The National Park Service has prepared an Environmental Assessment to analyze potential impacts and benefits of proposed alternatives intended to rehabilitate the Camp Muir Historic District, which is located in Mount Rainier National Park.
The Environmental Assessment evaluates four alternatives including a no action alternative, and three action alternatives in which historic structures would be retained, and non-historic structures would be replaced or removed. The functions of structures would be optimized to improve visitor and employee safety while protecting natural resources, adjacent Wilderness, and the National Historic Landmark District.
Three public meetings are planned, one in Seattle at REI on August 1; at Mount Rainier National Park Headquarters, 55210 238th Avenue E. (Tahoma Woods Education Center) on August 9; and in Tacoma the week of August 6, location and date to be announced. Meetings will be from 6-8 p.m.
Details are listed at the website below.
