SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, the National Park Service 

announces the availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement/ 

General Management Plan (FEIS/GMP) 

for Walnut Canyon National Monument, 

Arizona. 

DATES: The FEIS/GMP was on public 

review from November 6, 2001 through 

January 7, 2002. Responses to public 

comment are addressed in the 

documents. A 30-day no-action period 

will follow the Environmental 

Protection Agency’s Notice of

available from the Superintendent, 

Flagstaff Area National Monuments 

(Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano, and 

Walnut Canyon), 6400 N. Highway 89, 

Flagstaff, Arizona 86004. Public reading

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Walnut Canyon FEIS/GMP evaluates the 

environmental consequences of the 

proposed action and the other 

alternatives on archeological resources, 

historic character of the built 

environment, long-term integrity of 

ethnographic resources, natural systems 

and processes, and threatened, 

endangered, and sensitive species. 

Impacts are also detailed on visitors’

ability to experience park resources; 

park neighbors, local, state, and tribal 

land management plans and land/ 

resource managing agencies; and 

operational efficiency. The preferred 

alternative would preserve untrailed 

expanses, unfragemented natural 

systems, and relatively pristine 

conditions throughout the park. it 

would protect Walnut Canyon as a 

critical wildlife corridor. Visitation 

would be managed with the goal of 

providing quality learning opportunities 

in an intimate atmosphere while 

maintaining the health of the canyon 

ecosystem. The natural soundscape and 

tranquil setting of the canyon would be 

enhanced through strategic placement of 

facilities. The park would remain day 

use only. Efforts would be made to 

provide a broader range of educational 

offerings, and a greater number of 

archeological sites would be available 

for visitation.
