HI SR100

Urges the United States Marine Corps to refrain from commencing live gunfire activities at Puuloa Rifle Range before 10:00 a.m. daily to reduce noise exposure to nearby Ewa Beach residents.

Requests the Marine Corps work with non-government entities using the rifle range, such as the Puuloa Rifle and Pistol Club, to ensure their activities also do not commence before 10:00 a.m.

Acknowledges residents' repeated concerns about noise from the range, including early morning public address announcements (as early as 5:00-7:00 a.m.) and live gunfire sometimes starting at 6:00 a.m.

Notes the Marine Corps has previously implemented mitigation measures including reducing sound system volume, reducing live firing hours (currently 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), and installing noise abatement equipment.

Directs certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Marine Corps Base Hawaii Commanding Officer, Department of Health Noise Section Supervisor, Puuloa Rifle and Pistol Club President, and A Quieter Oahu spokesperson.
