Notice of Intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the
General Management Plan, Frederick
Law Olmsted National Historic Site
(NHS).
rmajette on PRODPC74 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service is preparing an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the General
Management Plan (GMP) for the
Frederick Law Olmsted National
Historic Site, Massachusetts. The
existing GMP dates from 1983, when the
park started operations, and needs major
updates. An updated GMP will provide
fundamental management guidance to
enable the park to strategically plan for
long-term resource management, visitor
use, and partnerships. In cooperation
with the Town of Brookline, MA,
attention will also be given to resources
outside the boundaries that affect the
integrity of the Frederick Law Olmsted
National Historic Site. The plan will
identify management alternatives for the
site. Major issues include: (1)
Developing strategies for the ongoing
preservation of the structures, grounds,
and collections; (2) providing functional
dedicated space for interpretive and
educational programs and media; (3)
resolving parking and public access
issues; (4) developing strategies for
reaching diverse audiences; (5)
providing archives reference facilities
and services that meet present and
future demands; (6) providing readily
accessible archives storage facilities that
meet the needs of the collection; (7)
addressing facility needs for park
headquarters and the shared park
maintenance building; (8) developing
strategies for conserving the adjacent
historic setting and the larger historic
context; (9) strengthening partnerships
with related national and local
nonprofit organizations and
communities.
The Draft EIS/General Management
Plan is expected to be available for
public review in 2010. After public and
interagency review of the draft
document, comments will be considered
and a final GMP/EIS report will be
prepared that contains a preferred
alternative for management of the
Frederick Law Olmsted NHS, followed
by a Record of Decision.
DATES: The NPS will hold a public
scoping meeting, which will provide
opportunities to ask questions and raise
issues concerning the General
Management Plan for the Frederick Law
Olmsted National Historic Site.
Information on the time and place of the
public scoping meeting will be
publicized through the local news
