10436. Training operations frequently involve the use of live ordnance, 
creating an obvious danger to persons on or near the island. Moreover, a 
large amount of unexploded ordnance is present on Kaho'olawe Island and 
in adjacent waters.
    (b) Individuals who enter the island of Kaho'olawe without authority 
expose themselves to extremely hazardous conditions. In addition, the 
presence of unauthorized persons on Kaho'olawe Island or in adjacent 
waters is likely to interfere with the use of the island for military 
training. Accordingly, it is necessary to prohibit entry to Kaho'olawe 
Island except under the controlled circumstances set forth in this 
subpart.
