Description:

The project will repair or replace critical park infrastructure and visitor facilities damaged in the 2018 eruption addressing the NPS long term operational and visitor use needs.

1. DEMOLISH AND REPLACE HAVO VOLCANO DISASTER DAMAGED FACILITIES AT UEKAHUNA BLUFF AND JAGGAR MUSEUM

The project will address the repair and replacement of facilities and functions lost at Uēkahuna in a 2018 volcanic event. At Uēkahuna, three buildings and two water tanks will be removed. A new water tank and foundation will be installed to support the existing comfort station on site and an existing campground off site. Existing outdoor facilities will be repaired and expanded to maintain and improve visitor use at the site. The existing comfort station will have a portion of the utilities replaced to maintain service after the other buildings are removed.

2. REALIGN CRATER RIM DRIVE AND EXPAND ENTRANCE STATION TO IMPROVE VISITOR SAFETY

The project will realign Crater Rim Drive in the area of the park Entrance Station to improve visitor safety.

b. The entrance road will be widened with the addition of an administrative bypass lane entering the park and a formal pull-off exiting the park. Staff parking at the entrance station will be relocated.

3. REPLACE DAMAGED FIBER OPTIC LINE

The proposed backbone fiber optic will be aboveground and supported on precast concrete blocks or tube supports, except at roadway and walkway crossings or in public areas where it will be buried and encased concrete. The proposed fiber optic system includes all necessary junction boxes, handholes, patch panels, blackboards and associated appurtenances need to provide fiber optic service to the park’s administrative buildings. Approximately 4,300 linear feet is buried and 4,410 linear feet will be installed aboveground. The existing fiber optic system will be abandoned in place with some exceptions.

4. REPLACE FAILING WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The project will abandon in place or remove approximately 4,100 lineal feet of existing 1”, 6” and 8” buried and above ground steel and copper pipe with valves, pipe supports and appurtenances. The existing pipe will be replaced with approximately 4,590 lineal feet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), ductile iron pipe and fittings, copper pipe and service hose varying in diameter from 1”, 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”, with valves, concrete blocks, restraints, and appurtenances.
