# Supplementary Information:

                     The DGMPA/DEIS analyzes 3 alternatives for managing the Green Spring unit of Colonial National Historical Park.                     *Alternative A*, the No Action Alternative, continues the existing management direction at the site with no general visitor access, no visitor services or interpretation and minimal maintenance of resources.                     *Alternative B*                     relies on currently identified core archeological features and would focus additional research, site improvements, visitor access and interpretation on a core archeological area on one side of the park site that is currently bisected by Centerville Road.                     *Alternative C*, the preferred alternative, would be predicated on a cooperative effort with local officials to remove Centerville Road, which bisects the site and detracts from the safety and quality of the park environment, and is inconsistent with the historic setting.                

The DGMPA/DEIS in particular evaluates the environmental consequences of the proposed action and the other alternatives on cultural resources, natural resources, visitor experience, socioeconomic environment, and transportation and site access.
