time. Comments may be submitted by

several methods. You may attend one of

the public open houses noted above.

You may mail comments to: General

Management Plan, Voyageurs National

If individuals submitting comments

comments. As always, the NPS will

make available to public inspection all

submissions from organizations or

The purpose of the General

Management Plan/Visitor Use and

Facilities Plan is to set forth the basic

management philosophy for the Park

and to provide the strategies for

addressing issues and achieving

identified management objectives. The

DGMP/DEIS describes and analyzes the

environmental impacts of a proposed

action and two action alternatives for

the future management direction of the

Park. A no action alternative is also

evaluated.

Alternative 1 is the no-action

alternative. It would continue current

management practices and actions, and

provides a baseline for comparison of

the other alternatives. The proposed

action combines elements from all of the

alternatives and presents a balanced

approach for resource management and

visitor use.

Alternative 2 emphasizes resource

preservation, providing a greater

balance in the types of visitor uses and

experiences, and focusing partnerships

on preservation, visitor services,

facilities, and information. This

alternative would provide more

opportunities for visitors to experience

solitude and a natural setting.

Alternative 3 emphasizes the visitor

experience. The widest range and

largest quantity of activities, facilities,

and experiences consistent with the

Park’s mission, purpose, and

significance would be developed.

Resource protection to ensure a quality

visitor experience would be

emphasized.

The responsible official is Mr.

William Schenk, Midwest Regional

Director, National Park Service.
