ACTION: Notice of availability of a
Record of Decision on the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the
General Management Plan, Rio Grande
Wild and Scenic River.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, codified as amended at 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service announces the availability of the
Record of Decision for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement,
General Management Plan for Rio
Grande Wild and Scenic River, Texas.
On February 8, 2005, the Associate
Regional Director, Intermountain Region
approved the Record of Decision for the
project. As soon as practicable, the
National Park Service will begin to
implement the General Management
Plan, described as the Preferred
Alternative contained in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement issued
on January 7, 2005.
The following course of action will
occur under the preferred alternative.
The protection of natural and cultural
resources will be emphasized
throughout the river corridor, as well as
providing opportunities for traditional
visitor uses. As mandated by the Wild
and Scenic Rivers Act, a permanent
boundary for the wild and scenic river
is established for protection and
management of the outstandingly
remarkable values. The National Park
Service will negotiate and implement
cooperative agreements with nonfederal
landowners that specify the rights and
responsibilities of the National Park
Service and each landowner. A river use
plan and resource management plan
will be developed for the entire river.
The NPS will cooperate with other U.S
agencies and the appropriate agencies in
Mexico to maintain or enhance water
quality and minimum flows in the river.
The preferred alternative also
recommends to Congress that the
upstream segment of the Rio Grande in
Big Bend National Park be designated as
part of the Wild and Scenic River.
The selected action and one other
alternative were analyzed in the draft
and final environmental impact
statements. A full range of foreseeable
environmental consequences was
assessed. The full Record of Decision
PO 00000

made, synopses of other alternatives
considered, the basis for the decision, a
