HI HCR41

Urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to call for comprehensive, independent testing and monitoring with civilian oversight to determine the extent of radioactive contamination at the Pohakuloa Training Area.

Confirms that the United States Army used depleted uranium at the Pohakuloa Training Area on Hawaii's Island of Hawaii and Schofield Barracks on Oahu, deployed through M101 spotting rounds used with Davy Crockett recoilless guns.

Notes that less than one percent of the 133,000-acre Pohakuloa Training Area has been tested, leaving the full extent of radioactive contamination unknown.

Requests that Hawaii's congressional delegation seek federal funds to support the testing and monitoring effort.

References prior Hawaii County Council resolutions (2008) calling for a halt to activities creating dust until cleanup occurs and requesting establishment of a citizen monitoring system, which has not been established.
