Mabhomba MuParadhiso: Makomba uye Munitions Akananga kuEwa Beach, Hawaii 

NaBrad Wolf, World BEYOND War, June 10, 2021

Mauto eUnited States anoronga kuvaka nzvimbo hombe yezvombo yekuchengetera matura ehondo nemabhomba padyo nenzvimbo dzekugara dzeEwa Beach, Ewa Villages, West Loch Estates, uye Ewa Gentry, pamwe neparutivi pePearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge muHawaii. Iyi yePacific chitsuwa paradhiso yatove nehukuru hukuru hweUnited States zvigaro zvemauto uye macompound munyika, ichiita imwe yenzvimbo dzehondo zvakanyanya pasi pano. Dai zvaive zvekubuda muUnited, Hawaii raizove rakakura simba remauto pasirese. Uye ikozvino, zvimwe zvombo zviri munzira. Zvimwe zvakawanda.

Kukura, kukura, uye mari yechirongwa chikuru ichi chekuvaka inofanirwa kutariswa, pamwe nenjodzi iripanhasi inoiswa kuvagari venharaunda dzakatenderedza. Zvakakosha zvakafanana ndezvekuti pre-kumisikidzwa kweakakura zviyero ehupenyu mhenyu nemamisheni zviri mukufarira uye kuchengetedzeka kweruzhinji rweAmerica. Kugadzirira-kumisikidza zvinoreva kugadzirira kushandisa. Yakakiiwa uye yakatakurwa. Tiri kuenda kuhondo. Izvi zvinoderedza nguva yekudyidzana uye zvinowedzera mukana wekushandisa kwezvombo. Isu tinonyatsoda kuunganidza zvimwe zvombo pachitsuwa ichi chakazara nemauto kugadzirira hondo huru inotevera? Iri zano rakangwara here, kana kupenga uye kuita zvine njodzi?

Mune peji 164 ripoti yakanyorwa neDhipatimendi reNavy reMauto, rakanzi "Kuwana Pasina Kukosha Impact (FONSI) YeUS Army West Loch Ordnance Facilities Ku Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickman (JBPHH), Oahu, Hawaii," Navy inotaura chirongwa ichi. ichasanganisira makumi maviri neshanu bhokisi mhando "D" magazini, sere modular ekuchengetera magazini, manejimendi uye mashandiro ekushandisa, nzira dzezvishongedzo uye kongiri mapads, sevhisi yekushandisa uye kugovera, saiti drainage, maficha ezvekuchengetedza, uye mitsara yemoto. Zvechinyorwa, bhokisi remhando "D" magazini ine fungidziro inofungidzirwa yemamirimita masere zviuru zvisere. Zvakare, kuchave makumi maviri nenomwe eaya. Imotokari mazana matanhatu ezviuru-tsoka yakabata yadhi, nzvimbo inosvika zviuru makumi mashanu-tsoka yekuongorora mota, uye zviuru makumi maviri-tsoka tsoka-yekuchengetera imba yekuchengetera zviri pakati pezvimwe zvinhu zvikuru zvinofanirwa kuvakwa.

Kunyangwe paine chirongwa chikuru chekuvaka, Navy haina chainoreva chakanangana nekunanga, zvisina kunangana, kana kuwanda kwenzvimbo. Iyo Navy inozopeta-pasi pasi paupenzi, ichiti nzvimbo yakatarwa ingangoguma nemhedzisiro inobatsira kuhutano hweveruzhinji nekuchengeteka, nharo inonakidza yekuchengetwa kwemamirioni emapaundi ezvekuputika kwete anopfuura hafu mamaira kubva mukuvakwa kwedzimba.

Chirevo ichi chinoenderera nenzira imwechete vachishandisa mutauro wairehwa kusava nemhosva uye zvine musoro, asi zvakakomba zvakanyanya, nekupokana kuti zvombo zvakakura zvombo hazvikonzere zviwanikwa zvetsika, zviwanikwa, mamiriro ezvehupfumi hwevanhu, uye kushomeka kwekushandisa kwepasi. Dhipatimendi reMukati rakatosaina kusaina kukakavara nharaunda, zvichiratidza pachena, kuti matavi ese ehurumende anoshandira Pentagon.

Mipumburu inoputika yaizovapo uye kuburitswa panzvimbo ino kubva kune dzakasiyana ngarava, kutakurwa nemotokari uye kuisirwa kumatura, uye ndokudzokera kune dzimwe ngarava dzakagadzirira zvehondo. Kuputika kwetsaona kungave kunokuvadza kunharaunda dzekugara, kutakura mukana wekuuraya nekukuvadza mazana. Dzimba, mabhizinesi, mapaki uye zvikoro zvese zvaizove munzvimbo yekuputika, kana "kuputika arc."

Pamusoro pezvo, kungoitika netsaona ikoko kunogona kumutsa kuputika kwakanyanya kuPearl Harbor neHickam Field, kukonzeresa kwekuputika kunouraya kunonzi neNavy se "kuputika kunonzwira tsitsi." Iyo 1969 USS Enterprise moto padhuze nePearl Harbor yakatanga apo roketi reZuni netsaona rakaputika pasi pebapiro rerimwe ndege ndokupisa mamwe mamunitions, ichivhuvhuta maburi mudara rekubhururuka iro raibvumidza mafuta epamhepo kutungidza ngarava. Vafambisi vengarava makumi maviri nevasere vakaurayiwa, 314 vakakuvara, uye ndege gumi neshanu dzakaparadzwa pamutengo unodarika $ 15 mamirioni. Uku kuputika kwetsaona kwakaitika kumahombekombe uye kure nenzvimbo dzekugara. Kuputika kwakadai panzvimbo ino nyowani kunogona kukonzera kurasikirwa kukuru kwehupenyu nepfuma.

Kunyanya kucherechedzwa nezve ino nyowani zvombo nzvimbo ndeye ipfupi kuchengetedzwa chinhambwe pakati penzvimbo dzekuchengetera mabhomba nevanhu vanogara, isingasviki hafu mamaira kubva kuEwa Gentry North Park yekuvandudza dzimba. Dzimwe nzvimbo dzekuchengetera dzakadai seIndian Island muWashington State uye iyo Earle Ammunition Inoteedzera nzvimbo muNew Jersey ine mabhureki makuru kwazvo, nepo nzvimbo yeMasoja MOTSU muNorth Carolina ine arc 3.5 mamaira ekuputika. Kuputika kwetsaona kuchangobva kuitika muBeirut, Rebhanoni, kunyangwe isiri yezvombo zvemauto, kwakasiya nzvimbo inoputika mamaira 6.2. Iyo data inoshandiswa kuverenga aya ekuputika arcs ari, sekureva kweNavy, yakarongedzwa. Pamusoro pezvo, mhando dzemabhuru uye zviyero zvakasara zvinofanirwa kuchengetwa zvinotsanangurwa. Uye nekudaro, kuputika arc ishoko rine chirevo chaicho chakachengetwa mune chivimbo chakasimba neNavy. Vimba nesu, vanodaro.

Pakupera kwemushumo wavo wakareba, iyo Navy, hazvishamise, inopedzisa kuti hakuna imwe nzira asi iyi. Ivo, vanodaro, vakaita basa ravo rakafanira. Zvombo zvinofanirwa kuunzwa pano, chivakwa chitsva chinofanira kuvakwa, hapana njodzi kuruzhinji kana nharaunda. Ivo vari kungo zadzisa zvisungo zvavo pasi pemutemo nekuronga, pre-kumisa, uye kugadzirira hondo. Ziva chokwadi, vanoita kunge vachiti, zvese zvakanaka. Hapana chikonzero chekushushikana. Iwe uri mumaoko akachengeteka. Mauto ndiwo ari kutonga. Kuvaka kunotanga muna 2022.
