ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR SUNSET CRATER VOLCANO NATIONAL MONUMENT WASTEWATER SYSTEM PROJECT


Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument (SUCR) is proposing to replace the existing wastewater system, which consists of one septic tank. The wastewater system was built around 1965 to serve the visitor center, maintenance annex, and employee housing (i.e., 2 apartment units). The existing wastewater system consists of one 6,000 gallon septic tank, which is regularly plugged. The existing wastewater system has been passing solids through the septic tank and clogging the distribution box. SUCR proposes to replace the existing wastewater system to meet the U.S. Health Public Service standards. The replacement of the existing wastewater system will accommodate the current and future wastewater use for the current annual visitation numbers, and the additional housing units, plus the projected annual visitation numbers. The wastewater system will be located on Coconino National Forest land.
