Act of 1969, the National Park Service
announces the availability of the draft
General Management Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/
EIS) for Pipestone National Monument.
DATES: The GMP/EIS will remain
available for public review for 60 days
following the publishing of the notice of
availability in the Federal Register by
the Environmental Protection Agency.
Public meetings will be held in the
cities of Pierre and Yankton, South
Dakota, and Marshall and Pipestone,
Minnesota. Meeting places and times
will be announced through the local
media and on the park Web site at:
https://www.nps.gov.gov/pipe.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the GMP/EIS are
available by request by writing to the
Superintendent at Pipestone National
Monument, 36 Reservation Avenue,
Pipestone, MN 56164. The document is
also available to be reviewed in person
at the park. Finally, the document can
be found at the following Web site:
https://parkplanning.nps.gov/. This Web
site allows the public to review and
comment directly on this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Superintendent, Pipestone National
Monument, 36 Reservation Avenue,
Pipestone, MN 56164.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pipestone
National Monument offers an
opportunity to explore American Indian
culture and the natural resources of the
tallgrass prairie. Established by
Congress in 1937 to protect the historic
pipestone quarries, the site is
considered sacred by many American
Indians. Spanning centuries of use,
American Indians continue to quarry

pipestone, which they carve into sacred
pipes.
The GMP/EIS analyzes the impacts of
a no-action and three action
alternatives. The no-action alternative
describes the existing conditions and
trends of park management and serves
as a basis for comparison in evaluating
the other alternatives. The focus of
alternative one is the removal of
development from the heart of the
national monument. Alternative two
focuses on updating the existing
facilities and increasing the interpretive
emphasis on quarrying. Alternative
three was developed to meld the most
advantageous features of the other two
action alternatives by removing some
park operations from the national
monument and updating existing
facilities.
Persons wishing to comment may do
so by any one of several methods. They
may attend the public hearing or open
houses noted above. They may mail
comments directly to Pipestone
National Monument. They also may
