Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement,
Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Washington
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability of abbreviated Final Environmental
Impact Statement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) announces the availability of
a Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/
EIS) for Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Washington. The final
GMP/EIS proposes a new plan for managing the national recreation area
that would emphasize maintaining the existing visitor experience by
increasing the capacity of existing facilities where feasible and by
redirecting other increases in visitation to less used facilities.
Approximately 1,400 copies of the draft GMP/EIS were distributed to
the public. The review and comment period began on November 1, 1998,
and ended January 31, 1999. All comments received were reviewed and
considered by the NPS in the preparation of the final GMP/EIS. This
document is in an abbreviated format and contains a series of
corrections and revisions describing changes to the text of the draft,
copies of substantive comment letters received from all agencies and
organizations, and responses to all substantive comments. A copy of the
draft is needed to understand the corrections and revisions.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The no-action period on this final GMP/EIS
will expire 30 days after the Environmental Protection Agency has
accepted the document and published a notice of availability in the
Federal Register. Following the no-action period, a record of decision
to implement the proposed action will be signed. All who submitted
substantive comments on the draft GMP/EIS will receive a copy of the
final. In addition, the document has been placed on the NPS website at
http://www.nps.gov. Public reading copies of the final GMP/EIS will be
available for review at the following locations: Office of Public
