SUMMARY The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to rehabilitate the cafeteria building and relocate parking at Rim Village in Crater Lake National Park. This action is part of the overall guidance for Rim Village identified in the 1999 Crater Lake National Park Visitor Services Plan. This environmental assessment analyzes the impacts of three alternatives. Alternative 1 (no-action) would maintain the existing cafeteria building and parking area. Alternative 2 (preferred alternative) would adaptively reuse the 1928 cafeteria building and 1972 addition and relocate parking. Alternative 3 would rehabilitate the 1928 cafeteria building, remove all additions, construct a new visitor contact building, and relocate parking. The preferred alternative would result in minor to moderate long- term beneficial effects to vegetation and soils, cultural resources that contribute to the significance of the Rim Village Historic District's cultural landscape, the cultural landscape, visitor experience, and park operations. The preferred alternative would also result in minor long- term adverse impacts on soils and vegetation and the cultural landscape and short- term adverse impacts the visitor experience during construction.
