of a tent camp. Quarantine Island was divided into five

functional areas: an administrative area at the Diamond Head end, a

saloon or cabin class passenger area in the middle, an European

steerage area, an Oriental area, and the Army tent camp. The'latter

three were all at the Ewa end adjacent to space available for erecting

additional tents if needed (U. S. Public Health and Marine Hospital

Service, 1909; the-Pacific Commercial Advertiser, 1911).

At that time, there were 39 buildings on Quarantine Island.

Support buildings consisted of a two story administration building, the

A 6

pharmacist's cottage, attendant's quarters, pilot's and engineer's

quarters, and quarters for the Chinese attendants and Japanese laborers.

Two hospitals existed; a contagious unit with 14 beds plus 3 isolation

wards with 2 beds each, and a non-contagious unit with 4 beds. There

was also a crematorium. Cabin class quarters accommodated 75 pas

sengers and contained a kitchen and dining room. The Oriental barracks

could accommodate 600 and also had cooking facilities. European steer

age passengers could be accommodated in three barracks, each billeting

100 passengers. The camp for troops consisted of 100 raised tent

platforms 14' by 15', intended to fit a regulation Army hospital tent.

This camp could accommodate 1, 250 troops.

An 8' wide causeway connected the station to the quarantine wharf

on the edge of Honolulu Harbor. A runway was built above the causeway

on concrete piers. This was about a half mile long, and on it a 30"

gauge track was laid. Six cars operated on this railroad.

The quarantine wharf was 310' long and 80' wide. At the north end

of the wharf, a slip was provided for the quarantine launch "Oahu", and

this also served as a boat landing. On the west side of this slip was a

large storeroom and workshop; on the east side, a two story building

with an office for the pilot and engineer on the second floor, and on the

first floor dormitories for the firemen and deck hands. At the southern

» end of the wharf, three tanks were mounted. They were a fresh water

tank, a salt water tank, and a tank for a mercury bichloride solution.

A 7

A pipe from this latter tank lay across the entire front of the wharf

with fittings to which rubber hoses could be connected for ship

decontamination.

On the wharf there was a quarantine shed 150' long and 60' wide

with an iron roof. The shed was divided into the receiving room,

disinfecting room, undressing room, bathroom, and waiting room.

All steerage passengers, upon landing, were taken with their baggage

to the receiving room. The men were segregated from the women and

children, and all were separated from their baggage. The men were

first taken to the undressing room where each man received a numbered

sack and a tag with a corresponding number. ' The attendants saw that

each man took off and sacked his clothes and hung the tag around his

neck. The men then passed to the bathroom, 32 at a time. The bath

room was arranged in the shape of a "U". Two gates at the legs of the

"U" gave entrance and a gate at the top provided exit. The floor was a

zinc lined "V" shaped chute. Overhead, a 3" pipe was tapped for 32

salt water showers. "Salt water is used entirely for bathing purposes

and is here ideal for the purpose, because it is not only mildly antisep

tic, but in this climate its temperature is never below 65°F, and, in

fact, is always warmer than tap water. " The chute was 4'6" high and

on either side at 41 height were 1|" pipes pierced at 6" intervals for a

lateral spray. Drainage was through the wharf floor. When in use,

the spray was turned on and off to allow each person to soap themselves.

A 8

The water was then turned on to wash the soap off. Five minutes was

sufficient for each group; 348 persons could be bathed in an hour.

While the passengers were showering, the clothes bags were placed in a

steam chamber at 240°F. for a half hour. The passengers were given a

towel and kimono, and their clothing was returned to them in the waiting

room. Umbrellas, hats, shoes, and such articles which could not be

passed through the steam chamber without injury were treated sepa

rately with a formaldehyde gas. The women and children followed the

men through the showers. Upon completion of the processing, passen

gers were transported to Quarantine Island. The ship's crew and

steerage baggage followed and were similarly treated. The vessel's

interior was fumigated with sulphur and the decks were washed down

with bichloride solution. (U. S. Public Health and Marine Hospital

Service, 1909)

A new concrete lighthouse, built by the U. S. Lighthouse Service,

was commissioned in February 1910. It was in approximately the same

location as the 1890 lighthouse which was demolished. The new light

was 39' above water level (Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1934).

The mission of the Quarantine Station at the end of June 1910 was

fourfold: quarantine, plague preventive measures, immigration

inspection, and marine-hospital relief. Although the tentage area

* still permitted expansion, the number of persons that could be accom

modated in barracks was reduced to 1, 955 individuals.

A 9

As an example of the annual activity of the Quarantine Station

10 vessels suspected of carrying contagious diseases arrived in

Honolulu from 1 July 1909 to 30 June 1910. The steamer "Korea",

from the Orient, had a suspected case of plague in steerage. The

steerage passengers for Honolulu were held at the Quarantine Station

for seven days, and the usual disinfecting procedures were performed.

Subsequently, the suspected organism proved not to be plague. The

U.S.N, cruiser "Washington" arrived with two cases of small pox

among the crew. The two sick men and two corpsmen were transferred

to the station isolation wards. One of the small pox victims died. The

steamer "Makura" arrived from Australia with a case of small pox in

steerage. Because the case had not been properly isolated aboard

ship, it was necessary to quarantine the second class passengers as

well as the steerage passengers for 14 days. The vessel was held at

the Quarantine Wharf. No new cases of small pox broke out and the

"Makura" sailed for Vancouver on the 15th day. The "Tamon Maru"

from Japan via the Ocean and Pleasant Islands had a death at sea. The *

body had been thrown overboard, but cholera was suspected. On the

day of arrival, two seamen fell sick, and one seaman had diarrhea.

The three sick seamen were moved to isolation wards, the ship was

disinfected and then anchored well outside the harbor with all on board

* for 5 days. The steamer "Mongolia" arrived from the Orient with a

case of small pox in steerage. The case had been properly isolated,

A 1 0

so the "Mongolia" was taken to the Quarantine Wharf and the patient to

the isolation ward. Three hundred ninety-six passengers and their

effects, as well as considerable bedding, were transferred to the wharf

for disinfecting. The passengers were held overnight while their

quarters on the steamer were disinfected. The next morning, the

continuing passengers were put on board and the "Mongolia" sailed.

In the spring of 1910, the "Mongolia" arrived again from the Orient

with a history of chicken pox and small pox among its passengers. The

ship was held in quarantine for 3 days, but was released when no new

cases developed. The "Albatross" arrived from Yokohama with one

crew member down with small pox and another suspiciously sick. Both

were removed to isolation wards, the ship quarantined, the crew vac

cinated and the ship was then allowed to depart. The "Nippon Maru"

arrived from the Orient with 233 passengers for Honolulu, including

121 Russians. Four days after arrival, 3 cases of plague were dis

covered among the Russians at the immigration station. With the help

of the Board of Health, all the Russians and Filipinos arriving on the

"Nippon Maru" were rounded up and taken to the quarantine station. One

plague case died. The other passengers, after being detained 9 days,

were released (U.S. Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, 1911).

By 1911, the quarantine station had a recreational area for cabin

class passengers including a track which enclosed a baseball field and

tennis courts, and electricity had been provided the island (the Pacific

Commercial Advertiser, 1911).

The need for the military detention camp in conjunction with the

quarantine station was obviated in 1915 with the establishment of a

quarantine camp at Schofield Barracks. Military personnel arriving on

practically every transport that year had been exposed to measles and

mumps (Addieman, n. d. ).

The quarantine wharf was dismantled and removed in 1916 (U.S.

Public Health Service, 1918).

By Congressional Act 8, August 1917, the Act of 1905 was

amended to authorize the dredging of an area 35' deep, 800' wide, 1,000'

long, along the Reserved Channel (Corps of Engineers, 1918).

As of 1919, 57 structures were reported on Quarantine Island.

(See Table II. ) The island was divided into areas. The Diamond Head

end, including the executive building, surgeon's quarters, 4 other

quarters, the bath house, hospital and isolation wards, was fenced off

from the rest of the island. The European steerage quarters were

fenced off from the other areas and were separated as well from the

Oriental steerage quarters by a large open air dining hall. A road, lying

between what are now Piers 28 and 29, replacing the carriage ford,

connected the Diamond Head end of the island with the City of Honolulu.

Groves of Australian ironwood trees had been planted and were

flourishing in place of kiawe trees which had been cut down (Honolulu

Advertiser, 1919).

President Woodrow Wilson, by Executive Order 3358, set aside

the bulk land known, as Sand Island and Quarantine Island for military

purposes under the control of the War Department (Wilson, 1920). As

of November 24, 1920, Sand Island was entered on the rolls of military

installations in the Territory of Hawaii (U. S. Army Support Command,

Hawaii, n. d. ).

Although Sand Island had been placed on the Army's rolls of

installations, the Surgeon General apparently appealed the Executive

Order. He claimed these lands, mostly covered by water at high tide «

surrounding both the-quarantine wharf and the detention barracks,

constituted an integral part of the Quarantine Station. The loss of

these lands would affect both proper isolation and the handling of

infected vessels. In January 1923, the Attorney General of the United

States confirmed the War Department's jurisdiction over these lands

previously controlled and occupied by the Public Health Service (U. S.

Public Health Service, 1923).

In 1925 and 1926, when private interests, in order to handle fresh

pineapple, dredged two channels 100' wide, 20' deep, and 2, 800' long,

first on the mauka side of Kalihi Channel into Kapalama Basin, and

second, from Honolulu Harbor into Kapalama Basin, Sand Island was,

A 1 5

for the first time, completely surrounded by water (State of Hawaii,

1925; State of Hawaii, 1926; Corps of Engineers, 1927).^

In 1926, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers reported all work on.

Honolulu Harbor, authorized by the 1905 and 1917 Acts combined, had

been completed (Corps of Engineers, 1926).

In July 1926, the lighthouse on Sand Island was decommissioned

and the light relocated to the Aloha Tower. The lighthouse remained

standing until May 1934 when it was demolished during enlargement of

Honolulu Harbor (Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1934).

1927 was the last time the quarantine station was used for

quarantine purposes. This occurred when an epidemic of meningitis

and small pox was brought with steerage passengers arriving from the

Orient (Coll, 1937).

Army records list Sand Island as a military installation in 1928

under the command of the Commanding Officer, Ft. Shafter. However,

no troops were permanently assigned to Sand Island (Addieman, n. d. ).

December 1, 1928, the Corps of Engineers opened bids on the

removal of 80, 000 cubic yards of material from the inner harbor to

give this area a uniform <1 pth of 35'. The bids also included the

removal of a corner of Sand Island to provide a turning basin (Honolulu

Advertiser, 1928).

By 1929, the quarantine station had fallen into a state of disrepair.

A report of that year described the station:

A 1 6

"All buildings at the Quarantine Station are old, some having been

used for quarantine purposes in the days of the monarchy. They are

wooden structures and so badly damaged by termites that little more

than a shell remains of many of them. Minor repairs, such as replace

ment of steps, timbers, and floors have to be constantly made for the

sake of safety, but no extensive repairs or alterations have been under

taken. Destruction of practically all of the buildings now standing and

replacement with termite resistant buildings will be necessary in the

near future. " (U.S. Public Health Service, 1929)

In June 1930, the Federal government announced that the land

. reserved for federal use at Sand Island was to be returned to the

Territory of Hawaii by the War Department under a revocable license.

The Territory planned to plant coconut trees and otherwise beautify the

island.

By Act 3, July 1930, the United States Congress authorized the

construction of a channel 3, 000' long, 3001 wide and 35' deep along the

mauka side of the Reserved Channel area (Corps of Engineers, 1931).

Congressional Act 30, August 1935 authorized the widening of the

Honolulu Harbor entrance channel to 500' and deepening it to 40'.

Lighthouse Point was to be removed as well as a strip 320' wide cut

off Sand Island. This work was completed in 1935. Further, the

* revetment of the shore of Sand Island and the demolishing- and removing

of existing governmental facilities on Sand Island was also completed

A 1 7

(Corps of Engineers, 1935).

Between 1905 when the United States government began improve

ments of Honolulu Harbor, and 1935, the Federal government spent

approximately $3, 905, 000 on this work (Corps of Engineers, 1935).

As part of the work done, much material was dredged from the Honolulu

Harbor channel on both maintenance and improvement projects. The

quantity of material removed between 1929 and 1936 is shown in

Table III.

At least some of this spoil was deposited on Sand Island, but how much

is not known.

In 1935, Sand Island had 3, 200 linear feet of unimproved frontage

on Honolulu Harbor and the entrance channel. This frontage was

controlled as follows: * »

A 1 8

War Department (Army) 2, 330* Lighthouse Service 530' Public Health Service 340'

(Corps of Engineers, 1935)-

Early in 1935, the U.S. Public Health Service accepted bids from

the Hawaiian Contracting Company for the construction on Sand Island

of a boat basin, wharf, wharf shed, and a disinfecting building (Honolulu

Star Bulletin, 1935).

From 1935 through at least 1939, Sand Island was included in the

area designated by the Army for use in the coastal defense of the Pearl

and Honolulu Harbors. In 1935, this area was in the zone of responsi

bility of the 2d Bn, 55th Coast Artillery Regiment (Addieman, n. d. ).

In 1937, the War Department (Army) controlled about 200 acres of

Sand Island (Coll, 1937). About 100 acres of the island was controlled

by other federal agencies (Honolulu Star Bulletin, 1937). The

Quarantine Station consisted of approximately 80 acres (Coll, 1937).

In 1937, there was no beach along the outer fringe (Mamala Bay

side) of the island, facing the reef; however, there was evidence of a

beach growing there (Coll, 1937).

Army records of 1939 list Sand Island as a military installation

assigned to the command of the Commanding General, Hawaiian Separate

Coast Artillery Brigade (HSCAB). No units were permanently assigned

, to Sand Island (Addieman, n. d. ). . - •

In October 1940, dredging by the Corps of Engineers commenced

A 1 9

on the seaplane channel in the Keehi Lagoon. This work continued

intermittently until 1945. Some of the spoils from this project were used

to fill 75 acres of the Shatter flats (Honolulu Advertiser, B, 1946).

Military installations of an undefined nature were reported on Sand

Island as of the end of February 1941 (Honolulu Advertiser, A, 1941).

In July 1941, Sand Island was reported as comprising abour 410

acres (an increase of 110 acres since 1937) of which.a total of about 50

acres were useable from the standpoint of building location (Honolulu

Star Bulletin, B, 1941). At the same time, it was reported that the

United States Army had frequently conducted seacoast artillery firing

practice from the island (Honolulu Star Bulletin, B, 1941).

During August 1941, dredging for the Kapalama Basin pier project

commenced using the Army's dredge "Hinds". The use of this spoil to

raise the elevation of Sand Island from approximately 4' to 10' was

considered (Honolulu Star Bulletin, A, 1941); however, it might have

been used for other purposes.

The military commands in Hawaii were put on an alert status on

November 28, 1941. Vital installations were to be placed under guard.

Oahu was divided into two defense sectors with the Northern sector

defended by the 24th Division and the Southern sector defended by the

25th Division (Headquarters Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ;

» Brooks, 1973).

December 1, 1941, the 14th Naval District assumed responsibility

A 2 0

for Honolulu Harbor (Honolulu Star Bulletin, B, 1941). The Honolulu

Harbor Defense Groups consisted of the

Captain of the Port Harbor Patrol Water Front Security Net Operating Station Mine Sweeping

(Headquarters Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ).

When the Japanese planes attacked on December 7, 1941, there

was a 3" anti-aircraft gun detachment of the 53d Coast Artillery Brigade

(Anti-aircraft) on Sand Island. The Hawaiian Coast Artillery Command

alerted the 53d Brigade at 0810 hours and within several minutes, anti

aircraft batteries at Fort Kamehameha and Fort Weaver opened up on

the Japanese planes with small arms fire. At 0830, a fixed 3" battery

at Fort Weaver opened fire and similar batteries at Fort Kamehameha

and on Sand Island went into action. The Sand Island battery claimed

the downing of two Japanese planes. This was reported as occurring

at 0815 hours and would mean these planes were from the first wave of

attacking Japanese planes (United States Congress, 1946; Conn, S.,

et al, 1964).

Within a few hours of the Japanese attack, all Japanese, Italians,

and Germans who had previously been listed as enemy "agents" by Army

and Naval intelligence, and the F. B. I., were "rounded up" (Short, 1941).

» These "agents" were, in fact, primarily residents of the Territory of

Hawaii who had not taken up United States citizenship (Miyamoto, 1964).

A 2 1

They were detained at the immigration station in Honolulu over thenight

of 7/8 December; then, on the 8th, were removed by boat to the

Quarantine Station on Sand Island (Short, 1941; Miyamoto, 1964). On

the day the internees moved to Sand Island, the War Department (Army)

took over control of the Quarantine Station from the U. S. Public Health

• Service (Marek, 1973).

On the 8th of December, the U.S. Coast Guard picked up some

fishermen who had been at sea during the Japanese attack. As most

fishermen at that time were aliens, the men picked up were interned

on Sand Island (Allen, 1971).

By 12 December 1941, there were 482 persons interned at the

Quarantine Station:

370 Japanese 98 Germans 14 Italians

They were initially guarded by Military Police from the Hawaiian

Department and civilian police from the Honolulu Police Force. Later,

a rifle company of the 25th Division was employed for this (possibly

from the 161st Infantry which was responsible for this portion of the

25th Division's area). As of 12 December, a special detachment was

being organized under the Provost Marshal to assume this guard

(Short, 1941). This detachment may or may not have been a portion

» of the Honolulu Home Guard which did later take over the-guard duties

(Miyamoto, 1964).

A 2 2

The detainees on Sand Island were held in a five acre barbed wire

enclosed tent camp (see Map 1). One former detainee expressed the

opinion that this camp had been erected prior to the Japanese attack

(Miyamoto, 1964).

After December 12, 1941, detainees continued to arrive. To the

original interned nationalities were added Austrians, Finns, and

Norwegians. While interned on the island, the detainees cleared a

number of kiawe trees. They also reported being much bothered by

mosquitos (indicating there was still much undrained swamp on the

island) (Miyamoto, 1964).

By mid-February 1942, the construction of "pill" boxes along

Oahu's shoreline for coastal defense had been completed (Honolulu

Advertiser, 1942). (It is believed these were field type fortifications

made out of locally available materials - not the prefabricated concrete

type still seen on Sand Island - author. ) Although these defensive

positions on Sand Island have not been definitely located, the continued

reference to infantry defense positions on Sand Island during the first

six months of the war leave no doubt that such positions existed.-

What can be said is these positions were well forward of Quarantine

Island on the southeast portion of Sand Island and generally on the

portion of the island behind the Mamala Bay seawall.

Some (perhaps all) detainees were evacuated from Sand Island bn

February 16, 1942. They were detained in Honolulu until February 20,

A 2 3

1942, when they were placed on a transport to the mainland (Miyamoto,

1964).

In April 1942, civilian employees of the Hawaiian Constructors

had been moved into a tent camp in the northwest portion of Quarantine

Island (Corps of Engineers, A, 1942). How long this camp was occupied

is not known, but drawings of August 1943 show the camp had then been

struck.

Sand Island remained in the area of defense responsibility of the

161st Infantry, 25th Division, up to November 2, 1942, at which time

the 25th was relieved of the defense responsibility which was then

assumed by the 27th Division. The threat of an invasion of the

Hawaiian Islands increased steadily up to the Battle of Midway o

(Headquarters, Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ). The Battle of

Midway (4-6 June 1942) had a dual effect on Sand Island. Beach defense

was no longer the major mission of Army units in the Hawaiian Islands.

It was replaced by a training mission; however, beach defense was not

entirely neglected for a certain readiness state was maintained.

(Headquarters, Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ). Secondly) the

Navy's interest in seaplane operations from the Hawaiian Islands

decreased, although work on the Keehi Seaplane Channel continued.

This dredging was mainly supplying coral for the John Rogers Airport

, (Dod, 1966).

With the build-up of troops more definitive defense sectors were

A 2 4

proscribed. Sand Island was now located in a defense sector titled the

Honolulu sub-sector. This sub-sector was bounded by the Kalihi

Channel and Makapuu Head. Its defense was assigned to the 27th

Combat Team consisting of the

27th Infantry Division, less the 1st Battalion 8th Field Artillery Battalion, less Battery A Company B, 63d (65th) Engineer Battalion Detachment of the 25th Medical Battalion

(Headquarters, Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ).

The area of dry land on Sand Island in 1942 was reported as 240

acres and access to Sand Island in 1942 was by boat only (Honolulu

Advertiser, B, 1946).

During 1942, Sand Island was armed against air and amphibious . «

attack. This armement consisted of quick firing and 5" anti-aircraft

guns and a battery of 7" guns. Both the 5 and 7" guns had been dis

mounted from naval ships and turned over to the Army.

Four 7" naval guns were mounted on Sand Island (see Map 2, 4).

The installations consisted of four gun positions in a line, a splinter-

proof plotting room, a splinter-proof shelter for standby generators,

one powder magazine and one projectile magazine for each gun located

below ground with protected entrances, plus a battery direction and

control tower. The guns were placed on 2" plate cushioned by 2" thick

, hardwood planking and anchor bolted to a heavy reinforced concrete

base. The mountings of the guns on Sand Island differed from the

A 2 5

method of mounting other 7" naval guns on Oahu. The guns on Sand

Island were not provided with splinter-proof casements. The reason

given for this was the great concentration of AA near this area

(Jeffus, n. d. ). (The tower and some bunkers of this emplacement

are still visible on the island. )

The 5" AA guns were emplaced Ewa of the 7" battery (see Map 3,

4). The battery was designated AA Battery #9 and the guns were

mounted in the form of a square. The command po&t, fire director and

generator were located in the center of the square and apparently were

above ground. Each gun was provided with its own magazine which

was underground with protected entrances. These magazines were 150

to 250' outside the square of guns. The 5" guns were installed in a

manner similar to the 7" guns. The position was flanked with machine

gun emplacements. A tent camp for the battery personnel was situated

northeast of the gun emplacements (Jeffus, n. d. ).

Work on the quick firing or automatic AA weapons positions was

started in the fall of 1942. Each position consisted of a 37 or 40 mm

AA gun, a director, a . 50 caliber machine gun, ammunition storage,

and a sheltered generator. These guns were mounted either directly

on the ground or on towers. The towers were 10, 16 or 20' high. It

was initially considered that the weight of the guns and director could

only be supported by concrete towers and the first towers were so built.

Later, it was discovered that wooden towers could bear the weight, and

A 2 6

the construction of concrete towers was discontinued. In the case of

guns mounted on towers, the director had to be immediately adjacent

to the guns but mounted on a separate tower. The generator was

mounted in a concrete building (Jeffus, n. d. ). Two towers of such

an installation with supporting structure still stand along the Honolulu

Harbor shore of Sand Island. '

The 27th Division was relieved of its defense mission in August

1943 and was replaced by the 6th Division. During the period August

12, 1943 to October 17, 1943, the Honolulu sub-sector was assigned to

the 63d Infantry, less two battalions, and the 53d Field Artillery

Battalion. During this period, the defense of Sand Island was assigned

to H Company, 63d Infantry (Headquarters, Army Forces, Middle e

Pacific, n. d. ).

On the 17th of October 1943, the 6th Division assumed the defense

' of the entire island of Oahu under a revised defense plan written under

the direction of Major General Siebert, the division commander. Under

this plan, Sand Island was designated beach position/platoon position

Kansas, an operational designation it retained until the end of the war

(Headquarters, Army Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ).

The Army Port and Service Command (AP&SC) was established as

a major echelon of the U.S. Army Force in the Central Pacific Area ,

, (USAFICPA) on August 10, 1943. The headquarters for the AP&SC was

established on Sand Island and remained there throughout the remainder

A 2 7

of the war (Bykofsky and Larson, 1957; Honolulu Advertiser, C, 1946).

"With the establishment of the AP&SC on Sand Island, the major function

of the island was that of an administrative and logistical center. Among

other functions, the AP&SC was assigned the administrative responsi

bility for the Army station complement of Oahu. The AP&SC initially

occupied the area of the former quarantine station/internment camp

with AP&SC headquarters being established in the concrete former

administration building of the Quarantine Station (see Map 1). At the

time of its occupancy, the grounds and buildings were described as

having fallen into disrepair, sanitation had been neglected, weeds were

rank, while water filled open ditches and served as a breeding ground

for mosquitos. The unused barracks, filled with tires, served as

supplementary warehouses and were in a dilapidated condition (Honolulu

Advertiser, C, 1946).

In 1943, all logistical installations were concentrated around

Quarantine Island. An area north of the large end of Quarantine Island

had been allocated to the Civil Works division of the United States Army

Corps of Engineers for dredge repair. Two warehouse buildings were

erected in this area. The mission of this facility was not only to support

dredges operating in the Hawaiian Islands, and at this time there were

six dredges operating in the immediate vicinity of Sand Island, but also

, to support the dredges operating in the combat zone in the western

Pacific (Jeffus, n. d.; Corps of Engineers, A, 1943).

A 2 8

Adjacent to, and southeast of the dredge facilities, an ordnance

vehicle assembly area had been established and the main assembly shed

was erected (see Map 4). On the edge of the Honolulu Harbor in the

northern corner of the ordnance area, three barracks for anti-aircraft

personnel had been erected (Corps of Engineers, B, 1943).

At the western end of the large circle of Quarantine Island, a tent

camp was erected or was being erected to house five Transportation

Corps Port Companies. On the southern side, just outside the area of

Quarantine Island, a 1, 925 man tent staging camp (this has also been

reported as a 1, 658 man camp) was erected or was in the process of

being erected. (Corps of Engineers, C, 1943. )

In 1943, the submarine net protecting Honolulu Harbor stretched

from the makai pier on Sand Island (the foundations of which can still

be seen) to Pier #1 on the Honolulu side of the harbor (Corps of

Engineers, D, 1943).

During 1943, the Army Corps of Engineers widened and deepened

the entrance channel to Honolulu Harbor, as well as continued work on

the Keehi Lagoon seaplane runways. The spoils from three Army

dredges were used as fill on Sand Island (Corps of Engineers, A, 1943).

Further, in the same year, a dirt causeway connecting Sand Island with

the mainland was constructed in the Kapalama area (Honolulu Advertiser,

, B, 1946). .

The 6th Division was relieved of defensive duties January 21, 1944,

A 2 9

and these duties were assumed by the 38th Division. The defense of

Sand Island was taken over by the 106th Infantry (Headquarters, Army

Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. ).

The mission of the 106th was: "To organize and defend the water

front of Honolulu from Mokuoko Island to Wailupo Pond; pay particular

. attention to the waterfront from Kaoihi Channel to the mouth of the Ala

Wai Canal; drive into the sea any enemy landing force by immediate

local counter-attack. Quarantine (Sand) Island and the islands on both

sides of the Kalihi Channel are to be defended. " (Headquarters, Army

Forces, Middle Pacific, n. d. )

The 38th Division was in turn relieved of its Oahu defense respon

sibilities on June 1, 1944. These defense responsibilities were then

assumed by the 98th Division. Known units of the 98th Division which

at times had the defense responsibilities for Sand Island were:

F Company, 391st Infantry Units from the 1st Bn, 372d Infantry

The 98th Division remained responsible for Sand Island's defense until

the end of the war.

By mid 1944, the Army's timber pile marginal wharf was completed

along the southerly side of the Reserved Channel and Kapalama Basin. — T>

The wharf proper consisted of an open quay about 4, 000' long consisting

, of a wooden deck surfaced with black topping. No transit sheds were near

the quay area, but several warehouses were located 200 to 800' back from

A 3 0

the quay fence; open black topped areas about 400' deep extended back

from all berths except MW-5. Eleven wharves and one ferry landing

were included in this complex (The Propellor Club of the United States,

1967; Corps of Engineers, 1946; Corps of Engineers, 1950). Use of

the marginal wharves was apparently discontinued in 1950.

The Keehi Seaplane Channel dredging was finished in September

1944. An estimated 14, 270, 000 cubic yards of coral had been excavated

at a cost of $3, 348, 000. The major contributors were $2, 019, 000 from

the Corps of Engineers Rivers and Harbors funds and $1, 269, 000 from

Civil Aeronautics Administration funds (Jeffus, n. d. ). With the com

pletion of the marginal wharves and the seaplane channel dredging, Sand

Island assumed the configuration seen today with one exception - a land e

bridge existed between the island and Oahu, just Ewa of the Kapalama

Basin. In 1943 and 1944 the three dredges "Jefferson", "San Joaquin",

and "Point Loma" had respectively contributed 2, 964,000, 1, 440,000

and 3, 539, 000 cubic yards of spoil to the island, for a total of 7, 943, 000

cubic yards (Corps of Engineers, A, 1943).

During 1944, logistic activities expanded to the southwest of

Quarantine Island, along the shores of the seaplane runway "D", as well

as in the previously occupied areas. The dredge repair facilities now

had a dredged basin 2601 by 600' with a depth of 25', and shop buildings

, A and B adjacent to the basin had been completed. With the construction

of the shops, the dredge repair facility contained areas and capability

A 3 1

for machining, welding, blacksmith work, cable repair, rigging,

electrical repair, boat repair, planing and milling, and carpentry

(Jeffus, n. d. ). The tent camp for the Transportation Port Companies

remained, but just north of this, a new tent camp had been established.

This was a detention camp of some sort as it was enclosed in barbed

wire with guard towers on all four corners. The purpose of this camp

can only be speculated about at this time; military records indicate the

possibility of a new military stockade (a Korean P. O. W. compound had

been considered for Sand Island), or this might have been a relocation

of an Italian P. O. W. camp which was on Sand Island in 1944, but located

south of Quarantine Island (see Map 4) (Office of the Area Engineer,

1967; Corps of Engineers, A, 1944). South of Quarantine Island had e

been erected a 15, 000 man Quartermaster laundry, a Quartermaster

dry cleaning plant, and a boiler room to support these facilities. Also,

an Ordnance Tire Repair Shop, storage warehouse, and a tent camp for

Ordnance Tire Repair personnel had been erected. Behind the Quarter

master laundry area. Utilities Group, APO 455, moved in and occupied

15 buildings in November 1944 (see Map 4) (Jeffus, n. d. ). Finally, a

drummed gasoline open air storage area had been established along the

banks of seaplane runway "D".

Dredging of the Reserved Channel, the turning basin and the repair

„ basin of the Kapalama Basin Harbor area was finished in August 1945

(Honolulu Advertiser, B, 1946).

A 3 2

In the final year of the war, little additional construction occurred

on Sand Island. A small arms range was added this year in the area

towards the present sewerpump house. Plans were under way to turn

the open portions of Sand Island into a vast military recreation area,

but, with the coming of peace in September 1945, construction and

development of Sand Island ceased immediately. Caught in the cessation

of construction was a marine repair base for small Army boats which

had been started. The function apparently was carried on in the dredge

repair area when this area was no longer used for dredge repairs

(Jeffus, n.d. ). Wartime maps show that at periods during the war

waterfront portions of Sand Island bordering the Honolulu Harbor were

used by the U. S. Coast Guard and the U. S. Navy.

A portion of Sand Island was authorized for transfer from the U. S.

Army to the Territory of Hawaii by Presidential Executive Order #9752,

July 15, 1946, for use by the City and County of Honolulu as a sewer

treatment plant (Honolulu Advertiser, A, 1956). This transfer was not

immediately effected, but a right of entry was granted for a sewer pipe

line in November 1947. The transfer of 202 acres which contained the

area for the treatment facility was consummated in August 1959 (U.S.

Army Support Command, n. d. ).

The Keehi seaplane channels were used during the period 1946 to

1952 by Naval Air Squadron VR-2, flying "Mars" flying boats between

Hawaii and the mainland (Del Rosario, 1973).

A 3 3

In 1946, the U.S. Congress appropriated money to deepen the

Reserved Channel to 36', widen it to 600* and dredge a turning basin

at Kapalama 35' deep and 1, 000' wide (Honolulu Advertiser, A, 1946).

Work on the Kapalama turning basin commenced in September 1947

using the Army dredge "James F. C. Hyde". The removal of the

causeway which connected Sand Island with Oahu, and the construction

of a second channel, authorized by Act 3, September 1954, commenced

in 1959 and was completed in 1962. During this period, a bascule bridge

was constructed to provide access to Sand Island (The Propellor Club of

the United States, 1967; Corps of Engineers, 1956).

As of January 1958, there were on Sand Island, the following U.S.

Army activities:

1. a Quartermaster laundry and dry cleaning plant

2. an Ordnance Tire Repair Shop ^

3. a small Transportation Corps marine repair shop (performing repairs on small Army watercraft)

4. a Quartermaster furniture factory

5. an Engineer packing and crating facility

Also, there were the Coast Guard facility, a Hawaiian National Guard

Motor Pool, and commercial companies preparing arms under the aid

program (Graham, 1958).

Except for the U. S. Coast Guard facility, the remainder of Sand

Island under U. S. Army control was released to the State, of Hawaii on

a Quit Claim dated July 25, 1965, effective May 12, 1966.

SITE NAME: Sand Island, Honolulu, Hawai'i

CONTACT REPORT SUMMARY:

Clyde has worked for the DSP for 25 years. The following is a brief history of the park development:

Before 1959 - The U.S. Army controlled the north side of Sand Island. 1961 - The State took ownership. Late 1960's - There was a variety of uncontrolled open dumping and squatters from the southern point to the west end (toward the airport). 1975 - The east end (near the existing Coast Guard station and fisheries center) was developed as a park. The remaining areas of the park were planned to be developed in six phases. Late 1970's - Removed squatters 1977 - Added a caretaker to resided at the park (near the "tower" and Maintenance Center). Alfred Carvahlo 808/832-3781 Late 1970's - early 1980's - US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) shore protection project along seaward side. 1980's - Completed Phase 6 baseball fields and sewage improvements Early 1990's - USACE constructed the rip-rap sea wall on the eastern end of the beach. 1990's - Plans in flux to use the remaining western areas (undeveloped)

The top soil is less than one foot over coral fill material. It is not very suitable for natural vegetation to grow. Groundwater is shallow (about 4 feet).

above grade. All former military transformers replaced/upgraded more than 12 years ago. No transformer leaks or spills were noticed.

There are and were no underground storage tanks, military dumps, industrial facilities, plating shops, or other activities that could impact the soils and groundwater. The only possible concern could be the former pistol range near the baseball fields and solid waste dumping by "Charles Junk Yard" during the past 20 years. Solid wastes includes potential asbestos pipes, household wastes, tires, batteries, vehicles, and other large metal and construction debris.

The only hazardous material contamination he knows about is in the industrial area off the park property. It was a carpet store that contaminated shallow groundwater. Also 10 years ago, the U.S. Coast Guard cleaned up abandoned drums and containers (1 and 5-gallon) dumped by boaters on the park.

His company arrived on the northwestern side of the park property (southwest adjacent to the current wastewater treatment plant) in March 2000 to build a temporary pipe storage/construction yard for the new wastewater pipeline across the harbor. He observed vegetation overgrown within various solid waste. It looked like a "junk yard" with tires, transite pipe, rusted vehicles, some paint cans, etc. He did not observe any transformers or hazardous material containers or drums. They bulldozed the wastes to the current bermed areas toward the shoreline and west/east. They are evaporating drill cuttings and purge water in temporary ponds from their directional drilling beneath the harbor to Honolulu. The wastes are tested and there are no organic chemicals or metals detected.

They constructed a temporary bypass road along the shoreline when they close Access Road during the pipe installation. They graded the area and found other fill material and previously dumped asphalt. There was one area that could not be graded because of it's hardness and was covered with clean imported topsoil.

She conducts Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs) for property transfers for the Sand Island Business Association (SIBA), adjacent to the park parcels. The ESA's that she conducts are on small industrial parcels that have site-specific housekeeping hazardous material problems. If soil or groundwater are impacted, it is very localized and have not migrated offsite. She has not had a property that required a Phase II sampling investigation and has no environmental data on potential soil or groundwater contamination.

Her review of adjacent sites that could impact the SIBA properties did not indicate any potential soil or groundwater contamination at the DLNR properties.
