Book Description
Excerpt from Carlsbad Cavern Resource Protection Plan: Implementation Plan and Environmental Assessment; Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico Carlsbad Caverns National Park proposes modification of the developed area above Carlsbad Cavern. As directed by the park's general management plan (nps, an infiltration study was performed to determine the impacts of the developed area on Carlsbad Cavern and groundwater. This study found contamination of cave pools from parking lot runoff and leaking or overflowing sewage lines and identified potential catastrophic contamination that could be caused by vehicle accidents or fires, structural fires, or fuel leaks. The general management plan also states, that based on the study the park will complete a development concept plan to decide the future of surface facilities over Carlsbad Cavern. This plan and EA fulfills this directive. The goal of this plan is to protect the cave from existing sources of contamination, to prevent future damage to the cave and the groundwater system, and to provide a safe, quality visitor experience. To accomplish these goals, the park considered three alternatives that would 1) eliminate pollution sources above the cave (fuel storage tanks, paved areas, maintenance operations, and park residences), 2) restore natural infiltration above the cave, 3) reduce catastrophic threats (spills, vehicle accidents, fires), and 4) implement mitigation measures to protect natural resources and the public where threats remain.
