Highway 436 and Parking Lot Rehabilitation at L'Anse aux Meadows NHS

The proposed project looks to rehabilitate the portion of Highway 436 that is within the L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site along with the roads that provide access to the site. In addition, a parking lot extension is proposed for the main parking area to better serve increasing numbers of visitors (i.e. an increase from 45 car parking spaces to 78). Activities for this work will include clearing of the right of ways, ditching, culvert replacements, asphalt milling, and resurfacing the road bed. Additionally, the bus loop will require culvert replacement, scarification and reshaping of the existing access/parking area, and resurfacing of the road bed with new asphalt. Lastly, the main parking lot will be extended on the northeast side and reshaped; work for this includes grubbing, excavation, rock fill, granular placements and asphalt paving. Given the extent of the proposed work (i.e. primarily road maintenance) and the extent of the expansion of the parking lot, it was determined that a basic impact assessment is the appropriate pathway for this project.
