Lawmakers may give the Hawai`i Superferry more time to operate without an environmental impact statement.Two measures moving through the Hawai`i Legislature would amend special legislation approved in 2007 that has allowed the Superferry to continue interisland operations.The Hawai`i Department of Transportation was ordered by the Hawai`i Supreme Court to conduct an EIS on the ferry’s impact on state harbors.Yet Governor Linda Lingle is calling for an extension until June 2010.
