The Marine Corps respond to noise complaints near Bellows

The Marine Corps is responding to complaints from Waimanalo residents about excessive noise coming from Bellows this week.

There were reports of heavy gun fire and marine training exercises taking place as early as four o’clock in the morning and lasting late into the night.

The corps says since the 1990′s bellows has initiated a quiet time for training to lessen the impact on neighboring homes.

And says – it will continue to make sure those guidelines are kept.

"And every now and then in the last few years, we had unit that forget those guidelines and we’ll remind them to be appropriately conscious of the neighboring community," says Maj. Alan Crouch, Marine Corps Base Hawaii.

The marines say the reason for the seven a.m. to ten p.m. schedule – is to allow those training to work under both daytime and nighttime scenarios.
