I have a question about the diversion of springs on Mauna Kea.
What does this stream have to do with the TMT? Is there something special about this spring, that makes it different from the dozens if not hundreds of other springs on the mountain that would cause it to be discussed at a meeting about the TMT?
There is no connection between this spring and the TMT. The lady who mentioned this had a concern about this diversion. She was testifying about these rules changes, so she also brought up her additional concerns because it related to Mauna Kea. However, the diversion of this water seemed to happen awhile ago, according to this You Tube video posted previously. It was done to provide water for the Mauna Kea State (now County) Park.
