station would be operated within an 

historic building in Coupeville or 

within the historic district (three 

development concept plans for three 

sites are included). As documented in 

the Draft EIS this alternative is deemed 

to be ‘‘environmentally preferred’’. 

Alternative C changes the 

management structure of the Reserve 

from a Trust Board of volunteers to a 

paid Commission structure. Many 

actions are similar to Alternative B but 

with some distinctions. Approximately 

five acres of NPS-owned land at Farm II 

would be retained for administrative 

and maintenance use before exchanging 

the remaining farmland to a private farm 

owner for additional protection on other 

properties within the Reserve. One of 

the three gateways would be in a 

historic building in the north of the 

Reserve. The Reserve would partner for 

a visitor contact facility at a proposed 

marine science center. 

Public Review and Comment: The 

Draft GMP/EIS has now been released 

for public review, and a limited number 

of printed copies are available upon 

request (see below). In addition, the 

document may be reviewed at the 

public library in Coupeville. Also a 

Draft General Management Plan 

Alternatives Newsletter is being issued 

concurrently. Written comments may be 

submitted using several methods. 

Responses are encouraged online using 

the electronic comment form accessed at 

the NPS Planning, Environment and 

Public Comment System (http:// 

parkplanning.nps.gov/ebla). A postagepaid comment response form is 

included in the Alternatives Newsletter 

(additional pages may be attached to 

this form as necessary). Written 

comments may be directly mailed to: 

Rob Harbour, Reserve Manager, Ebey’s 

Landing National Historical Reserve, 

P.O. Box 774, 162 Cemetery Road, 

Coupeville, WA 98239. In addition, oral 

comments may be offered at one of 

several public workshops to be 

conducted in fall, 2005. Confirmed 

details on dates, locations and times for 

these workshops will be announced in 

local newspapers, in the Alternatives 

Newsletter, via the park’s website, or 

may be obtained by telephone at (360) 

678–6084. 

All written comments must be 

postmarked or transmitted not later than 

60 days after the EPA’s notice of filing 

is published in the Federal Register 

(immediately upon confirmation of this 

date it will be announced on the park’s 

website). All comments will become 

part of the public record. If individuals 

submitting comments request that their 

name or address be withheld from 

public disclosure, the request will be 

honored to the extent allowable by law. 

Such requests must be stated 

prominently in the beginning of 

comments. There also may be 

circumstances in which the NPS will 

withhold from the record a respondent’s 

identity, as allowable by law. As always: 

The NPS will make available to public 

inspection all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses; and 

anonymous comments may not be 

considered. 

Decision: Following the opportunity 

to review the Draft EIS/GMP, all public 

and agency comments received will be 

carefully considered in preparing the 

final document. The Final EIS is 

anticipated to be completed during the 

Fall/Winter 2006 and its availability 

will be similarly announced in the 

Federal Register and via local and 

regional press media. As a delegated 

EIS, the official responsible for the final 

decision is the Regional Director, Pacific 

West Region; subsequently the approved 

plan would be implemented by the 

Trust Board, Ebey’s Landing National 

Historical Reserve, in conjunction with 

the Reserve Manager.
