  • The following case study is from the United States Department of the Navy (2015) Report: Guam and CNMI Military Relocation (2012 Roadmap Adjustments) Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement .
  • The initial approximate count for the relocation for the base area, waterfront and aviation operations was 8,600 marines and 9,000 dependents from Okinawa base to Guam. The military relocation called for the development of a military camp area, housing for families, and a live-fire training range (US Navy, 2015).
  • RESPECT CHAMORU NATIVE PEOPLE
  • In 2012, US Department of Navy initiated a 56 day scoping period. Over 300 individuals attended, the Navy Department received 348 comments with 24% proposing actions and alternatives, and 16% were comments of concern regarding future recreational activities. Other concerns listed were socioeconomics, public health/safety, transportation, noise pollution, biodiversity, real estate and historic land.
  • The scope was then expanded to address roadmap adjustments, a period of 60 days with 241 attendants and 398 comment letters. Almost half of the comments were focused on the placement of the live-fire training range complex.
  • Some suggested the firing range complex be built on federal land, not on historic and cultural sites. This would have potential impacts on fishing, diving , boating and recreational areas. 
  • After public scoping ended in April 2012, the US-Japan Security Consulate Committee adjusted for a smaller configuration, reducing the numbers to 5,000 marine personnel and 1,300 dependents. Statements were released for the following adjustments: reduction in acreage requirements for the cantonment and family housing areas. Reconfigured blueprint for the required firing range complex(US Navy, 2015)
