Strawberry Creek Resource Restoration and Recreation Enhancement Project Environmental Assessment (EA)

The park proposes to implement a project to develop recreational infrastructure in the Strawberry Creek watershed and restore natural resources impacted by dispersed recreation and prior road construction. Public scoping and consultation with Native American tribes was
conducted to develop issues to drive the process. Nine issues were developed from the scoping process. The assessment of environmental consequences for the action alternatives found a mix of negligible to minor short-term adverse effects and minor to moderate long-term beneficial
effects.

The proposed action is to enhance recreational opportunities in the
northern portion of Great Basin National Park (GRBA) while eliminating existing effects to park resources. The proposed action includes: Redesign and rebuild portions of the main access route to correct drainage problems. The proposed action will upgrade the existing road to provide twowheel drive access; Development of a small parking area at the park boundary with a new entrance sign and information kiosk; Delineate and construct a variety of single use and group campsites with picnic tables and fire grates. Install Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible vault toilets. Two or more of the campsites will be made compliant with ADA
accessibility guidelines. In addition, a parking area, small corral and hitching rack will be constructed as an equestrian facility; Construct the Strawberry Creek - Blue Canyon trailhead. A parking area, signing and vault toilet will be constructed; and restore sites impacted from dispersed recreation and prior road construction.
