Notice of Availability for a Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the General Management Plan, Big
South Fork National River and
Recreation Area, Kentucky and
Tennessee
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 and National Park Service
policy in Director’s Order Number 2
(Park Planning) and Director’s Order
Number 12 (Conservation Planning,
Environmental Impact Analysis, and
Decision-making) the National Park
Service announces the availability of a
Final Environmental Impact Statement
and General Management Plan (FEIS/
GMP) for Big South Fork National River
and Recreation Area (NRRA), Kentucky
and Tennessee.
The FEIS/GMP analyzes three action
alternatives and one no-action
alternative for guiding management of
the park over the next 15 to 20 years.
The three action alternatives incorporate
various management prescriptions to
ensure resource protection and quality
visitor experiences. The agency
preferred alternative proposes a system
of seven management zones and a
formal, designated roads and trails
system. The FEIS analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of the
alternatives.
Limited numbers of copies
of the FEIS/GMP are available from the
Superintendent, Big South Fork NRRA,
4564 Leatherwood Ford Road, Oneida,
TN 37841, or by calling (423) 569–9778.
An electronic copy of the FEIS/GMP is
available on the Internet at https://

The
National Park Service held a series of
community and focus group meetings to
gather stakeholder input during the
preparation of the Supplemental Draft
EIS/GMP. The meetings assisted the
National Park Service in developing
alternatives for managing the natural,
cultural, and recreational resources of
Big South Fork NRRA.
The four alternatives were
incorporated into the Supplemental
Draft EIS/GMP and presented at
community forums in March 2003.
Responses from the meetings, plus 170
written comments from the public and
other agencies helped refine the
alternatives.
The FEIS/GMP differs from the
Supplemental Draft by providing some
additional recreational opportunities
and proposing trail standards that are
more protective of the backcountry
environment. For example, the final
plan allows bicycles on 13 miles of lowuse, existing trails; provides a new
access point for equestrians; proposes
an additional horse trail on an existing
alignment; and strengthens trail
standards regarding slope and water
management. The foregoing changes
will not result in environmental impacts
different from those analyzed in the
Supplemental Draft EIS/GMP.
