Subject:: Hale Pohaku Mauna Kea visitor information station Environmental impact analysis
Summary:: The University of Hawai'i Hilo is proposing a set of infrastructure improvements at Halepohaku to accommodate and address the increase in the number of visitors to the mountain; ensure the safety of visitors and workers; prevent unintended impacts to natural, historic, and cultural resources on the Halepohaku and adjacent parcels; and comply with the BLNR-approved Maunakea Comprehensive Management Plan. The Proposed Action includes: a new means of ingress and egress for vehicles to the Visitor Information Station (VIS), a new access lane and parking area, paving of an unimproved path to provide access from the new parking area to the VIS, drainage features, a greenhouse, and relocation of a cabin. Project activities would occur on the University's leased lands. The access to the ingress/egress and the new parking area would be through access points identified in the Halepohaku parcel lease.
