DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement on 

Proposed Brooks River Bridge and 

Boardwalk at Katmai National Park 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement— 

Environmental Impact Statement on 

proposed Brooks River bridge and 

boardwalk at Katmai National Park. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) is preparing an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) on a proposed 

Brooks River bridge and boardwalk, and 

associated access changes, to the Brooks 

Camp Area within Katmai National Park 

and Preserve. The purpose of the EIS is 

to evaluate a reasonable range of 

alternatives for a bridge and boardwalk 

that would span the lower Brooks River. 

The existing floating bridge would be 

removed. A new bridge would provide 

for the existing floatplane access to the 

Brooks Camp Area to continue, with 

planes beaching on the shore of Naknek 

Lake on the north side of Brooks River. 

This proposal would tier off the 1996 

Brooks River Area Development 

Concept Plan (DCP) and EIS. If the 

decision is to construct a new bridge, it 

would result in an amendment to the 

access decision, which called for 

construction of a new floatplane dock, 

breakwater, one-mile access road on the 

south side of Brooks River, and required 

a shuttle system. 

In addition to the No Action 

alternative, the EIS will evaluate a 

reasonable range of alternatives to 

provide improved access to the Brooks 

Camp Area, to better protect natural and 

cultural resources, and to facilitate 

dependable travel between the north 

and south sides of Brooks River. 

Dependable access across Brooks River 

will advance the phased relocation of 

facilities and operations from the north 

side to the south side of the river, as set 

forth in the record of decision following 

the 1996 DCP/EIS. Public input is 

sought by the NPS regarding the range 

of alternatives. This EIS is being 

prepared in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4331 et seq.), and 

its implementing regulations at 40 CFR 

part 1500. 

Scoping: The NPS requests input from 

Federal and State agencies, local 

governments, private organizations, 

recreational users, and the public on the 

scope of issues to be addressed in this 

EIS. Scoping comments are being 

solicited. NPS representatives will be 

available to discuss issues, resource 

concerns, and the planning process at 

public scoping meetings. Scoping 

meetings will be held in Anchorage and 

King Salmon, Alaska in early 2009. 

When public meetings have been 

scheduled, their dates, times, and 

locations will be announced in local 

newspapers and posted on the NPS 

Planning, Environment, and Public 

Comment (PEPC) Web site at http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/KATM. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us to withhold your 

personal identifying information from 

public review, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so. We will always 

make submissions from organizations or 

businesses, and from individuals 

identifying themselves as 

representatives of or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of this EIS should be received 60 days 

after the last scoping meeting referenced 

above. The draft EIS is projected to be 

available to the public in the spring of 

2010. Electronic comments may be 

submitted to the NPS Planning, 

Environment, and Public Comment 

(PEPC) Web site at http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/KATM. Written 

comments also may be mailed or faxed 

to the address and phone number 

provided below.

Ralph Moore, Superintendent, Katmai 

National Park and Preserve, P.O. Box 7,

(907) 246–3305, Fax (907) 246–2116. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Katmai 

National Monument, originally 

designated in 1918 and subsequently 

expanded by four Presidential 

Proclamations, was enlarged and redesignated as a National Park and 

Preserve by the Alaska National Interest 

Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) in 

1980. Brooks Lodge was established in 

the 1950s on the north side of the lower 

Brooks River as a world-class 

recreational rainbow trout and salmon 

fishery and a premier recreational 

destination. In subsequent years, the 

Brooks Camp Area has become a highquality bear viewing location due to the 

large population of brown bears that 

feed on the abundant salmon at Brooks 

River. The Brooks Camp Area currently 

receives up to 15,000 visitors annually. 

In addition to its abundant natural 

resources, the Brooks Camp Area also 

contains an internationally significant 

concentration of cultural resources, with 

cultural remains spanning a 4,500 year 

period and comprising some of the 

largest and most important prehistoric 

cultural sites in Alaska. It is a 

designated National Historic Landmark 

(NHL) and elements of the NHL have 

been nominated as a Cultural 

Landscape. 

The record of decision following the 

1996 DCP/EIS called for the relocation 

of facilities and infrastructure in the 

Brooks Camp Area to the south side of 

the Brooks River. The reasons for the 

proposed relocation were to protect 

natural and cultural resources, 

including prime brown bear habitat, and 

to improve visitor safety by reducing the 

potential for bear/human encounters. 

This proposal helps facilitate the phased 

relocation of NPS and concessionaire 

operations to the south side of the river, 

by providing a safe and dependable 

means of access across the river, and to 

the Brooks Camp Area via floatplane.

Currently, visitors to the Brooks Camp 

Area arrive by floatplane on the north 

side of Brooks River. The start of Valley 

of 10,000 Smokes bus tour is on the 

south side of the river, as are three 

heavily used bear viewing platforms 

that overlook the Brooks River, some 

NPS housing and maintenance facilities, 

and concessionaire maintenance 

operations. 

Providing dependable access across 

the Brooks River will improve safety 

and facilitate traffic flow for access to 

current and future facilities. 

The existing floating bridge is the 

only way the river can be crossed by 

visitors and employees. In 2007, the 

NPS devoted considerable time and 

personnel (2,690 hours) to visitor safety 

at the floating bridge to minimize bearhuman encounters. Over the past five 

years, the total number of bears 

regularly using Brooks River has ranged 

from 43 to 70, which represents more 

than double the number of bears from 

1988–1992. The Brooks Camp Area is 

visited by as many as 300 people per 

day at season peak. A new bridge and 

boardwalk would allow bears to move 

and use preferred feeding areas without 

encountering visitors and staff at ground 

level. In addition, the existing floating 

bridge is past its life expectancy and 

frequently requires repairs due to 

damage by bears, storms and high water 

events, and river current. Erosion 

control and annual rebuilding are 

necessary to keep the current access 

trail intact.
