DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Availability of Environmental

Assessment (EA) for Suitland Parkway

‘‘Emergency’’ Tree Pruning to Remove

Obstructions to the Andrews Air Force

Base West Runway

ACTION: Notice of availability of

Environmental Assessment for Suitland

Parkway ‘‘Emergency’’ Tree Pruning to

Remove Obstructions to the Andrews

Air Force Base West Runway.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),

Council on Environmental Quality

regulations, and NPS guidance, the

National Park Service (NPS) prepared an

EA for an ‘‘Emergency’’ tree pruning on

Suitland Parkway, Prince George’s

County, Maryland to remove

obstructions to Andrews Air Force Base

West runway.

This notice announces availability of

an EA on this subject for public review.

This EA is not intended to negate or

replace in any way a larger and more

complex environmental document being

prepared by the U.S. Air Force (USAF)

and the NPS, to deal with the issue of

long term runway landing concerns

involving Suitland Parkway and

Andrews Air Force Base (AAFB).

The USAF has requested that the

National Park Service lower the canopy

heights at several areas at the eastern

end of the Suitland Parkway, Prince

George’s County, Maryland in order that

they may utilize the southern approach

to the AAFB West runway during low

visibility events (rain, fog, clouds). This

approach is presently closed due to tree

obstructions occurring on park property.

The purpose of this emergency action is

to eliminate the tree penetration into the

34:1 imaginary plane and allow the

USAF to reopen their runway approach,

while minimizing the resulting effect on

the appearance and health of the

Suitland Parkway trees, and the habitat

values they provide. Approximately 12

to 24 trees are presently penetrating in

the USAF imaginary 34:1 plane need to

minimally pruned to reduce their

height.

NPS now makes this EA available to

the public for fifteen day from the

publication of the notice. Anyone may

submit a written comment. Any written

comments NPS receives during this

review will be considered prior to

making a decision and finding on this

EA. Commentors are advised that, if

requested, the NPS is required to supply

to any requester, the names and

addresses of the individuals providing

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2001 / Notices 9717

comments. This EA analysis and its

public availability are pursuant to

NEPA, and its regulations, and NPS

authorities and guidance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Requests

for copies of the EA, or for any

additional information, should be

directed to Ms. Susan Rudy, National

Capital Parks-East, 1900 Anacostia

Drive, SE, Washington, DC 20020,

Telephone: (202) 690–5164.
