General Management Plan, Environmental Impact Statement, Fort
Davis National Historic, Texas
AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement
for the General Management Plan, Fort Davis National Historic Site.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act,
the National Park Service is preparing an environmental impact
statement for the General Management Plan for Fort Davis National
Historic Site. This statement will be approved by the Regional
Director, Intermountain Region.
The plan is needed to guide the protection and preservation of the
natural and cultural environments considering a variety of interpretive
and recreational visitor experiences that enhance the enjoyment and
understanding of the park resources.
The effort will result in a comprehensive general management plan
that encompasses preservation of natural and cultural resources,
visitor use and interpretation, roads, and facilities. In cooperation
with local and national interests, attention will also be given to
resources outside the boundaries that affect the integrity of park
resources. Alternatives to be considered include no-action, the
preferred alternative, and other alternatives addressing the following
questions:
How can we best protect what is important for preserving the park
and providing for visitor use for present and future generations?
What level and type of use is appropriate to meet the purpose and
significance of the park?
What facilities are needed to meet the mission goals of the park
regarding park operations, visitor use and interpretation, natural
resource management, and partnerships?
What boundary adjustments have been made that are feasible to the
National Park Service and enhance and support the purpose and
significance of the park?
A scoping brochure has been prepared outlining the issues
identified to date. After, December 15, 1998, copies of that
information can be obtained at the general management plan website:
