Action Alert: Help Us to Oppose Office of Mauna Kea Management Proposed Rules
Mauna Kea needs our help. The University of Hawai‘i Office of Mauna Kea Management (OMKM) has proposed rules restricting access and use of Mauna Kea summit lands and a vague permitting system for the access that it does allow.
KAHEAʻs testimony that public hearings on OMKM draft rules are premature
It is premature to request the Governorʻs approval to allow for public hearings on these proposed rules. There are far too many substantive issues with the rules in their existing draft to put them out for public comment. It would make more sense to get better consensus before spending time and resources in a public hearing process.
