Notice of Availability for the

Management Plan and Final
Environmental Impact Statement, Wind
AGENCY:
ACTION:
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
Cave National Park, Custer County,
South Dakota.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)), the
National Park Service (NPS) announces
the availability of the Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Final Elk
Management Plan and Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Plan),
Wind Cave National Park, Custer
County, South Dakota. On December 3,
the Midwest Regional Director approved
the ROD for the project. As soon as
practicable, the NPS will begin to
implement the Preferred Alternative
contained in the final EIS.
The NPS will implement the preferred
alternative, Alternative B, as described
in the final Plan issued on October 30,
2009. The emphasis of this alternative is
to make maximum use of hunting on
public and private lands outside the
park to reduce and maintain the
population of elk utilizing the park.
This will be accomplished cooperatively
with the South Dakota Department of
Game Fish and Parks through managed
annual public hunting on lands
surrounding Wind Cave National Park.
Initial reduction activities are expected
to occur over a period of 1 to 5 years,
with annual maintenance activities
conducted thereafter. Because this may
not be sufficient to reduce the elk
population park-wide alone, a
monitoring and adaptive management
approach is inherent in the alternative.
If hunting outside the park does not
fully accomplish initial reduction goals
within a prescribed timeframe,
reduction methods described in other
alternatives such as roundup and live
shipping to a slaughterhouse or
sharpshooting may be used to reach the
target population range. The same
would be true for maintenance.
The ROD includes a statement of the
decision made, synopses of other
alternatives considered, the basis for the
decision, a description of the
environmentally preferable alternative,
a finding on impairment of park
resources and values, a listing of
measures to minimize environmental
harm, and an overview of public
involvement in the decisionmaking
process.
