Available for Public Review: Maswik South Rebuild Environmental Assessment


The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking public comment on the Maswik South Rebuild Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA will be available for public review and comment for a 30-day period from October 25 to November 25, 2018.

Maswik South is located in Grand Canyon Village at the South Rim. The lodging complex consists of six prefabricated, motel-style lodging buildings that provide 90 guest rooms. The buildings were constructed in 1971 and have exceeded their expected useful life of 40 years. Other existing infrastructure at Maswik South, such as sidewalks and roads, is also aging, in poor condition, or not compliant with current laws, codes and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Additionally, the configuration of the Maswik South site contributes to poor traffic circulation and conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles.

The NPS is evaluating two alternatives for addressing the purpose and need of the project. These alternatives include a no action and an action alternative. The action alternative includes demolishing and rebuilding the Maswik South lodging complex within the same general footprint, and constructing three new sections of road (approximately 0.7 miles) in the vicinity of Maswik South.

Xanterra South Rim, LLC currently operates Maswik South under a concession contract with the NPS and would complete this project under the terms of that contract.

To assist the public in understanding the project and providing comments, Grand Canyon is hosting an open house. Interested parties can participate in the following public review meeting:

Wednesday, November 8, 2018
4:00 to 6:00 pm
Shrine of the Ages Auditorium
20 S. Entrance Road
Grand Canyon, AZ 86023

The posters displayed at the public meeting are available for download below.
