National Park Service 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the General Management Plan, for 

Manassas National Battlefield Park, VA 

AGENCY: Department of the Interior, 

National Park Service. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the General Management Plan for 

Manassas National Battlefield Park. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42 

U.S.C. 4332(C), the National Park 

Service (NPS) announces the 

availability of a Final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the General 

Management Plan for Manassas National 

Battlefield Park (FEIS/GMP). The 

General Management Plan will guide 

management decisions related to 

cultural and natural resources, 

visitation, and park development for the 

next 15 to 20 years. The responsible 

official is Mr. Joseph M. Lawler, 

Regional Director, National Capital 

Region. 

DATES: A 30-day no action period will 

follow publication by the 

Environmental Protection Agency of the 

Notice of Availability of the FEIS/GMP. 

ADDRESSES: Information will be 

available for public review in the Office 

of the Superintendent, Manassas 

National Battlefield Park, 12521 Lee 

Highway, Manassas, Virginia 20109– 

2005. Copies of the document may also 

be accessed via Internet connection at 

the NPS Planning, Environment, and 

Public Comment (PEPC) Web site at 

http://parkplanning.nps.gov. Paper and 

electronic copies on CD–ROM of the 

FEIS/GMP are also available by request. 

Interested persons and organizations 

can request copies by telephone at (703) 

754–1861, by e-mail at

request to Mr. Ed W. Clark,

Battlefield Park, 12521 Lee Highway, 

Manassas, Virginia 20109–2005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

General Management Plan was on 

review from December 31, 2005, to 

February 27, 2006. Responses to public 

comment are addressed in the FEIS/ 

GMP. 

The FEIS/GMP analyzes three 

alternatives for managing Manassas 

National Battlefield Park. The plan is 

intended to provide a foundation to 

help park managers guide park 

programs and set priorities for the 

management of the park for the next 15 

to 20 years. The FEIS/GMP analyzes the 

environmental impacts of the 

alternatives considered on natural and 

cultural resources, visitor experience 

and interpretation, transportation 

within the park, and park operations. 

Alternative A, the no-action 

alternative, is a continuation of present 

management approaches regarding 

visitor experience and resource 

protection. Alternative B, the preferred 

alternative, would focus on providing a 

comprehensive look at both battles. The 

preferred alternative, as it was described 

in the Draft Environmental Impact 

Statement for the General Management 

Plan, has been modified in the FEIS/ 

GMP based on public and agency 

comments that were received during the 

review period for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

General Management Plan. Alternative 

C would focus on providing a 

comprehensive look at the defining 

moments of the two battles.
