Summary:
The Hale Pohaku Master Plan was prepared to fulfill the requirements of the Mauna Kea Plan which states that "A master plan for the Hale Pohaku area shall be prepared by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Said plan shall incorporate plans for all intended uses of Hale Pohaku..." (Mauna Kea Plan, 1977). The Mauna Kea Plan specifies that the physical plan for Hale Pohaku should incorporate "mid-level facilities for necessary research personnel for the summit, a central point for management of the mountain, and a day use destination point for visitors with primitive overnight campsites." The stated objective of requiring the preparation of such a plan prior to development of the area is to control design of the mid-level facilities in order to insure that "disturbance of the Mamane/Naio forest eco-system will be minimal."
