Some very glaring problems within the EIS reports. For starters why hasn't a federal environmental impact statement been provided? Federal funding of the TMT project had been admitted or confirmed to the tune of $8-13,000,000 dollars by the end of 2008. With expressed interests of continuing funding from (NSF) throughout the construction and OPERATION phase's of the TMT's project.

The FEIS was accepted by Governor Lingle in 2010. There was a 60 day window after acceptance that anyone could've contested the document's findings. The document can't be contested after that 60 day window and becomes a binding document.

The TMT FEIS deals with the federal funding for this project The long story short is the funding was used to create a astronomical partnership plan for the US astronomy interests. At no point any NSF funds were allocated for construction of this facility. The latter would trigger a Federal Section 106 consultation process.

I have a letter from the Advisory Council for Historical Preservation from 2014, which states there wasn't a need to do a Section 106 consultation.
