Environmental Impact Statement/
General Management Plan; Ross Lake
National Recreation Area, North
Cascades National Park Complex,
Skagit and Whatcom Counties, WA;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement
Summary: In accord with § 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.), the
National Park Service is undertaking a
conservation planning and
environmental impact analysis process
for updating the General Management
Plan (General Management Plan) for the
Ross Lake National Recreation Area, in
northwestern Washington. Ross Lake
National Recreation Area is
administratively managed as part of the
North Cascades National Park Service
Complex; however, this GMP will
specifically address the Ross Lake unit
of the part complex. An Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) will be prepared
concurrently with the GMP. The GMP is
intended to set forth the basic
management philosophy for this unit of
the National Park System and provide
the strategies for addressing issues and
achieving identified management
objectives for that unit. Thus, the GMP
will serve as a blueprint to guide
management of natural and cultural
resources and visitor use during the
next 15–20 years. One or more
Development Concept Plans, which
guide more detailed, site-specific
preservation and development actions,
may be included with the GMP.
Consistent with NPS Planning
Program Standards, the update GMP
will: (1) Describe the Ross Lake National
Recreation Area’s (Ross Lake NRA)
purpose, significance, and primary
PO 00000

interpretive themes; (2) identify the
fundamental resources and values of
Ross Lake NRA, its other important
resources and values, and describe the
condition of these resources; (3)
describe desired conditions for cultural
and natural resources and visitor
experiences throughout the Ross Lake
NRA; (4) develop management zoning to
support these desired conditions; (5)
develop alternative applications of these
management zones to the Ross Lake
NRA’s landscape (i.e., zoning
alternatives); (6) address user capacity;
(7) analyze potential boundary
modifications; (8) ensure that
management recommendations are
developed in conclusion with interested
stakeholders and the public and
adopted by NPS after a thorough
analysis of the benefits, potential
environmental consequences, and
economic costs of alternative courses of
action; (9) develop cost estimates
implementing each of the alternatives;
and (10) identify and prioritize
subsequent detailed studies, plans and
actions that may be needed to
implement the updated GMP.
Scoping Process: A comprehensive
scoping outreach effort is planned so as
to elicit early public comment regarding
issues and concerns, the nature and
extent of potential environmental
impacts (and as appropriate, mitigation
measures), and possible alternatives that
should be addressed in the preparing of
the Draft EIS and proposed update to
the GMP. Through the various scoping
outreach activities planned, the NPS
welcomes information and suggestions
from the public regarding resource
protection, visitor use, and land
management. This notice formally
initiates the public scoping comment
phase for the EIS process. All written
scoping comments must be postmarked
not later than December 30, 2006. All
comments should be addressed to:
General Management Plan, Ross Lake
National Recreation Area, Attn: Bill
Paleck, Superintendent, North Cascades
National Park Service Complex, 810
State Route 20, Sedro-Woolley, WA
92884–1289. At this time, it is expected
that public workshops will be hosted in
towns near Ross Lake NRA, and the
metropolitan area of Seattle,
Washington the week of October 16,
2006, and the week of October 23, 2006.
Detailed information regarding these
meetings will be posted on the GMP
Web site (https://parkplanning.nps.gov/
rola). All participants will be given the
opportunity to ask questions and
provide comments to the planning team.
The GMP Web site will provide the
most up-to-date information regarding
