The Air Force has closed Bellows Field Beach Park in Waimanalo because of runoff after recent heavy rains in the area.

The Air Force notified the Department of Health Clean Water Branch of the situation yesterday, a CWB spokesman said.

The rains caused discharged silt and debris to run off into waters fronting the park, which will remain closed until tomorrow.
