general management plan, Isle Royale

National Park, Keweenaw County,

Michigan.

SUMMARY: The National Park Service, in

compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) will prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS)

on a general management plan for Isle

Royale National Park.

Isle Royale National Park currently

operates under a Master Plan written in

1963. Because the master plan is

severely outdated, the park does not

have a comprehensive plan to set forth

the basic management philosophy for

the park, direct decision-making, and

provide strategies for addressing issues

and achieving management objectives.

This planning effort will result in a

comprehensive general management

plan that guides the future use of

resources and facilities; identifies future

needs for facility types; clarifies

research and resource management

needs and priorities; encompasses

preservation of natural and cultural

resources; and addresses changing

levels of park visitation over the next

10–15 year period. Carrying capacity

issues will be addressed by

incorporating the Visitor Experience

and Resource Protection (VERP) process

into the general management plan effort.

The EIS will describe a range of

alternatives for management of Isle

Royale National Park, including the no

action alternative, and analyze their

impacts on natural and cultural

resources, recreation use, and any other

current uses.

Major issues to be addressed in the

EIS will include the following:

1. Island visitation has outgrown park

infrastructure and operations. This

contributes to crowding that already

occurs in some areas due to the

commercial boat schedules.

2. Increasing motorized boat use is

taxing park operations and

infrastructure and is causing friction

between motorized and nonmotorized

users.

3. Visitor facilities are deteriorating. It

is increasingly difficult and expensive

to replace these facilities due to laws

passed since 1963. It is currently

undetermined what facilities are

appropriate on the island and if

facilities should be enlarged to respond

to the increasing visitation or if

visitation should be limited and

facilities reduced.

Additional issues to be addressed in

the EIS may be identified during the

scoping process. Federal, State, local

agencies, and individuals or

organizations are invited to participate

in the scoping process. The scoping

process includes:

1. Identification of potential issues.

2. Identification of potential impact

topics and topics to be analyzed in

depth.

3. Determination of potential

cooperating agencies and assignment

of responsibilities.

Public scoping will begin in summer

of 1995 and continue through the fall.

Prior public notice of scoping processes

will be issued. The public is encouraged

to send written comments and

suggestions concerning preparation of

the EIS to Mr. Doug Barnard,

Superintendent, Isle Royale National

Park, 800 East Lakeshore Drive,

Houghton, Michigan 49931–1895. The

National Park Service will accept

comments at this address at any time

during the EIS process. However, to

facilitate timely identification of issues

and impact topics to be addressed in the

EIS, the National Park Service

recommends that initial comments be

submitted by October 31, 1995.

The responsible official is William W.

Schenk, Regional Director, Midwest

Region, National Park Service, Omaha,

Nebraska.
