BILLING CODE 4310–55–M

National Park Service

Lake Mead National Recreation Area,

Arizona and Nevada; Notice of

Availability of Final Environmental

Impact Statement

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 Interior, has prepared a final

environmental impact statement (FEIS)

that describes and analyzes a proposed

action and four alternatives for burro

management within Lake Mead National

Recreation Area (NRA), Mohave County,

Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada.

The draft Environmental Impact

Statement for Burro Management was

released for public review on June 28,

1994 (59 FR 123), and the public

comment period closed August 31,

1994. During this period written

comments were received. The FEIS

contains responses to the comments

received and modifications to the text as

needed in response to the comments.

The goal of the proposed action,

designated in the FEIS as ‘‘Alternative

B: Resource Based Management’’, is the

cessation of environmental change

caused by burros, and the protection of

the natural, cultural, and recreational

resources of Lake Mead NRA. It intends

to allow the restoration of damaged park

lands and the protection and

preservation of native ecosystems not

yet altered by burros. Burros would be

removed, using live-removal techniques,

fencing, sterilization and/or birth

control, from portions of the park that

have been so severely overutilized by

burros in the past that habitat recovery

is not possible with any level of burro

use. Burros would also be removed

within areas that have threatened,

endangered, sensitive, or unique

resources, or where burros cause a

threat to public safety. Burros would not

be allowed to expand into areas that are

currently burro free. Burro presence

would be tolerated in certain areas of

the park where reducing the burro

populations to zero is not prudent or

feasible at this time, due to presence of

burro populations on adjacent Bureau of

Land Management administered lands,

few or non-existent barriers, and the

lack of practical and cost effective

control methods for these areas of the

park. Lands within the park near the

Muddy Mountains and Gold Butte,

Nevada and Arizona; portions of the

Grand Wash not designated as critical

tortoise habitat; and lands within the

park south of the Eldorado Jeep Trail,

Arizona, would be areas where burros

may remain, managed to NPS standards

and prescriptions, in cooperation with

the Bureau of Land Management.

The alternatives under consideration,

in addition to the proposed action,

include ‘‘No-Action or Status Quo’’

(which is the continuance of the level of

management that currently exists within

the NRA), ‘‘No Management of Burros’’,

‘‘Managing a Population of Burros for

Perpetuity’’, and ‘‘Total Removal of All

Burros’’. Major impact topics assessed

for the proposed action and alternatives

include natural resources,

socioeconomic resources, cultural

resources, and burros.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The noaction period on this final

environmental impact statement for

burro management will extend for 30

days after a notice of its availability is

published by the Environmental

Protection Agency in the Federal

Register.

Inquiries about the document should

be addressed to: Superintendent, Lake

Mead National Recreation Area, 601

Nevada Highway, Boulder City, Nevada,

89005; or by calling the park at (702)

293–8949.

For copies of the FEIS, or for further

information, please contact the

Superintendent at the above address or

telephone number. Copies of the

document are available at park

headquarters and at area libraries.
