Manager, Valley Forge National

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Development of the Environmental
Impact Statement for the White-tailed
Deer Management Plan for Valley Forge
National Historical Park was initiated in
2006, pursuant to the 2006 House
Appropriations Report (HR 109–465):
‘‘The public has been patient as the NPS
has worked through its process in regard
to management of the over-abundance of
white-tailed deer at the park. Within
existing funds, NPS is directed to begin
the environmental impact statement for
deer management. The Committee
expects that the plan will be funded
fully so that it can be completed in
fiscal year 2008. The Committee further
expects that implementation of the
selected action will begin immediately
upon signing of the Record of Decision.’’
The DEIS evaluates four alternatives
for managing white-tailed deer in the
park. The document describes and
analyzes the environmental impacts of
three action alternatives and the noaction alternative.
Alternatives: Alternative A (no action)
would continue the existing deer
management activities of monitoring
deer population size and vegetation,
small scale fencing of selected
vegetation, removal of deer killed on
roadways, public education,
coordination with the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, and continuation of
limited CWD surveillance; no new deer
management actions would be
implemented.
Alternative B would combine several
non-lethal actions, including large-scale
rotational fencing of 10% to 15% of the
park’s forested area and reproductive
control of does to gradually reduce deer

population in the park. Chronic wasting
disease surveillance would include live
testing (via tonsillar biopsy) and
removal of CWD-positive individuals.
Under Alternative C, qualified federal
employees or contractors would directly
reduce the deer population in the park
through sharpshooting and through
capture and euthanasia, where
appropriate. CWD response would
include rapid reduction of the deer
population to the target deer density
and the potential for a one-time
reduction action to not less than 10 deer
per square mile through sharpshooting
and through capture and euthanasia.
These actions would be taken for the
purposes of assessing disease presence,
prevalence, and distribution. These
actions may also minimize the
likelihood of CWD becoming
established, minimize the likelihood of
amplification and spread if the disease
is introduced, and promote elimination
of CWD, if possible.
Alternative D (NPS Preferred
Alternative) would combine actions of
Alternative C to directly reduce the deer
population with reproductive control of
does as under Alternative B to maintain
population levels. CWD response
actions would be the same as described
for Alternative C.

revocation of the antidumping duty
order on crawfish tail meat from China
would be likely to lead to continuation
