Front Country Infrastructure Improvements Project: Environmental Assessment

Valles Caldera National Preserve has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze impacts associated with the implementation of Front Country Infrastructure Improvements in the Valle Grande District intended to enhance visitor experience, accessibility, interpretation of the park's natural and cultural values, and recreational opportunities. The public is invited to submit comments on the proposed improvements by November 03, 2022.

The proposed project includes the construction and renovation of park infrastructure at two locations, within the Cabin District located on the western side of the Valle Grande, and at the Entrance Station located approximately 2 miles into the park from the NM4 intersection.

The full list of modifications and improvements are described in the EA. Many of the improvements would be constructed in such a way that they could feasibly be retained, removed, relocated, or modified in accordance with the long-term direction contained in future planning decisions currently under development at the park. Additional information regarding construction techniques can be found in the EA.
