National Park Service

Notice of Availability of the Final

Development Concept Plan/

Abbreviated Final Environmental

Impact Statement for the Entrance

Area and Road Corridor, Denali

National Park and Preserve, Alaska

AGENCIES: National Park Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the

Final Development Concept Plan/

Abbreviated Final Environmental

Impact Statement for the entrance area

and road corridor, Denali National Park

and Preserve, Alaska.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service

announces the availability of a Final

Development Concept Plan/Abbreviated

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(DCP/EIS) for the Entrance Area and

Road Corridor (Front Country) of Denali

National Park and Preserve. The

document describes and analyzes the

environmental impacts of a proposed

action and three other action

alternatives for visitor facilities and

services. A no action alternative also is

evaluated.

DATES: A Record of Decision will be

made no sooner than 30 days after the

date of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the statement are

available on request from:

Superintendent, Denali National Park

and Preserve, P.O. Box 9, Denali Park,

Alaska 99755.

Public reading copies of the final DCP

and abbreviated final EIS will be

available for review in the following

locations:

Office of Public Affairs, National Park

Service, Department of the Interior,

Alaska System Support Office, National

Park Service, 2525 Gambell Street,

Room 404, Anchorage, Alaska 99503–

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mike Tranel, Denali National Park and

Preserve. Telephone: (907) 683–9552

FAX: (907) 683–9612.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 102(2)(C) of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L.

91–190, as amended), the National Park

Service, has prepared a final DCP and

abbreviated final EIS for proposed

visitor facilities and services in the front

country of Denali National Park and

Preserve in Alaska. The final DCP/EIS

includes five alternatives for providing

for visitor use and resource protection

and related facility development in the

front country of Denali National Park

and Preserve. The front country

includes all non-wilderness areas along

the Parks Highway, the Riley Creek/

headquarters area, and the park road

corridor to the Kantishna airstrip. The

five alternatives include a no action

alternative and four action alternatives.

The proposed action as revised in the

final is based on the recommendations

of the Denali Task Force, a committee

formed at the request of the Secretary of

the Interior in 1994, on proposals

received during public scoping, on

previous plans, on planning team work

and impact analysis, and on public

comments on the draft plan.

Facilities and services considered in

the proposed action and in each

alternative include visitor

accommodations, campgrounds, camper

conveniences, interpretive facilities,

transportation, parking, bus tours,

bicycle use, rest and picnic areas,

concessions, road maintenance, trails,

employee housing, administrative and

support facilities, airstrips, and utility

systems. The alternatives differ in

construction costs, extent and location

of visitor facilities, and corresponding

environmental, social, and economic

impacts.

The Proposed Action (Alternative D)

would provide visitor facilities and

services in the front country to meet a

wide range of visitor needs and

interests. Front country developments

would be limited to actions in which

the NPS has traditionally specialized,

such as interpretive centers,

environmental education opportunities,

trails, and campgrounds. The park hotel

would be closed, and the NPS would

encourage the private sector to develop

visitor service facilities

(accommodations, food service, and

other commercial services) outside the

park. The existing Visitor Access Center

would be remodeled and expanded to

serve as an interpretive and discovery

center, and a new visitor services

building and parking would be

constructed nearby. Camper

convenience services would be

provided in this same area and the

existing store and temporary shower

building would be removed. Some

buildings in the former hotel area would

be adaptively used to provide an

environmental education and science

facility. New permanent rest areas

would be constructed at Savage and

Toklat. Additional trails would be

constructed primarily in the Nenana

River and Savage River areas. New

campsites would be developed in the

entrance area, the Nenana River

corridor, and in the Kantishna area.

Road maintenance and repair would be

upgraded to address safety concerns and

major structural failures along the park

road. These actions would be phased in

over the 15 to 20-year life of the plan.

Alternative A (No Action—Continue

Current Management Direction)

represents no change from current

management direction. With the

exception of development concepts not

yet implemented, it continues the

present course of action set forth in

existing management plans and

guidance documents including the

Statement for Management (1995) and

the General Management Plan/Land

Protection Plan/Wilderness Suitability

Review (1986). This alternative

represents the existing situation in the

park, so existing facilities and services

would remain. For example, the

temporary park hotel would be

rehabilitated as funds allow, adaptive

use of historic structures and

overcrowding of administrative space

would continue, campgrounds would

not be expanded, and no new trail

construction or additional trail

maintenance would be done.

Alternative B (Implement

Development Concepts from Previous

Plans) would fully implement previous

planning decisions and development

concepts contained in approved plans

such as the 1986 General Management

Plan and the 1992 Amendment to the

1983 Development Concept Plan/

Environmental Assessment for the park

road corridor and 1987 addendum (1992

Riley Creek Amendment). These

documents not only propose additional

facilities throughout the park to support

NPS operations; they also propose

increased visitor services and facilities

within the park entrance area. Examples

of new facilities proposed include a new

hotel and camper convenience center to

replace existing temporary facilities, a

hostel in the entrance area, a new

interpretive center with additional

administrative space, a 50-site

expansion to Riley Creek campground,

and upgraded trail maintenance in the

entrance area.
