Notice of Approval of Record of
Decision
Summary: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended)
and the implementing regulations
promulgated by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1505.2),
the Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, has prepared, and the
Regional Director, Pacific West Region,
has approved, the Record of Decision for
the new General Management Plan for
Ebey’s Landing National Historical
Reserve. The 30-day wait period was
officially initiated October 13, 2006,
with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Federal Register notification
of the filing of the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS).
Decision: As soon as practicable the
Reserve will begin to implement as its
new General Management Plan the
Preferred Alternative (with minor
modifications from Alternative B as
described in the Draft and Final EIS);
this alternative was also deemed to be
the ‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course
of action. The selected plan features an
overlay of four management zones on
the Reserve: (i) Cultural and Natural
Preservation Zone, (ii) Visitor Use and
Development Zone, (iii) Administrative
Zone, and (iv) Special Use Zone—these
zones are identified based on resource

condition or character, visitor
experience and appropriate types of
activities or facilities criteria. The new
plan enhances existing programs,
natural and cultural resource
management, and administrative and
maintenance operations. An integrated
pest management program will be
implemented in concert with Reserve
landowners and other partners. Visitor
services within the Reserve are
improved, and information kiosks
would be installed along State Route 20
in the Smith Prairie area and at a
northern gateway location, and at the
Keystone and/or Port Townsend ferry
landings. The Trust Board shall
continue to be responsible for setting
the policies and general actions for the
Reserve consistent with the Reserve’s
enabling legislation, GMP, and relevant
NPS policies and guidelines. This
includes continuing the NPS’s annual
appraisal of Reserve management and
operations under the enabling
legislation. The Trust Board would
continue to oversee management and
protection of lands (including fee and
easements) purchased with federal
money, administer programs and
technical support, participate in local
land use review processes, and advocate
for and support the Reserve. The
Reserve Manager continues to be
employed by and report directly to the
Trust Board (in turn, the Trust Board
will conduct annual operations and staff
performance reviews and submit these
to the Deputy Regional Director, Pacific
West).
Based upon public comments and
refinements desired by the planning
team collaborative, the selected plan
includes several modifications from the
Preferred Alternative as detailed in the
Final EIS, including but not limited to:
the GMP will incorporate certain
historic preservation and land use
protection measures which were
adopted by Island County after the EIS
process was begun; the development of
a marine science center by nonprofits
will be encouraged; proposed Reserve
staff additions over the next 20 years are
reduced to five. Also, since release of
the draft GMP, Bell Farm was removed
from the proposed boundary
modification at the owner’s request.
The proposed plan and three
alternatives were identified and
analyzed in the Final EIS, and
previously in the Draft EIS (the latter
was distributed in August 2005). A
broad spectrum of foreseeable
environmental consequences was
assessed, and appropriate mitigation
measures identified, for each
alternative. Beginning with early
scoping, through the preparation of the
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8779
Draft and Final EIS, a series of public
meetings and open-houses was
conducted locally. Overall
approximately 40 written scoping
comments and 250 written or electronic
Draft EIS review comments were
received (as noted above, the latter
served as the source of several minor
adjustments to the final selected plan).
Key consultations or other contacts that
aided in preparing the EIS involved (but
were not limited to) Island County and
Town of Coupeville officials, Ebey’s
Landing Trust Board, Washington State
Historic Preservation Office, the
Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Marine Fisheries
Service, tribal governments, and
adjoining land managing agencies. Local
community groups and neighbors,
farmers and local business owners, and
interested organizations were contacted
extensively during initial scoping and
throughout the GMP planning process.
