Construction of Park Housing at East Glacier and Swiftcurrent Developed Areas Environmental Assessment
2015. Construction of Park Housing at East Glacier and Swiftcurrent Developed Areas Environmental Assessment. Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park proposes to build three new residential structures on the east side of the park; one at East Glacier and two at Swiftcurrent. The new housing would replace beds lost when 10 dilapidated residential trailers were removed from the St. Mary housing area. Communities outside the park are currently not able to provide adequate housing options. Therefore, additional NPS housing is needed on the east side of the park to accommodate seasonal staff during the summer. This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates two alternatives: A no action alternative and an action alternative. Under no action, no new housing would be built. Under the action alternative, a one-story fourplex and a two-story eightplex would be constructed in the Swiftcurrent housing area at Many Glacier, and a one-story duplex would be constructed at the East Glacier NPS developed area.
