Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices 55063 

from June 20, 2008 to August 18, 2008. 

During that time, the NPS distributed 

nearly 150 hard copies and compact 

discs of the draft. The draft was also 

made available at Park headquarters, on 

the Internet, and at area libraries. Four 

public meetings were held on July 21, 

22, 23, and 24, 2008, attended by a total 

of 24 persons. Comments were received 

from 33 persons on the document 

during the public review period. 

Comments from individuals, groups, 

and public agencies on the alternatives, 

the preferred alternative, and the 

environmentally preferable alternative 

were considered. 

Alternative B, both the NPS preferred 

and environmentally preferable 

alternative, was selected because it will 

effectively reduce and maintain the herd 

size to target population goals while 

preserving the current natural 

distribution and movement of elk in and 

out of the Park. It will also reduce 

adverse impacts to elk (from stress), 

bison, prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, 

air quality, and soils from carcass 

disposal. It will also provide expanded 

hunting opportunities outside the Park 

and make full use of elk meat (versus 

wasting the resource), and will not 

increase elk-to-elk contact of potentially 

CWD-infected animals in corral 

situations. 

Alternative B, the selected alternative, 

focuses on the hunting of elk on public 

and private lands outside the Park to 

reduce and maintain the Park’s elk 

population. Movable sections of fence 

(gates) will be installed along the 

boundary fence to allow elk, but not 

bison, movement. The gates will be 

closed during hunting seasons to 

minimize elk reentry into the Park. 

Hazing may be used to ensure the 

appropriate number of elk leave the 

Park. The South Dakota Department of 

Game, Fish, and Parks will administer 

the hunt, issue all hunting permits, and 

retain all fees.
