ORDNANCE CLEARED FROM MAUI RESERVE
The state reopened the 'Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve on Maui Thursday afternoon after the area was cleared of unexploded ordnance by the 706th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company from Schofield Barracks, The Maui News reported.
A road to the reserve first was closed Nov. 30 after a sweep of the reserve by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers discovered four objects of unexploded ordnance in lava fields, said Department of Land and Natural Resources spokeswoman Deborah Ward.
