The United States Army Corps of Engineers Honolulu District (USACE) completed a reconnaissance study to assess potential hydroelectric power sources across the State of Hawaii. The goal of the study was to compile existing information about potential sites identified for hydropower energy development and provide an assessment of the applicability of various hydropower generating technologies in Hawaii. GIS was used to support the assessment of the power potential of existing, retired and proposed traditional hydroelectric plants in the State. GIS was also used delineate areas preferential to ocean energy development through low-level marine spatial planning, screen potential sites based on environmental and social criteria as well as to visualize the results of the study. The study methods and key results will be presented, with an emphasis on how GIS and existing geospatial data at the State level were leveraged to complete the state-wide reconnaissance of hydroelectric power potential.

During World War II, the military used the Former Waikoloa Maneuver Area on the island of Hawai‘i as a training camp and artillery range. The military ceased activities and vacated the 100,000 acre parcel in 1946 and performed a cleanup. Another cleanup was conducted in 1954, and the current effort was triggered by the fact that munitions and explosives are continuing to be discovered. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the Executive Agent for the Formerly Used Defense Sites Program, and is responsible for the current cleanup effort. We are managing the large effort through a GIS database to keep track of the number and locations of munitions found, areas cleared, right-of-entries targeted, and more. While over 17,000 acres have been cleared, clearance continues to improve public safety.
