Final General Management Plans/

Environmental Impact Statements,

Manhattan Sites, New York; Notice of

Availability of Final Plans and

Environmental Impact Statements

Pursuant to Council on

Environmental Quality regulations and

National Park Service policy, the

National Park Service (NPS) announces

the release of the Final General

Management Plans/Environmental

Impact Statements, Manhattan Sites,

New York. The National Park Service,

Manhattan Sites, New York, has

prepared the Final General Management

Plans/Environmental Impact Statements

for the park unit. These plans provide

the analysis necessary to determine the

alternatives for future management and

use of each of the sites including Castle

Clinton National Monument, Federal

Hall and General Grant National

Memorials, and Saint Paul’s Church and

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National

Historic Sites, New York and

Westchester Counties, New York. In

accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969, the National Park Service is

required to prepare an environmental

impact statement to assess the impacts

of the proposed action(s). The National

Park Service is the responsible federal

agency.

The 45-day no-action period

following the Environmental Protection

Agency notice of availability of the final

Environmental Impact Statement will

end March 31, 1997. At that time, a

Record of Decision will be prepared,

and released soon thereafter.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Superintendent, Joseph T. Avery,

Manhattan Sites, National Park Service,

26 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005

(212–825–6990).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Alternatives for future management and

use of each of the sites listed (Castle

Clinton National Monument, Federal

Hall and General Grant National

Memorials, and Saint Paul’s Church and

Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National

Historic Sites, New York and

Westchester Counties, New York) are

presented and analyzed in the final

document. Under each site there is a

‘‘no-action’’ alternative that presents a

continuation of existing trends and

management, meets the minimum

requirements, and provides a basis to

evaluate the other alternatives. Three

alternatives are proposed for Castle

Clinton National Monument which

range from continuing existing

conditions, provisions for a new Statue

of Liberty/Ellis Island ticketing sales

structure outside of the fort, and one

alternative analyzing preservation of the

old fort walls while providing for an

auditorium and seating for the

performing arts at the site. At Federal

Hall, three alternatives are proposed

which range from continuing existing

management, to preserving and

restoring the structure and installing a

visitor information center, to converting

the use of Federal Hall exclusively to

the public and for collection storage,

with a state-of-the-art visitor

information center and the relocation of

offices to another facility. The proposals

for General Grant National Memorial

include three alternatives which ranged

from providing for the rehabilitation,

security, and maintenance of the

structure and site, to restoring the

structure and site to the original design

intent of the architect and continuing

interpretation through handbooks and

occasional living history programs, to

preserving the tomb and site as they are

and building a visitor center in the

pavilion across Riverside Drive. At Saint

Paul’s Church National Historic Site,

two alternatives are proposed which

range from continuing the interpretive

programs and existing site management

through the cooperators, to changing

park management to the National Park

Service with assistance from the

cooperating association and renting a

facility for curatorial storage and

preservation. Three alternatives are

proposed for Theodore Roosevelt

Birthplace National Historic Site which

include the continuation of interpretive

and site/resource preservation, to

installing a central air-conditioning

system and a closet elevator from the

third to fourth floor.

For copies of the Final General

Management Plans/Final Environmental

Impact Statements for the Manhattan

Sites, New York, please contact the

Superintendent at the above address.
