Jkt 220001
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the disposition of the Bureau of
Mines property, Twin Cities Research
Center Main Campus (Center),
Hennepin County, Minnesota. On
January 15, 2010, the Midwest Regional
Director approved the ROD for the
project. As soon as practicable, the NPS
will begin to implement the preferred
alternative contained in the final EIS.
The Department of the Interior
(Department) selected Alternative D
(Modification of Land, Structures, or
Other Improvements by the Federal
Government Prior to Conveyance or
Retention of the Center), the preferred
alternative, as described in the final EIS
for the disposition of the Center issued
in December 2009.
Under Alternative D, the Federal
Government will manage and bear the
cost of modification for all or part of the
land, structures, or other improvements
prior to conveyance or retention of the
Center. Following completion of the
modifications, the Federal Government
will dispose of the Center property
through a transfer to a university or
nonfederal government entity without
conditions, or a transfer to a university
or nonfederal government entity with
conditions, or will retain the property.
The Department also selected the open
space/park land use scenario that will
convert the Center property to open
space and natural areas where the focus
will be on restoration and use of the
natural environment. This will be
accomplished by removing some or all
buildings, structures, and roadways.
Nonnative plant species will be
identified and removed. Native
vegetation will be planted and the site
naturalized to recreate the historic
characteristics of an open oak savanna,
prairie-type setting typical to this
vicinity.
The Department—after consideration
of the findings of the EIS, the review of
responses received on the request for
proposals for future use of the Center
property, and the fact that the Center
property is located within the
Mississippi National River and
Recreation Area (MNRRA) boundary—
determined that future management
authority will be transferred to the NPS.
The ROD includes a statement of the
decision made, synopses of other
alternatives considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
environmentally preferable alternative,
a finding on impairment of park
resources and values, and an overview
of public involvement in the
decisionmaking process.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Final Environmental Impact Statement;
Yosemite Institute Environmental
Education Campus; Yosemite National
Park; Mariposa and Tuolumne
Counties, CA; Notice of Availability
SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 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, has prepared a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) identifying and evaluating three
alternatives for redeveloping the
Yosemite Institute Environmental
Education Campus in Yosemite National
Park, California. Yosemite Institute (YI)
is a non-profit park partner which has
provided environmental education in
Yosemite since 1971, and since 1973
has been based at the former Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) camp at
Crane Flat. The Final EIS for the
proposed new campus identifies and
analyzes two ‘‘action’’ alternatives and a
‘‘no-action’’ alternative. The full
spectrums 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
public review requirements of § 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act.
Range of Alternatives: Under
Alternative 1 (No Action), there would
be no change in the environmental
education program, location, or
conditions at the Crane Flat campus.
Necessary maintenance and repairs
would continue, but no major
improvements, rehabilitation of
facilities, or construction of new
buildings would occur. There would be
no change in the number of overnight
accommodations at Crane Flat (76
student bunks and 8 staff beds). The
overall number of students in the park
