New toilets at South Tufa
Funding for improvements in the South Tufa area comes in part from fees collected at the Forest Service Visitor Center as well as at South Tufa. A reported 80% of fees collected go directly back to the area where they are collected for development of facilities, interpretive programs, and other purposes. Because five years have gone by since the original decision on South Tufa improvements, the Committee has requested that the Forest Service hold a public meeting to explain the rest of the planned improvements and consider public comment. With the new toilets in place, it's easier to see exactly how the experience at South Tufa will change with infrastructure "upgrades." Our concern about the scale of South Tufa improvements was heightened when the Forest Service installed six toilets instead of the four called for in the 1993 decision.
