Abstract
The United States (U.S.) Department of the Navy (Navy), after carefully weighing the strategic, operational, and environmental consequences of the proposed action, announces its decision to select Alternative 4 (Preferred Alternative) from the Final Environmental Impact Statement for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility Dry Dock and Waterfront Production Facility at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii (herein, Final EIS). This alternative will support the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility's (PHNSY & IMF's) mission to repair, maintain, and modernize Navy fast-attack submarines and surface ships. Additionally, this alternative will allow the Navy to provide appropriate dry dock capability to meet submarine depot maintenance mission requirements no later than January 2028, as well as build and operate a properly sized and configured waterfront production facility (WPF) to enable efficient vessel maintenance.

Notice of Availability of Record of Decision for the Pearl Harbor
Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility Dry Dock and
Waterfront Production Facility Environmental Impact Statement
AGENCY: Department of the Navy, Department of Defense (DoD).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States (U.S.) Department of the Navy (Navy), after
carefully weighing the strategic, operational, and environmental
consequences of the proposed action, announces its decision to select
Alternative 4 (Preferred Alternative) from the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate
Maintenance Facility Dry Dock and Waterfront Production Facility at
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii (herein, Final EIS). This
alternative will support the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and
Intermediate Maintenance Facility's (PHNSY & IMF's) mission to repair,
maintain, and modernize Navy fast-attack submarines and surface ships.
Additionally, this alternative will allow the Navy to provide
appropriate dry dock capability to meet submarine depot maintenance
mission requirements no later than January 2028, as well as build and
operate a properly sized and configured waterfront production facility
(WPF) to enable efficient vessel maintenance.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The selected alternative involves
construction, operation, and maintenance of a graving dry dock (herein,
Dry Dock [DD]5) and an adjacent multiple support concept WPF located
east of DD5, as well as auxiliary facilities, a new weight-handling
system (crane type), and upgraded utilities. The proposed dry dock will
replace existing DD3 and will be given a new dry dock number, DD5. DD5
will be of sufficient size to support maintenance of current and future
classes of fast-attack submarines. The WPF will reduce lost operational
days by increasing collaboration and efficiency among the workforce.
The proposed project's construction-related actions will include
dredging, filling, pile driving, installing new temporary and permanent
in-water structures, demolishing existing landside structures, and
constructing new temporary and permanent landside facilities.
The complete text of the Record of Decision (ROD) is available on
the project website at <a href="http://www.PearlHarborDryDockEIS.org">www.PearlHarborDryDockEIS.org</a>, along with the
October 2022 Final EIS and supporting documents. Single copies of the
ROD are available upon request by contacting: Naval Facilities
Engineering System Command Pacific, Attn: PHNSY & IMF DD/WPF EIS
