Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 9 / Tuesday, January 14, 1997 / Notices 1899

Alternative C (Reduce Facilities and

Services Inside Park) would reduce the

level of development and visitor

services inside the park and encourage

the private sector to provide necessary

new facilities such as overnight

accommodations, campgrounds, and

camper conveniences outside the park

boundary. Major new park facilities

such as an interpretive center and an

environmental education center would

be constructed outside the park as well.

The park entrance area would function

primarily as a staging area for trips

farther into the park rather than as a

destination in itself. This alternative

allows for minimizing resource impacts

and therefore maximizing resource

protection inside the park.

Alternative E (Emphasize Visitor

Services and Recreational Opportunities

Within the Park) would significantly

enhance the visitor experience by

concentrating new development inside

the park and providing a diversity of

visitor facilities and services in the front

country to meet a wide range of visitor

needs and interests. The NPS would

take the leading role in providing new

visitor services. A new hotel would

replace the existing temporary building,

and a hostel or similar low-cost

accommodations would be constructed

at a separate location. A new

interpretive center, a camper

conveniences center, and an

environmental education facility would

be constructed just north of Riley Creek

Campground. Additional campsites

would be developed throughout the

front country. New permanent rest areas

would be constructed at Toklat and

Savage, and trails would be upgraded

and expanded at several locations. Road

maintenance and repair along the park

road would be upgraded to address

documented structural problems as well

as safety concerns and actual structural

failures.

The responsible official for a Record

of Decision on the proposed action is

the NPS field director in Alaska.

sediment, treatment by soil

solidification/stabilization, and disposal

in an appropriate, permitted landfill.
