A few worries and questions here. Sure hope dozers and earth movers don't turn Ali'i trails into new roads or crumble stones that have had purpose and or meaning for thousands of years. Telescopes that are this large must be kept fairly clean, what chemicals if any would be used to clean them? Do these cleaning agents mix with snow and then runoff with the melted ice water? How can a thirty meter(90 feet) tall telescope be good or help protect maunakea's natural ecosystem? Also get some real attitude at that altitude from some Keck folks, why? Amazing how many adventure tour vans and visitors are cruising to the summit daily now days, for what, and for how much? Sad to see maunakea being used like this, put this beast scope in space with a few scientists to help maintain it.
SAVE Maunakea, demand the illegal ripping of her aina to stop. The heavy machine equipment needs to come back off that mountain with more grace than they went up with, jmo.
