Montezuma Castle Interdisciplinary Maintenance Facility EA

This environmental assessment (EA) is for the interdisciplinary maintenance building for Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments is now available for public review and comment.

The environmental assessment evaluates five alternatives including the no-action alternative and four action alternatives. The no-action alternative describes the current condition. Since 1984, Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments have been leasing through the General Services Administration (GSA) a building located at the Cliff Castle Casino for the park's maintenance division. This lease will end in 2012, and renewing the GSA lease would require substantial investment and extensive upgrades by the lessor.

The preferred alternative (Alternative B) proposes to build a new 4000 sq. ft. interdisciplinary maintenance facility as part of the Park Operations development zone at Montezuma Castle National Monument. As part of this project, a historic maintenance garage/shop would be restored by removing non-historic alterations, stabilizing, and rehabilitating the structure. In order to access the new maintenance facility, the dirt entry road would be upgraded, paved, and widened.
