Subject:

Hale Pohaku Environmental impact analysis amendments Mauna Kea planning

Summary:

The amendment to the Revised Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Mid-Level Facilities Master Plan at Hale Pohaku provides further clarification concerning the impact to the mid-level facilities if additional telescopes are placed at the summit of Mauna Kea. Based on a reconnaissance survey of the summit area, there are sites that appear suitable for astronomy facilities. However, an in-depth evaluation needs to be made to assess each site and its impact on the environment. No doubt, there will be full compliance with the Mauna Kea Plan and the approval of the Board of Land and Natural Resources prior to any commitments being made by the University.
