From Staff Reports<\/h3>\n

The National Park Service has released for public review and comment a proposal to return some cabins housing workers in the Old Faithful area back to visitor use.<\/p>\n

The preferred alternative in the Old Faithful Cabin Repurposing and Dormitory Construction Plan Environmental Assessment<\/a> would increase available summer lodging units in the Old Faithful area.<\/p>\n

It would amend a decision from the 1985 Old Faithful Development Concept Plan that called for the removal of all cabins from the area.<\/p>\n

Under the proposed plan, 67 lodge cabin units would return to their original historic use as visitor accommodations, after having served as concessioner employee lodging for about a decade.<\/p>\n

The Park Service said in a statement released to the news media that the plan represents “a commitment to properly preserve these historic cabins.”<\/p>\n

A new dormitory would be built in the Old Faithful administrative area to accommodate the displaced employees.<\/p>\n

The Environmental Assessment and a comment submission form can be found on the National Park Service Planning, Environment and Public Comment web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A hard copy of the EA is available by calling (307) 344-2221, or by writing to: Old Faithful Cabin Repurposing Plan EA, National Park Service, P.O. Box 168, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming 82190.<\/p>\n

Written comments may be submitted online, in person or by mail. Comments will not be accepted by phone, fax or e-mail. All public comments must be received or postmarked by midnight, Feb. 26.<\/p>\n

Once comments are analyzed, the Park Service will make a decision on the final plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
