DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

General Management Plan; Ross Lake 

National Recreation Area, North 

Cascades National Park Complex, 

Skagit and Whatcom Counties, WA; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement 

Summary: In accord with § 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the 

National Park Service is undertaking a 

conservation planning and 

environmental impact analysis process 

for updating the General Management 

Plan (General Management Plan) for the 

Ross Lake National Recreation Area, in 

northwestern Washington. Ross Lake 

National Recreation Area is 

administratively managed as part of the 

North Cascades National Park Service 

Complex; however, this GMP will 

specifically address the Ross Lake unit 

of the part complex. An Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared 

concurrently with the GMP. The GMP is 

intended to set forth the basic 

management philosophy for this unit of 

the National Park System and provide 

the strategies for addressing issues and 

achieving identified management 

objectives for that unit. Thus, the GMP 

will serve as a blueprint to guide 

management of natural and cultural 

resources and visitor use during the 

next 15–20 years. One or more 

Development Concept Plans, which 

guide more detailed, site-specific 

preservation and development actions, 

may be included with the GMP. 

Consistent with NPS Planning 

Program Standards, the update GMP 

will: (1) Describe the Ross Lake National 

Recreation Area’s (Ross Lake NRA) 

purpose, significance, and primary 

interpretive themes; (2) identify the 

fundamental resources and values of 

Ross Lake NRA, its other important 

resources and values, and describe the 

condition of these resources; (3) 

describe desired conditions for cultural 

and natural resources and visitor 

experiences throughout the Ross Lake 

NRA; (4) develop management zoning to 

support these desired conditions; (5) 

develop alternative applications of these 

management zones to the Ross Lake 

NRA’s landscape (i.e., zoning 

alternatives); (6) address user capacity; 

(7) analyze potential boundary 

modifications; (8) ensure that 

management recommendations are 

developed in conclusion with interested 

stakeholders and the public and 

adopted by NPS after a thorough 

analysis of the benefits, potential 

environmental consequences, and 

economic costs of alternative courses of 

action; (9) develop cost estimates 

implementing each of the alternatives; 

and (10) identify and prioritize 

subsequent detailed studies, plans and 

actions that may be needed to 

implement the updated GMP. 

Scoping Process: A comprehensive 

scoping outreach effort is planned so as 

to elicit early public comment regarding 

issues and concerns, the nature and 

extent of potential environmental 

impacts (and as appropriate, mitigation 

measures), and possible alternatives that 

should be addressed in the preparing of 

the Draft EIS and proposed update to 

the GMP. Through the various scoping 

outreach activities planned, the NPS 

welcomes information and suggestions 

from the public regarding resource 

protection, visitor use, and land 

management. This notice formally 

initiates the public scoping comment 

phase for the EIS process. All written 

scoping comments must be postmarked 

not later than December 30, 2006. All 

comments should be addressed to: 

General Management Plan, Ross Lake 

National Recreation Area, Attn: Bill 

Paleck, Superintendent, North Cascades 

National Park Service Complex, 810 

State Route 20, Sedro-Woolley, WA 

92884–1289. At this time, it is expected 

that public workshops will be hosted in 

towns near Ross Lake NRA, and the 

metropolitan area of Seattle, 

Washington the week of October 16, 

2006, and the week of October 23, 2006. 

Detailed information regarding these 

meetings will be posted on the GMP 

Web site (http://parkplanning.nps.gov/ 

rola). All participants will be given the 

opportunity to ask questions and 

provide comments to the planning team. 

The GMP Web site will provide the
