GRAND CANYON, Ariz. - Rebuild projects were recently approved and signed by Kate Hammond, Acting Regional Director for the Intermountain Region of the National Park Service in what is called "A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)", for the Maswik South lodging complex and the construction of new roads near Maswik South at Grand Canyon National Park.
As stated in a press release, "In October 2018 the National Park Service (NPS) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Maswik South rebuild and new road construction project. This EA, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), evaluated alternatives and analyzed the impacts that would likely result from implementing the alternatives. Public comments received during a 30-day public comment period were used in preparation of the FONSI. The purpose of the project is to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles in the Maswik South area and provide sustainable lodging within the existing site footprint that meets visitor needs and expectations.
