In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Marsh-
Billings National Historical Park (Marsh-Billings NHP), located in
Woodstock, Vermont. The purpose of the EIS is to assess the impacts of
alternative management strategies which will be described in the
General Management Plan for Marsh-Billings NHP. A range of alternatives
will be formulated for natural and cultural resource protection,
visitor use and interpretation, facilities development, and operations.
The NPS will hold a series of community meetings throughout the
spring of 1994, which will serve as public scoping for the GMP/EIS. The
meetings, which will be announced through various local media will be
held at various locations throughout the community. Additionally, the
NPS will issue a community survey in May 1994. The purpose of these
meetings and the survey is to obtain both written and verbal comments
concerning the future development of Marsh-Billings NHP. Those persons
who wish to comment verbally or in writing, who wish to participate in
a small group meeting, or to complete a questionnaire should contact
Marjorie Smith, Planning Team Captain, North Atlantic Region, National
Park Service, 15 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109-3572, or

public review in 1995. After public and interagency review of the draft
document, comments will be considered, and a final EIS and Record of
Decision will be prepared.
