We the undersigned are
opposed to the construction of the proposed Advanced Technology Solar
Telescope (ATST) at the summit of Haleakala.
- The
disturbance, alteration and removal of sacred national resources
and possible cultural artifacts would be a desecration of
Haleakala.
- The proposed
development would have an adverse and devastating visual effect
caused by the addition a 14 storied intrusive and culturally
inappropriate structure.
- The impact of
traffic on our roads for the 7 year construction period, high noise
levels, effects to our air quality, drain on our energy grid,
incomplete water and waste plan are unacceptable; in addition there
will be loss of revenue to local businesses associated with tourist
to Halealaka National Park.
- The National
Science Foundation should not build this telescope on Haleakala
summit.
