Summary:

The University of Hawaii is preparing the "Mauna Kea Science Reserve Complex Development Plan" (SRCDP), (formerly called the Mauna Kea Science Reserve Master Plan), which reflects future development of the summit of Mauna Kea and related facilities to the year 2000, as set forth in the Research Development Plan (RDP). The RDP was adopted by the UH Board of Regents on 22 January 1982 and was prepared to serve as the programmatic Master Plan for the continued development of the Mauna Kea Science Reserve, Hale Pohaku, and related improvements. The purpose of the SRCDP is to develop a physical plan, (Part III provides a description of the physical plan), with supporting programmatic data and environmental analyses, which addresses all proposed development within the Mauna Kea Science Reserve and related facilities (as set forth in the UH RDP) to the year 2000. Because the UH is a lessee of the Mauna Kea Science Reserve, and thus has been responsible for developing and maintaining the area, the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR), has asked that the University also be responsible for managing and monitoring all activities that may affect the Reserve. The University is prepared to accept this responsibility, and has included a draft Management Plan (Part IV of this EIS), as part of the SRCDP. The purpose of incorporating a management plan as an integral part of the SRCDP is to protect the natural and man-made attributes of the summit area while at the same time allowing development and use of its scientific and recreation resources in a responsible, conservation-oriented manner.
