increase potential for accidents, and (4)
large vehicles have difficulty making the
turn to exit the park, sometimes striking
barriers and kiosks.
To address these issues, the NPS will
be developing a range of alternatives to
restore the Mariposa Grove and improve
visitor experience, consistent with goals
outlined in the GMP. Grove restoration
treatment plans will be informed by
existing and ongoing scientific research
and monitoring. Site design alternatives
may include actions such as (1)
relocating the parking lot away from the
giant sequoias, (2) improving trails and
transportation access within and to the
Grove, (3) repairing, replacing, and/or
removing deteriorating infrastructure
and utilities, (4) redesigning traffic
circulation, and (5) accommodating
parking in the vicinity of South
Entrance, with visitor orientation
information and shuttle stops.
The EIS will describe and analyze a
no-action alternative (maintain current
management, roads, and facilities) and
several action alternatives for restoring
the health of the Mariposa Grove.
Alternatives will be developed
consistent with applicable federal, state,
and local regulations, NPS policies, and
relevant park plans, including the
Merced River Plan (in progress). All
alternatives will include methods to
minimize or avoid adverse effects to
natural, cultural, and historic resources,
and the ‘‘environmentally preferred’’
course of action will be identified.
