ACTION:
The National Park Service
(NPS) announces the availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for Replacement of the Scorpion
Pier on Santa Cruz Island, Channel
Islands National Park. The Final EIS
identifies and analyzes the potential
consequences of three alternatives: The
No Action Alternative; Alternative 1,
which would replace the existing pier in
the current location and make extensive
road improvements; and Alternative 2,

which would construct a new
replacement pier south of the existing
location and make minor road
improvements. It also proposes
mitigation measures to minimize the
adverse impacts from construction or
operation of the alternatives where such
impacts may occur.
DATES: The NPS will execute a Record
of Decision no sooner than 30 days after
the date of publication of the Notice of
Availability published in the Federal
Register by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
ADDRESSES: The Final EIS is available
for public inspection online at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov.chis, in local
public libraries, and in the office of the
Superintendent, Channel Islands
National Park, 1901 Spinnaker Dr.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Santa
Cruz Island is one of five remote islands
spanning 2,228 square miles of land and
sea comprising Channel Islands
National Park. Given necessity for boat
access to the island, need for the Project
is driven by the following factors:
• Scorpion Pier should provide safe
access to Santa Cruz Island. The existing
pier is deteriorating and does not meet
NPS requirements for administrative use
or safe visitor access. The access road to
the current location also requires
frequent rebuilding. The current height
of the pier cannot sufficiently
accommodate high and low tides; as
such, vessel operators have difficulty
docking without compromising risk to
individuals, vessels, and the pier itself.
The embarkation process requires
passengers to climb—one person at a
time, often while carrying a backpack—
a single unsteady ladder that is not
compliant with standards for accessible
design.
• Scorpion Pier should provide
efficient access to Santa Cruz Island that
accommodates visitor demand. The
existing pier and access road
significantly weaken the efficiency of
NPS operations. The one-person ladder
needed for embarkation, for example,
lengthens the entire boarding process
and increases visitor exposure to
adverse weather conditions. The narrow
width of the pier also causes delays
because it cannot simultaneously
accommodate visitors and large cargo
(i.e., maintenance vehicles); as such,
passenger embarkation must occur
separately from many maintenance

activities. Additionally, the lack of
adequate armoring in the area increases
the need for regular and expensive
repairs to the eroding access road.
Improvement of the pier and access road
is necessary to meet current and future
visitor demands.
• Scorpion Pier and the access
roadway should be operated in a
manner that protects sensitive
resources. The access road is extremely
susceptible to harsh weather conditions,
and is often washed out by Scorpion
Creek when it floods. Maintenance of
the existing pier access road currently
requires repairing and re-grading several
times per year due to wave and storm
erosion. As a result of these grounddisturbing activities, sensitive
archaeological resources may be
threatened. Ongoing re-construction can
also impact the environment through air
emissions, erosion, and possible
pollutants to waterways and sensitive
habitats.
• Scorpion Pier should provide
access to Santa Cruz Island in
consideration of predicted sea level rise.
The predicted rise in sea level due to
global warming must also be considered
in the new design for the pier. Current
predictions range from 0.33 foot to 1.1
foot by the year 2050, and 0.74 foot to
3.2 feet by 2100. Anticipated sea level
rise has implications for the new pier
design, as well as for the dynamics of
Scorpion Creek during large storm
events.
Accordingly, key project objectives
include: (1) Improve the visitor
experience; (2) Improve the pier while
protecting marine and terrestrial
environments; (3) Improve access for
NPS and concessioner boats; (4)
Improve passenger, cargo, and
operations circulation; (5) Protect
archaeological resources; (6) Preserve
the historic landscape qualities and
visual character of Scorpion Ranch; and
(7) Improve efficiency and
sustainability.
The Draft EIS was made available for
public review and comment from
October 9, 2015, through December 18,
2015. The full text and graphics were
also posted on the NPS Planning,
Environment and Public Comment Web
site (https://parkplanning.nps.gov/chis).
During the review period, the NPS
received only six separate pieces of
correspondence—the majority of
comments were in regards to the general
planning process and project design, as
well as concerns about protecting
aquatic biological resources and air
quality. There were no objections to the
proposed actions. After considering all
comments received, the NPS prepared
the Final EIS. There are no substantive
