Abstract

Proposes to preserve and protect cave resources of the eight caves located within the Arnold lava tube system and Skeleton Cave by making adjustments designed to reduce or eliminate impacts to caves and cave resources from human use. Includes instituting a self-issuing parking permit program to collect information about visitors and to communicate cave rules, improve the parking area and trail and add an information kiosk at Boyd Cave, relocate the parking area and enforce a seasonal closure for bat winter hibernation at Skeleton Cave, and install bat gates at Wind Cave, Bat Cave, and Charlie-the-Cave. Also includes request for comments and response to comments.
