Environmental Assessment: Replacement of Administrative Facilities at Stehekin


This Environmental Assessment details alternatives for relocating administrative facilities out of the floodplain at Stehekin. Existing maintenance and fire facilities would be removed from the floodplain and channel migration zone of the Stehekin River, allowing the lots to be restored to more natural conditions. In accordance with the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area General Management Plan and Final Stehekin River Corridor Implementation Plan/Environmental Impact Statement and Record of Decision, new maintenance facilities would be consolidated in an area near the airstrip and would include shuttle bus storage and maintenance; equipment; a repair building; a fire cache and dorm; helicopter pad; hazardous materials, propane, and gasoline storage; and a solid waste compaction/recycling transfer facility. One single-family house would be built in one of three potential locations in the Stehekin Valley.

We invite you to read the Environmental Assessment and provide comments on the alternatives and their impacts on the environment. Comments will be accepted electronically or via mail at the address posted below through January 20, 2015. Public meetings on this project will be held on the following dates at the following locations. More information on the meetings can be found on the public meetings page.
