DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Draft General Management Plan/Draft

Environmental Impact Statement,

Boston Harbor Islands National

Recreation Area, Massachusetts

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of Draft

General Management Plan/Draft

Environmental Impact Statement.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Council on

Environmental Quality regulations and

National Park Service policy, this notice

announces the availability for public

review of a Draft General Management

Plan/Draft Environmental Impact

Statement for Boston Harbor Islands

National Recreation Area, Suffolk,

Norfolk, and Plymouth Counties,

Massachusetts. In accordance with the

National Environmental Policy Act

102(2)(C) of 1969, the environmental

impact statement was prepared to assess

the impacts of implementing the general

management plan.

The Draft General Management Plan/

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

presents, in a policy level document,

four management alternatives, including

a preferred alternative and a no-action

alternative, then assesses the potential

environmental and socioeconomic

effects of the actions presented on park

resources, visitor experience, and the

surrounding area. The alternatives differ

in their approaches to management. The

preferred alternative calls for a strong

emphasis on resource preservation,

encouraging most visitors to visit a few

islands while allowing preservation of

many other islands in their ‘‘natural’’

condition. Other alternatives would

emphasize either preserving resources

or accommodating visitors throughout

the island system. The no-action

alternative would continue current

management by a variety of local, state,

federal, and private entities with no new

funding from the National Park Service.

DATES: The formal public review period

is to start on or about June 3, 2000, for

60 days. Eight public forums will be

held during the month of June. The

dates, times, and location of the public

forums will be advertised in local

media.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Copies of

the document will be available for

review at the following locations:

• Boston Harbor Islands National

Park Area, 408 Atlantic Avenue, Suite

228, Boston, Massachusetts 02110

• Public Libraries in Greater Boston

The full document will also be posted
