BILLING CODE 4310–FY–M 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement; 

Yosemite Institute Environmental 

Education Campus; Yosemite National 

Park; Mariposa and Tuolumne 

Counties, California; Notice of 

Availability 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as 

amended), and the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 

CFR part 1500–1508), the Department of 

the Interior, National Park Service 

(NPS), has prepared a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (Draft 

EIS) identifying and evaluating three 

alternatives for managing the Yosemite 

Institute Environmental Education 

Campus in Yosemite National Park, 

California. The Draft EIS for the 

proposed Environmental Education 

Campus identifies and analyzes two 

‘‘action’’ alternatives and a ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative. The full spectrum of 

foreseeable environmental 

consequences are assessed and suitable 

mitigation strategies are considered; an 

‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of 

action is also identified. Concurrently 

completion of the EIS process will fulfill 

the public review requirements of § 106 

of the National Historic Preservation 

Act. 

Range of Alternatives: Under the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative (Alternative 1), there 

would be no change in the management 

direction, program, location, or 

conditions at the Crane Flat campus. 

Necessary maintenance and repairs 

would continue, but no major 

rehabilitation of facilities, construction 

of buildings, or improvements to 

utilities would occur. There would be 

no change in size of facilities—the 

number of student and staff beds (76 

and 8, respectively) would remain the 

same. The overall number of students in 

the park per session would remain the 

same (361 students), with the majority 

of students in commercial lodging in 

Yosemite Valley. 

Under both ‘‘action’’ alternatives, new 

energy-efficient, sustainable facilities 

would be constructed to accommodate 

more students on campus, rather than 

using additional commercial lodging in 

Yosemite Valley. These improvements 

would provide a safer environment and 

provide more opportunities for students 

from diverse backgrounds to participate 

in the program. All facilities would 

achieve fire, health, safety and 

accessibility standards. 

Under Alternative 2, the Crane Flat 

campus would be redeveloped, 

doubling its capacity (to 154 students, 

14 staff), and greatly reducing reliance 

upon commercial lodging in Yosemite 

Valley. Most campus buildings would 

be removed and replaced. Historic 

structures on the campus would be 

retained, and some new facilities would 

be constructed. Utilities would be 

upgraded to conserve water, meet 

additional capacity, and achieve health, 

safety, and accessibility standards. The 

new campus would be reconstructed 

largely in its existing location (shifting 

the campus cabins upslope, away from 

a sensitive meadow). Under Alternative 

3 (agency-preferred), a new campus 

would be located at Henness Ridge. 

New facilities would be constructed to 

accommodate 224 students and 20 staff 

and to meet park operational needs. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public 

scoping was initiated in 2002; the park 

conducted two public meetings on June 

26 and June 29, 2002 at the East 

Auditorium in Yosemite Valley. A 

Notice of Intent to prepare a Draft EIS 

for the ‘‘Crane Flat Environmental 

Education Campus Redevelopment’’ 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 23, 2002 established a 45-day 

scoping period (comments were 

accepted through November 14, 2002). 

During the scoping period, NPS held 

discussions and briefings with: tribes, 

park staff, elected officials, public 

service organizations, and other 

interested members of the public. The 

feedback received helped broaden the 

range of alternatives to include 

consideration of additional sites for the 

campus; a Scoping Summary is 

available and may be obtained by 

contacting the park as noted below. 

Copies of the Draft EIS will be 

distributed to the general public, sent 

directly to those who have requested it, 

as well as to congressional delegations, 

state and local elected officials, federal 

agencies, tribes, organizations, local 

businesses, public libraries, and the 

news media. Reference copies will be 

available at park headquarters in 

Yosemite Valley, the Office of 

Environmental Planning and 

Compliance at the NPS Maintenance 

Complex in El Portal, and at local and 

regional libraries in El Portal, Mariposa, 

Oakhurst, Sonora, San Francisco, and 

Los Angeles. The complete document 

will be posted on the Yosemite National 

Park Web page at http:/www.nps.gov/ 

yose/parkmgmt/planning.htm. 

Additional copies can be requested by 

contacting the park through one of the 

methods listed below. Public meetings 

and project site visits will be scheduled 

during the public review period; details 

regarding specific dates, locations and 

time will be posted on the park’s 

planning Web page (address above) and 

announced via local and regional news 

media. 

Review and Comment: All written 

comments must be postmarked or 

transmitted not later than July 15, 2009 

(this information will also be posted on 

the project Web site and announced via 

local and regional media). All comments 

received will become available for 

public review in the park’s planning 

and compliance office. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. All comments should be 

addressed to the Superintendent, 

Yosemite National Park, and may be 

mailed to Superintendent, Yosemite 

National Park, Attn: Environmental 

Education Campus DEIS, P.O. Box 577, 

Yosemite, California 95389 (comments 

may also be sent by facsimile to (209) 

379–1294, Attn: Environmental 

Planning and Compliance, YIEEC; or 

transmitted electronically to 

Yose_Planning@nps.gov with YIEEC 

typed in the subject line). 

Decision Process: All comments as 

may be received on the draft EIS will be 

analyzed and fully considered in 

preparing the Final EIS, which is 

anticipated to be available for public 

release in Fall-Winter 2009. Availability 

of the Final EIS will be announced in 

the Federal Register and via local and 

regional press media and direct 

mailings. Following a minimum 30-day 

waiting period, a Record of Decision 

will be prepared and notice of approval 

similarly published in the Federal 

Register. As a delegated EIS, the official 

responsible for approval of the project is 

the Regional Director, Pacific West 

Region; subsequently the official 

responsible for project implementation 

would be the Superintendent, Yosemite 

National Park.
