Visitor Education and Research/Museum Facility Environmental Assessment

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (Monument) proposes to construct a new visitor education and research/museum facility near the farmhouse which currently serves as the Monument's interim visitor center.

This Environmental Assessment evaluates two alternatives; a no-action alternative and an action alternative. The no-action alternative describes the current conditions if no visitor education and research/museum building were constructed, while the action alternative addresses the removal of two existing buildings and construction of the new visitor education and research/museum building in roughly the same area as the farmhouse/interim visitor center. The action alternative also addresses the use of a temporary visitor center building during construction of the new building, as well as other connected actions such as building demolition, relocating and/or installing utilities (electric, water, sewer, etc.), landscaping and disturbed site restoration, and site work.
