Notice of Availability of Final

Comprehensive Management Plan/

Development Concept Plan and Final

Environmental Impact Statement for

City of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 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 Final

Comprehensive Management Plan/

Development Concept Plan/

Environmental Impact Statement

(FCMP/DCP/EIS) that describes and

analyzes a proposal and two alternatives

for the management, use, and

development of City of Rocks National

Reserve, Cassia County, Idaho. The

FCMP/DCP/EIS is two documents

bound together in one volume—the

FCMP/DCP which describes the

proposal in detail; and the FInal EIS,

which presents the proposal and two

alternatives, along with the analysis of

the environmental consequences of the

respective implementations.

The Draft Comprehensive

Management Plan/Development

Concept Plan/Environmental Impact

Statement was released for public

review on November 30, 1993 (58 FR

228), and the public comment period

closed February 1, 1994. During this

period, three public meetings were held;

written comments were also received.

The FCMP/DCP/EIS contains responses

to the comments received and

modifications to the text as needed in

response to the comments.

The proposal, which constitutes the

comprehensive management plan for

the reserve, calls for the preservation

and interpretation of exceptional and

important natural and cultural resources

and the management of recreational use

to protect and maintain the reserve’s

scenic quality. The plan’s focus is on

remnants of the California Trail,

distinctive rock outcrops and associated

habitats, and a historic rural setting

reminiscent of the American West,

while accommodating the traditional

use of livestock grazing, trailing, sport

hunting, and recreation. Uses would be

directed to different zones to minimize

conflicts among potentially

incompatible activities. Grazing and

recreational use would be managed to

avoid unacceptable degradation of

resource values, placing greatest

emphasis on protection of historic

fabric, natural rock surfaces, habitats for

species of special concern, and riparian

areas and wetlands. Portions of the

reserve would remain in private

ownership, and some public land would

remain under grazing allotments, where

traditional ranching activities would

perpetuate the historic rural setting

existing at the time of the reserve’s

establishment. Private commercial and

residential development would be

regulated by county zoning ordinances

and may be limited by the acquisition

of interests in lands on an opportunity

basis necessary to protect reserve

resources. Implementation of the

proposal would be a partnership among

the National Park Service, the Idaho

Department of Parks and Recreation, the

Cassia County commissioners, and

private landowners.

An overview of changes that have

been made in the proposal since the

draft plan includes:

(1) The decision on how climbing

would occur outside the foreground of

the California Trail would be deferred to

the climbing management plan;

(2) Some additional areas would be

closed to grazing to protect wetland and

riparian areas. Some decisions on where

grazing would occur would be deferred

to the grazing management plan;

(3) Prescriptions for uses of zones,

subzones, and areas within the subzones

would be eliminated in favor of more

general guidance;

(4) The proposed road around the

south end of the reserve would be

eliminiated;

(5) The Twin Sisters formation would

be managed to emphasize resource

protection and to exclude active

recreational uses, including climbing,

picnicking, and camping; and

(6) A Statement of Findings on

Wetlands has been added. A more

detailed list of changes are in the plan

summary and in appendix I.

The alternatives under consideration,

in addition to the proposal, include the

no-action alternative, which would

continue to emphasize unrestricted

private use and public recreational use,

sometimes to the detriment of

exceptional cultural and natural values,

and an alternative that would

emphasize the preservation and

interpretation of the California Trail and

the rock outcrops to the exclusion of

traditional land use and the historic

rural setting.

proposed action and alternatives

Site Design

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in

accordance with the provisions of the

National Environmental Policy Act (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) that a public

scoping workshop will be held at

Building A, Fort Mason Center on

Thursday, January 12, 1995 from 7:00–

9:00 pm. (p.d.t.) in San Francisco. This

meeting will constitute a public scoping

session for the preparation of a Site

Design Plan and environmental

document. In accordance with section

102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969, Pub. L. 91–190, the

National Park Service is preparing an

environmental document to address the

Crissy Field Site Design. At this time,

the National Park Service has not

determined whether an Environmental

Assessment or Environmental Impact

Statement will be prepared, however

this meeting will serve as the scoping

session for either document.

The responsible official is Stanley T.

Albright, Regional Director, Western

Region, National Park Service. The draft

Site Design Plan and environmental

document are expected to be available

for public review in May 1995. The final

plan and environmental document are

expected to be completed in August

1995.

For additional information on these

items, contact the General

Superintendent, Golden Gate National

Recreation Area, Building 201, Fort

Mason, San Francisco, California 94123.

The main agenda items at the public

workshop will be a presentation of the

approved concepts and actions for the

Crissy Field planning area from the

Presidio General Management Plan

Amendment and Environmental Impact

Statement (GMPA/EIS); identification

and discussion of issues related to this

planning process, public comment to

date, information about the

environmental setting of the site, and

preliminary concepts for alternatives.

The approved GMPA concept for

Crissy Field includes restoration of

wetlands and the historic airfield;

expansion of natural dunes and

improved access to the shoreline;

provision of parking and access to

support boardsailing and other

recreational activities, and an improved

entrance to this park site. This phase of

planning will take this programmatic

concept to a further level of detail for

implementation.

The public workshop announced

above will be the first of several

workshops and meetings conducted

over the next six months by the National

Park Service as part of the planning

process for the Crissy Field area of the

Presidio.

Statements of issues and concerns for

the purposes of scoping will be accepted

through February 28, 1995.

The meeting is open to the public.
