The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is preparing to survey 13,500 acres of Hawaii island’s former Waikoloa Maneuver Area, a World War II-era bombing range that is no longer in use. The surveying will guide the eventual sweep for unexploded ordnance from two sectors of WMA, which represents just over 10% of 100,000 acres once used by U.S. Marines for training in the area. The threat of unexploded ordnance, known as UXO, has been a hazard for decades throughout the South Kohala District and residents have taken issue with the pace of the work since 1993, as it influences development, among other things.
