Hawaii Brightfields Initiative Web Mapping Application

[Metadata]  Web Mapping Application showing Hawaii Brightfields Initiative Data as of September, 2019 / Previously Contaminated Lands by TMK Parcel. This map contains tax map key parcels that have had previous contamination. Current status of contamination has not been verified for these parcels. HSEO has made it a priority to support informed renewable energy production in Hawaii. The Hawaii Brightfields Initiative database is intended to inform preliminary site due diligence and reduce soft costs associated with renewable energy development decisions. HSEO offers this resource to facilitate the reuse of previously developed or disturbed lands for renewable energy development in support of achieving its mandate of 100% renewable energy generation by 2045. For the purposes of the Hawaii Brightfields Initiative database, current site status regarding use, remediation, or actual or potential contamination has not been verified. Sites in this database may or may not have been assessed or remediated. Users should seek additional information and confirm actual site status and risks with the proper state and federal regulatory authorities, including HEER and/or the Hawaii Department of Health Solid and Hazardous Waste Branch. Information on specific individual sites may be found in HEER’s iHEER System (search by Tax Map Key number) and/or EPA’s RE-PoweringMapper (search by site key word, location, or name using the "Find" feature [Ctrl-F]). For more information, please refer to metadata at https://files.hawaii.gov/dbedt/op/gis/data/hi_brightfields_initiative_data.pdf.

The information presented is based on available data in public databases and spatial layers.  The database information will only be updated as feedback is given, and research is conducted.  The spatial layers are periodically updated but be aware that data shown on these maps may not be current.  The TMK layer used is available to the public at the Hawaii Geospatial Portal and Hawaii Statewide GIS Program.

Developers targeting DoD lands should contact the appropriate DoD services (US Air Force, US Army, US Marines, US Navy) for a local point of contact AND contact the DoD energy siting clearinghouse (for all projects) at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dodsc or DoDSitingClearinghouse@osd.mil.
