Cedar Breaks Ranger Station EA

Cedar Breaks National Monument is beginning an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential impacts from the proposed construction of a Ranger Station at the Monument.

The proposed project would be to construct a 3,200 square foot building that would be built primarily to serve visitors through offering an indoor program/meeting space for interpretive programs and to serve as a classroom space for students and school groups and for other community and visitor outreach activities. The ranger station would also serve as a base of operations and visitor contact for law enforcement, search and rescue and emergency medical activities. The facility would also provide office space for Monument staff and park volunteers who serve visitors as campground hosts, present interpretive programs, collect fees, monitor and manage the parks natural and cultural resources and for general park operations.

Portions of the building are proposed to be winterized so that it can be occupied year round; greatly increasing the potential for staff and volunteer presence during the winter months. Several locations have been proposed for the building. Two of the following locations would likely be analyzed in detail in the EA: near the caretakers cabin, near the existing Visitor Center or near the entrance to the campground.
