This Environmental Assessment concerns an activity center proposed in 1980 for development at May Creek, Redwood National Park, California. The assessment contains very little natural resources information as little disruption of the environment was anticipated and no rare species would be affected. A brief vegetation list appears in the appendix. The activity center at May Creek will provide orientation, information and limited food services for visitors in the southern portion of Redwood National Park. The proposal requires a 1,050-foot long paved access road, a parking area with an 84 vehicle, 3 bus maximum capacity, approximately 4,300 square feet of activity deck and landing, an information kiosk, and a small cafe and bookshop for interpretive publications. The proposal will result in the disturbance of soil and vegetation over approximately six acres. Impacts on air and water quality would be small. Minor visitor-elk conflict can occur. Adverse impacts on redwood growth are not expected. Cultural resources have not been identified in the construction area and final placement of roads and structures will be made after the area has been brushed and surveyed for archeological sites.
