Grosvenor Camp Facilities Improvement Program
Katmai National Park & Preserve » Grosvenor Camp Facilities Improvement Program » Document List
The National Park Service (NPS) is considering a facilities improvement program at Grosvenor Camp in Katmai National Park And Preserve to improve health and safety conditions as well as visitor satisfaction at the facility. In accordance with the National Park Service Concessions Management Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-391) and National Park Service Concessions Contract Regulations 36 CFR Part 51, the NPS has entered into a concessions contract with Katmailand, Inc. (Concessions Contract CC-KATM001-01). Section 9(d) of the contract requires the concessioner to implement a concession facilities improvement program that includes the following construction activities:
- Dismantle and remove two employee housing units
- Construct new utility building
- Convert existing bathhouse into employee housing unit
- Construct one new employee housing unit
- Construct new bathhouse
- Construct new wastewater system
- Remove existing wastewater system
- Upgrade and install electrical distribution system
- Remove existing generator shed and dry storage building
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve health and safety conditions at Grosvenor Camp as well as improve visitor satisfaction of the facility. The existing facilities at Grosvenor Camp have not been upgraded since their initial construction. The bathhouse was constructed in 1981; the employee housing units were constructed in 1950 and are considered substandard by the National Park Service; the generator shed is dated 1950; and the dry storage unit was built in 1954. The current sewer system does not meet Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) requirements. Occasionally, the system overflows when the water table is high which causes sanitation problems and creates an attraction for bears. The current electrical distribution system does not meet OSHA standards and the generator is located too far from the buildings it services to provide electricity efficiently. Therefore, this project would enable Grosvenor Camp to be in compliance with OSHA requirements and electric codes as well as NPS standards for employee housing and satisfactory visitor services.
