Crater Rim Drive Rehabilitation

Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park proposes to rehabilitate 2.8 miles of Crater Rim Drive, beginning just after the junction with State Highway 11 (just before the park entrance station), and continuing to the gate just west of the Jaggar Museum parking area.

The Crater Rim Drive Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment (EA) is available for public review and comment. The EA is available for a 30-day public review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and National Park Service guidelines. The comment deadline for the EA is June 30, 2010; comments must be transmitted or postmarked no later than this date.

The EA has been distributed to Hawaii Island public libraries and the Hawaii State Library. The document is available electronically from the park's website and on the National Park Service's Planning, Envionment, and Public Comment site (PEPC) at http://parkplanning .nps.gov/havo
