New missile magazines proposed for
Naval Magazine Indian Island
PORT HADLOCK — The U.S. Navy is asking for public comment on its plans to build new missile magazines at Naval Magazine Indian Island.
The Navy is proposing to replace three World War II igloo-style magazines on the west side of the island with five new high explosive magazines, according to the draft environmental assessment.
The Navy wants to build five new magazines specifically engineered for storage of missiles, construct a pre-engineered metal building to store inert materials, provide a two-stall charging station for two forklifts and construct about 3,500 feet of new road.
Construction would begin this summer and end in 2020, according to the draft environmental assessment.
