\n HONOLULU \u2014 The National Science Foundation has launched an informal outreach to Hawaii about possible funding efforts for the stalled Thirty Meter Telescope project.<\/p>\n

The effort by the nation\u2019s top funder of basic research could lead to a huge influx of cash for the astronomy project on Mauna Kea with an estimated cost of $2.4 billion, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Thursday.<\/p>\n

Funding efforts could also trigger a regulatory process adding two years or more to a construction timeline that is far behind schedule. The project recently announced the start of construction was delayed until spring.<\/p>\n

The foundation said in a statement it plans to reach out to \u201cstakeholders, including Native Hawaiians,\u201d to understand their viewpoints.<\/p>\n

Protesters blocked the 6.27-mile access road to the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii\u2019s tallest mountain, in a demonstration against the project from July through December 2019. Telescope opponents said the project would desecrate land considered sacred by some Native Hawaiians.<\/p>\n

The foundation said its outreach would serve as a precursor to a formal federal environmental review process.<\/p>\n

The Thirty Meter Telescope project has teamed with the Giant Magellan Telescope planned in Chile and the US National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory to propose the US Extremely Large Telescope Program.<\/p>\n

The partnership, which is partly an effort to obtain additional funding, proposes to offer US astronomers complete viewing coverage of the skies in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.<\/p>\n

Thirty Meter Telescope officials recently submitted a planning and design proposal to the science foundation aimed at obtaining major funding for $1 billion added to the project\u2019s cost due to construction delays, inflation and other factors.<\/p>\n

Under the proposal, the foundation would contribute $850 million each to the Thirty Meter Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope.<\/p>\n

Funding app<\/a>roval would trigger the creation of a federal environmental impact statement and National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 consultation, a process of two years or more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will lead to very significant outreach, another opportunity to listen and learn and a renewed opportunity to seek solutions that are acceptable to all in Hawaii,\u201d Michael Bolte, a University of California Santa Cruz astronomy professor and Thirty Meter Telescope board member, said last month.<\/p>\n

Kealoha Pisciotta, leader of the Mauna Kea Hui group that opposes the telescope, said her group and others are prepared to challenge federal environmental documents.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
