DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Draft Yosemite Valley Implementation

Plan and Draft Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement;

Yosemite National Park, California;

Notice of Availability

SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (P.L. 91–190 as amended), the

National Park Service, Department of

the Interior, has prepared a Draft

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement (DSEIS) assessing the

potential impacts of a proposed

Yosemite Valley Implementation Plan

for Yosemite National Park, California.

The DSEIS identifies and analyzes a

proposed action and three alternatives

for carrying out certain provisions of the

1980 General Management Plan (GMP).

Those provisions call for removing

unnecessary structures, restoring and

protecting recovered land, relocating

facilities out of sensitive or hazardous

areas, and reducing traffic congestion in

Yosemite Valley. This DSEIS also

incorporates the 1992 Concession

Services Plan and pertinent information

from the 1996 Draft Yosemite Valley

Housing Plan with the GMP into a

comprehensive implementation plan.

Each alternative describes a proposal for

the management and use of Yosemite

Valley and discusses changes in the

valley’s developed areas, cultural and

natural resource management,

interpretation and visitor services, and

park operations. The environmental

consequences of the proposed action

and the three alternatives are fully

documented in the DSEIS, and

appropriate mitigation measures to

reduce or eliminate impacts are

identified. Once approved, the plan will

provide implementation guidance for

carrying out provisions of the GMP.

Proposal

Under Alternative 2 (the proposed

action), the National Park Service (NPS)

would emphasize a comprehensive

approach to carrying out the provisions

of the GMP and subsequent plans.

Implementation of the proposed action

would allow for approximately 147

acres in the east end of the valley to be

restored to natural conditions, 82 acres

redesigned, and 38 acres developed to

accommodate relocated facilities or

functions. An orientation/transfer

facility would be located in the west

end of the valley at Taft Toe. Day use

visitors and out-of-park transit bus

riders would be intercepted there and

would use the valley shuttle bus system
