"Obviously developed sites are planned for reuse if there is a need and funding, then EIS and permit process again. So far nothing else is planned except decommissioning. From whom are you quoting in regards to land transfer? The summit of Maunakea is under a different type of management than the lands the rail development on O'ahu. No land is being transfered on Maunakea."
I'm not aware of any plans to reuse any site of a decommissioned and removed telescope to build another observatory. I'm not sure what you mean by "obviously" so if I'm missing something, let me know.
As for transferring land, I'm no expert on real estate terms, but 10,000 acres of land on Mauna Kea will be returned to the state by UH. Maybe that doesn't mean transferring in the reference frame you're using, but I've now been working about 18 hours and don't have the mental energy to figure out what you mean. I hope you can clarify. Thanks!
