Saguaro National Park » Install Gates and Backfill Mines to Protect Visitors and Preserve Resource Habitat » Document List

The National Park Service (NPS) is preparing a plan to correct health and safety hazards at abandoned mine lands in Coronado National Memorial, Grand Canyon National Park, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, and Saguaro National Park. This is an American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA) project.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to provide the decision-making framework that 1) explores a reasonable range of alternatives to meet project objectives, 2) evaluates potential issues and impacts to park resources and values, and 3) identifies mitigation measures to lessen the degree or extent of these impacts.
