SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the
General Management Plan was on
review from December 31, 2005, to
February 27, 2006. Responses to public
comment are addressed in the FEIS/
GMP.
The FEIS/GMP analyzes three
alternatives for managing Manassas
National Battlefield Park. The plan is
intended to provide a foundation to
help park managers guide park
programs and set priorities for the
management of the park for the next 15
to 20 years. The FEIS/GMP analyzes the
environmental impacts of the
alternatives considered on natural and
cultural resources, visitor experience
and interpretation, transportation
within the park, and park operations.
Alternative A, the no-action
alternative, is a continuation of present
management approaches regarding
visitor experience and resource
protection. Alternative B, the preferred
alternative, would focus on providing a
comprehensive look at both battles. The
preferred alternative, as it was described
in the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for the General Management
Plan, has been modified in the FEIS/
GMP based on public and agency
comments that were received during the
review period for the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for the
General Management Plan. Alternative
C would focus on providing a
comprehensive look at the defining
moments of the two battles.
