ALTERNATIVE B: RESURFACING, RESTORATION, AND
REHABILITATION
This section evaluates the potential impacts of alternative B.
Park Operations
There would be a minimal change to park maintenance operations as a result of
the implementation of alternative B. The road surface would be replaced,
reducing the need for pothole filling. The road would be chipsealed about every
five years. Improved drainage along the roadside would allow runoff to escape
the roadway and, therefore, have a negligible, long-term, beneficial effect on
snow removal. This would result in a long-term, negligible, beneficial effect to
park operations.
Cumulative Impacts. Past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions
that would have an effect on park maintenance operations include trail
rehabilitation and relocation, the reconstruction of the Rim parking lot, the
waterline replacement from Munson Springs to Garfield, the lagoon project at
Munson Valley, and rehabilitation of the superintendent’s house. The effects of
these projects would be long term and negligible beneficial. The cumulative
effect of alternative B on park maintenance
operations, in combination with other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable
future events, would be long term and negligible beneficial.
Conclusion. Alternative B would have a long-term, negligible, beneficial effect
on park operations. The cumulative effect of alternative B on park maintenance
operations would be long term and negligible beneficial.
