North Unit Visitor Center Replacement FONSI


This document is the completion of the Environmental Assessment (compliance) process. The National Park Service has selected the building site for the replacement visitor center to be just east of the abandoned visitor center. This site will take advantage of an existing parking lot and underground utilities and have minimal environmental impacts when compared to the other alternatives evaluated. The new single story structure will be built on deep-piers to mitigate unstable subsoil conditions and be of similar overall size. The next phase of this project will be the removal of the abandoned visitor center followed by site rehabilitation. Funding permitting, the new visitor center is not expected to be constructed sooner than 2017.
