Additional Property Attributes

Former Use: KV-1 Site was acquired along with the rest of the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI) in 1976 through a Covenant Agreement established between the NMI and the United States (US) making the NMI a political commonwealth of the US. As part of the agreement, the US Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) government transferred all public lands to the CNMI. The site is a public land approximately 31,000 square meters located at the southern end of Saipan. The site is currently undeveloped, but surrounded by both undeveloped and residential private lands. The site is within the Kobler well field aquifer, which is one of largest well field on island. Historically, during the Japanese occupation of Saipan, the site may have been farmed for sugar cane as there was a large sugar cane mill operation at the time. Prior to the onset of WW II, the Japanese military had begun a construction of an airfield in the Kobler area, but was never completed. Soon after the invasion and capture of Saipan during WW II, the U.S. military completed the construction of what was known as the Kobler Airfield. After the ending of WW II in 1945, the US Naval Administration took control of the Northern Mariana Islands, including Saipan. The Naval Administration ended around 1962, and the TTPI Administration was established under the U.S. Department of the Interior. The TTPI Administration ended in 1976 when the U.S. Government entered into a Covenant Agreement making the NMI a political commonwealth of the U.S. As part of the agreement, the U.S. TTPI government transferred all public lands to the CNMI. The Northern Mariana Islands were acquired involuntarily, upon the execution of the Covenant agreement between the U.S. government and the NMI government. Based on our best information, this site has been undeveloped since the time of the U.S. TPPI government until now.
