Synopsis
Excerpt from Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Development Concept Plan: Grant Grove/Redwood Mountain Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks, California; 2nd Review Draft; January 1986
In developing the deis, several issues were identified that require resolution: the poor condition and arrangement of overnight lodging units and the intrusion of some commercial facilities on the natural setting of Grant Grove Village; congestion and safety hazards at the Big Stump entrance station, the Y intersection leading to Grant Grove Village, and in some areas of the village itself; the recent increases in winter use and the demand for related services; the interest in and potential for tour group use of lodging facilities at Grant Grove; the projected gradual, but steady increases in overall par'k visitation and the related demands for overnight accommodations; the dispersed arrangement and inadequate size of administrative and operational facilities; and the poor condition and arrangement of both nps and concessioner' housing. Redwood Mountain was included in the deis evaluation because it is close to the heavily used Grant Grove area and provides an alternative experience; the issue concerning this primitive sequoia forest is the extent to which it should be made known and available to the visiting public.

Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Development Concept Plan
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates alternative plans for development and use at Grant Grove and Redwood Mountain in the Sequoia -Kings Canyon National Parks, focusing on improving lodging at Grant Grove. The four concepts analyzed include increasing lodging in a dispersed arrangement, taking no action, consolidating lodging in a hotel, and consolidating lodging in a hotel and detached units. The book also evaluates environmental, economic, and operational impacts of these alternatives and their effects on the area's giant sequoia groves. The discussion looks at increasing winter use and potential tour group demand, as well as the need for more employee housing. The author presents details on water consumption, road redesigns, visitor facilities, and commercial center redesigns. These plans seek to both develop accommodations while also minimizing the impact on the natural environment. Ultimately, the book provides insights into sustainable development strategies for preserving delicate ecosystems while still accommodating visitors, and its findings can be applied to resource management of similar natural areas.
