Excerpt from General Management Plan Revision, Development Concept Plan, Interpretive Prospectus<br/><br/>Authorized in 1968, the south unit at Badlands National Park has no permanent facilities. The temporary structures at White River have a remaining lifespan of five more years, and several of the structures (including unit quarters) are in a floodplain, jeopardizing nps staff and investment. No potential campground sites are available out of the floodplain, and no potable water supply exists at the White River site. The site cannot support use and development as described by the enabling legislation for the south unit or as specified in the memorandum of agreement with the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The lack of improvements on Sheep Mountain Table has resulted in a deterioration of resources (roadway erosion, loss of grassland, and littering), and the existing road condition is a threat to visitor safety. Additional use resulting from improved information and interpretation will necessitate improvements to this area. Elsewhere in the south unit, fragile fossils and archeological sites are being threatened by unmanaged use. Cuny and Palmer Creek tables within the boundary of the park lack adequate access. To meet the obligations of the memorandum of agreement with the Oglala Sioux Tribe and to improve management of visitor use and interpretation of the south unit, these areas need road improvements.
