DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Notice of Assessment of Suitability
and Non-Suitability for Further Study
of Lands Within Cape Cod National
Seashore for Consideration as
Wilderness Areas
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Civil Action No.
03–04 (RMC), The Wilderness Society v.
Gale Norton, January 10, 2005, and in
accordance with National Park Service
(NPS) Management Policies 2001
section 6.2.1, the NPS has completed a
Wilderness Suitability Assessment to
determine if lands within Cape Cod
National Seashore meet criteria
indicating suitability for designation as
wilderness.
The Cape Cod National Seashore
assessment found that the lands
referenced within the park’s General
Management Plan as Natural Zones: (1)
Are predominantly roadless and
undeveloped; (2) are greater than 5,000
acres in size or of sufficient size as to
make practicable their preservation and
use in an unimpaired condition; and (3)
meet the wilderness character criteria
listed in section 2(c) of the Wilderness
Act, and NPS Management Policies
(2001).
The assessment also found that the
remaining areas of Cape Cod National
Seashore; (1) Are not predominantly
roadless and undeveloped; (2) are not
greater than 5,000 acres in size or of
sufficient size as to make practicable
their preservation and use in an
unimpaired condition; and (3) do not
meet the wilderness character criteria
listed in the Wilderness Act and NPS
Management Policies (2001).
Based on these findings, the NPS has
concluded that the Natural Zones
within Cape Cod National Seashore
warrant further study for possible
inclusion in wilderness.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the Wilderness
Suitability Assessment can be obtained
by writing to:
Superintendent, Cape Cod National
Seashore, 99 Marconi Site Road,
Wellfleet, MA 02667.
