SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS 

prepared a draft GMP/EIS for the South 

Unit of Badlands National Park 

combining the plan and an 

environmental analysis. The GMP 

provides a framework for making 

decisions about and managing the South 

Unit’s resources and visitor use for the 

next 15–20 years. 

The draft was made available for 

public review for 75 days ending 

November 1, 2010. During the review 

period, the NPS distributed over 900 

copies of the draft. The GMP team held 

three public open house-style meetings 

on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, plus 

one each in Wall and Rapid City, South 

Dakota, and Washington, DC, during the 

comment period. The draft was also 

made available at the Park offices, on 

the Internet, and at area libraries. 

Over 65 people attended the meetings, 

where individual comments were 

recorded. Additional comments were 

received through letters, comment 

forms, and electronic messages. A total 

of 361 comments were received from all 

sources in response to the Draft GMP. 

Comments from individuals, groups, 

and public agencies on the alternatives, 

the preferred alternative, and the 

environmentally preferred alternative 

were considered. 

No substantive changes were made to 

the preferred alternative as a result of 

public comments received on the Draft 

GMP/EIS. The preferred alternative will 

provide for the preservation of natural 

resources, while offering opportunities 

for visitor enjoyment of natural, 

cultural, and recreational resources in a 

scenic outdoor setting.
