Special Management Area Use Permit No. 221 was originally approved to allow the establishment of a coal storage area and a coal burning energy plant and related improvements. The approved amendment request allowed a change in fuel source from coal to biomass, to upgrade the existing facility and to construct support facilities and infrastructure at the former Pepe`ekeo Power Plant, Makahanaloa, South Hilo, Hawaii, TMK: (3) 2-8-8:104 (formerly 2-8-7: Portion of 53). The Commission denied standing for Claudia Rohr to participate in a contested case hearing in this partial remand as her petition was untimely and she had not established her interest as clearly distinguishable from that of the general public. The Commission will issue a second supplemental findings of fact, conclusions of law, and decision and order which will be adopted at the May Commission meeting. This
