HILO, Hawaii The Maunakea Management Board this week approved a plan for decommissioning a telescope atop Hawaii s tallest peak.
The Caltech Submillimeter Observatory is the first of five summit observatories scheduled to be decommissioned in exchange for the planned construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope at Mauna Kea. It ceased operations in 2015.
Jim Hayes, president of Honolulu consultancy firm Planning Solutions, Inc., presented a preliminary environmental assessment and conservation district use application for the decommissioning process to the board on Monday, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported.
The plan calls for restoring the site to pre-development conditions at a cost of a little over $4 million. It could be completed by the end of 2022.

The second of two SK battery plants is under construction in Commerce, Ga. The first plant was completed this year.
COMMERCE, Ga. If being forced to pay a $1.78 billion legal settlement to a competitor can be considered good news, SK Innovation responded positively to the conclusion of its trade dispute with LG Energy Solution this month by pushing ahead on its massive new electric vehicle battery plant in northern Georgia.
The resolution illustrates the high-stakes nature of EV battery plans for future vehicles.
A review of SK s $2.6 billion factory project last week found that its first 200 employees are now on-site and the company remains on schedule to have 1,000 workers there by year end, and to launch commercial production of battery cells early next year to begin supplying a new U.S.-built electric Volkswagen utility and Ford Motor Co. s planned electric F-150 pickup.
