As I remember HVNP can only grow through land donations and those must be contingous with the current park area (NPS can administer separated parcels however). As such owner(s) will need to give them the flow field area and connecting lands for it to become part of HVNP. (Sorry no link on hand - have to look it up as part of the Federal Laws that apply to HVNP I believe).
IF the land swap happens, then maybe State & County might do this, but appears to be many years in the making. Maybe in time for the next lava flow
