Lake Mead NRA Considers a Master Plan for the NPS Headquarters and Warehouse Sites

William K. Dickinson, Superintendent of Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA), has announced the release of a master plan and environmental assessment (EA) for the park's Headquarters and Warehouse sites located in Boulder City, Nevada. The purpose of the plan is to resolve space deficiencies and organizational inefficiencies and to establish guidelines for future development of the sites. The master plan would provide comprehensive guidance for long-term, sustainable development of the National Park Service (NPS) Headquarters and Warehouse sites and allow for more efficient park operations.

Currently, NPS staff stationed in Boulder City are dispersed between numerous facilities at different locations. Some of these facilities are portable modular units, and some are historic buildings. In May 2006, the NPS contracted an architectural firm to develop a Space Utilization and Value Analysis Study for the Headquarters and Warehouse sites. The study included alternatives that considered utilization of both the Headquarters and Warehouse sites and an alternative that considered complete consolidation of all NPS programs at the Warehouse site. The EA analyzes the context, duration, and intensity of the impacts related to the no-action alternative and three action alternatives.
