This draft environmental assessment, prepared by the National Park
Service, deals with the environmental consequences of the construction
of a new dining hall and associated waste water system. The project is
located within the campus of the Pocono Environmental Education Center
(PEEC).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PEEC operates under a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the National Park Service. The center has been
in operation for over 25 years and services over 20,000 people every
year. The existing dining hall is inadequate and in poor structural
condition. Dining is an essential function at the center and there are
no dining establishments within a reasonable distance.
The EA is available for public comment. Any member of the public
may file a written comment. Comments should be addressed to the
Superintendent, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, River
Road, Bushkill, PA 18324.

National Recreation Area, Bushkill, PA 18324, 717-588-2418.
Dated: July 23, 1998.
