significant contributions to our national
heritage of certain historic and cultural
lands, waterways and structures within
the states of Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. The heritage corridor was to
provide a management framework to
assist the states of Massachusetts and
Rhode Island and their units of local
government in the development and
implementation of integrated cultural,
historical and land resource
management programs in order to
retain, enhance and interpret the
significant values of the lands, waters
and structures of the corridor.
The purpose of this Special Resource
Study/EIS is to provide Congress with
information about the national
significance, suitability, and feasibility
of sites and landscape features within
the corridor that are associated with
American industrial history for possible
inclusion in the National Park System.
The study will develop alternative
options for management and
interpretation of the sites and landscape
features under consideration.
The draft report of the study, with the
draft EIS, is expected to be completed
and available for public review by late
2009.
ADDRESSES: Additional information
about the study/EIS may be obtained
online at https://www.nps.gov/blac and

to be added to the project mailing list
should be directed to Ellen Carlson,
Project Manager, at the address below.

Alternatives Evaluated
Alternative 1: No Action (Continuation
of Existing Conditions)
Under Alternative 1, the No Action
Alternative, NPS would continue to
manage the natural, cultural, and
recreational resources of Curecanti
National Recreation Area (NRA), and
associated facilities, pursuant to
Reclamation law, NPS law, the 1965
Memorandum of Agreement between
NPS and Reclamation (1965 MOA), and
other applicable laws and regulations.
Reclamation would continue to manage
the three dams and reservoirs, power
plants, access roads, and other related
facilities, to meet the purposes of the
Colorado River Storage Project Act
(CRSP); would continue to manage the
East Portal area to meet the purposes of
the Uncompahgre Project; and would
continue to have unrestricted access to
their lands and land interests, water and
water interests, and facilities; pursuant
to Reclamation law, the 1965 MOA, and
other applicable laws and regulations.
There would be no significant change in
the NRA boundary. However, a
permanent NPS presence would not be
assured under this alternative.
Alternative 2: Proposed Action
Under Alternative 2, the Proposed
Action, NPS would manage the same
natural, cultural, and recreational
resources and facilities as Alternative 1,
pursuant to Reclamation law, NPS law,
including new legislation establishing
the NRA with 10,040 acres of additional
agreed-upon neighboring agency lands,
a revised MOA with Reclamation, and
other applicable laws and regulations.
Reclamation would manage their same
facilities and areas of responsibility as
Alternative 1, and would have
unrestricted access to their lands and
land interests, water and water interests,
and facilities, pursuant to Reclamation
law, the revised NOA, and other
applicable laws and regulations. NPS
would be authorized to work in
partnership with private landowners
within a Conservation Opportunity Area
of 24,300 acres outside the NRA
boundary, to implement a variety of
tools, including acquiring interests in
land from willing landowners, such as
fee simple acquisition and conservation
easements, which would promote the
