sites considered for the MPRS were on 

undeveloped land on the NAU 

Centennial Forest and adjacent to 

existing development at The Arboretum 

at Flagstaff. It is expected that 

construction will be completed in May 

of 2006. 

A Draft Environmental Assessment 

(EA) has been prepared that analyzes 

the potential environmental effects of 

this proposed action. From the 

information contained in the Draft EA, 

the NSF is prepared to find that no 

significant environmental effects will 

result from construction of the MerriamPowell Research Station on the 

preferred site at the Arboretum at 

Flatgstaff.
