Notice of Termination of the 

Environmental Impact Statement for a 

Chronic Wasting Disease Management 

Plan for Shenandoah National Park, 

Virginia 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Terminate preparation of an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The National Park Service 

(NPS) is terminating the preparation of 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS) for a proposed Chronic Wasting 

Disease Management Plan at 

Shenandoah National Park. A Notice of 

Intent to Prepare the EIS was published 

in the Federal Register at 78 FR 13376 

on February 27, 2013. Instead, the NPS 

has prepared an environmental 

assessment to amend its approved 

Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and 

Assessment Plan to include chronic 

wasting disease management actions. 

ADDRESSES: The environmental 

assessment can be viewed at the NPS 

Planning, Environment and Public 

Comment (PEPC) Web site at: http://

cwdplanamendment. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim 

Northup, Superintendent, Shenandoah 

National Park, 3655 U.S. Hwy 211 East, 

Luray, VA 22835. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In October 

2013, the NPS approved a Chronic 

Wasting Disease Detection and 

Assessment Plan for the purpose of 

detecting the presence, and assessing 

the prevalence, of chronic wasting 

disease (CWD) within the boundaries of 

Shenandoah National Park (the park). 

The CWD Detection and Assessment 

Plan was evaluated in an environmental 

assessment (EA) that was released for 

public review in July 2012. Concurrent 

with the detection and assessment plan, 

the NPS initiated an EIS for long-term 

management of CWD within the park. 

The CWD management plan/EIS process 

focused on reducing deer density in 

specific areas as the most effective tool 

for managing CWD in the park. 

However, the results of scoping and 

preliminary analysis showed that the 

impacts of reducing deer density in 

specific areas for CWD management 

would not be substantially different 

than the impacts of the approved 

detection and assessment actions that 

were previously analyzed in the 2012 

EA because the CWD Detection and 

Assessment Plan allows for the lethal 

removal of up to 300 deer for the 

purposes of detection and assessment, 

and specifies the same high deer density 

areas as proposed for managing CWD. 

The main differences are that density 

reductions may be done more frequently 

than lethal removals for detection or 

assessment, and there may be situations 

in which density reductions would be 

carried out concurrently with detection 

and assessment actions, which may 

increase the number of lethal removals 

but not to a level that changes the 

impacts or warrants analysis in an EIS. 

Therefore, the NPS determined that, 

rather than preparing a separate CWD 

management plan, the most efficient 

way to manage CWD would be to 

expand the range of management tools 

in the CWD Detection and Assessment 

Plan to include CWD response actions 

for the purpose of reducing the 

likelihood of establishment, and 

slowing the progression, of CWD within 

the park. The NPS further determined 

that an EA was the appropriate level of 

environmental review necessary to 

evaluate any differences in 

environmental impacts as a result of 

amending the approved CWD Detection 

and Assessment Plan to include CWD 

response actions.

Regional Director, Northeast Region, National
