Final Environmental Impact Statement;
Prisoners Harbor Wetland Restoration,
Santa Cruz Island, Channel Islands
National Park, Santa Barbara County,
CA; Notice of Approval of Record of
Decision
Summary: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended)
and the regulations promulgated by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR 1505.2), the Department of the
Interior, National Park Service (NPS)
has prepared and approved a Record of
Decision for the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for restoration of
approximately 3 acres of coastal
wetland on Santa Cruz Island, Channel
Islands National Park. The requisite noaction ‘‘wait period’’ was initiated April
16, 2010, with the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Federal Register
notification of the filing of the Final EIS.
Decision: As soon as practical the NPS
will begin to implement restoration of
palustrine wetlands and deepwater
habitat at Prisoners Harbor, as well as
remove a berm constricting natural
flows in lower Canada del Puerto Creek,
in order to reconnect the creek to its
floodplain. Other project elements
include removing cattle corrals and
relocating a scale house to its pre-1960s
location, removing eucalyptus and
controlling other non-native species,
and protecting archeological resources.
This alternative was identified and
analyzed as the agency-preferred
Alternative B in the Final EIS (and
includes no substantive modifications to
the course of action which was
described in the Draft EIS). The full
range of foreseeable environmental
consequences were assessed, and
appropriate mitigation measures
(developed in consultation with Tribal
representatives and other agencies) are
VerDate Mar<15>2010

included in the approved plan. Both a
No Action alternative and one
additional ‘‘action’’ alternative
(Alternative C, which would have
restored approximately a third less
wetland habitat) were also identified
and analyzed. As documented in the
Draft and Final EIS, the selected
alternative was deemed to be the
‘‘environmentally preferred’’ course of
action.

National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (Pub. L. 91–190) and the Council

process to identify and assess potential
impacts of alternative resource
protection and other considerations
within the Rim of the Valley Corridor
Special Resource Study area in Los
Angeles and Ventura counties of
California. The purpose of the scoping
process is to elicit early public comment
regarding issues and concerns,
alternatives, and the nature and extent
of potential environmental impacts (and
as appropriate, mitigation measures)
which should be addressed.
Background: As authorized by the
Consolidated Natural Resources Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110–229–May 2008), the
National Park Service (NPS) is
conducting a special resource study of
the area known as the Rim of the Valley
Corridor, generally including the
mountains encircling the San Fernando,
La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi, and
Conejo Valleys in California. The study
area also includes the majority of the
existing Santa Monica Mountains
National Recreation Area. The study
will explore many issues including:
Protection of wildlife habitat and
linkages between open space areas;
completion of the Rim of the Valley
Trail system; preserving recreational
opportunities and facilitating access to
recreation for a variety of users;
protection of rare, threatened or
endangered species and rare or unusual
plant communities and habitats; and
identifying the needs of communities
within and around the study area.
In conducting the Rim of the Valley
Corridor Special Resource Study, the
NPS will evaluate the national
significance of the area’s natural and
cultural resources. The NPS will also
assess the area’s suitability and
feasibility to be a unit of the National
Park System. Factors which the NPS
study team will evaluate include:
Whether the study area includes types
or quality of resources not already
adequately represented in the National
Park System; whether long-term
protection and public use of the area are
feasible; and whether the area can be
adequately protected and administered
at a reasonable cost. The
recommendations of the NPS may vary
for different portions of the study area.
The authorizing statute directs the
NPS to determine the suitability and
feasibility of designating all or a portion
of the corridor as a unit of the Santa
Monica Mountains National Recreation
Area. It also directs the NPS to
determine the methods and means for
the protection and interpretation of this
corridor by the NPS, other Federal,
State, or local government entities or
private or non-profit organizations.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:28 Aug 27, 2010
Jkt 220001
The NPS will also consider:
Alternative strategies for management,
protection and use of significant
resources within the overall study area,
including management by other public
agencies or the private sector; technical
or financial assistance available from
established programs or special
initiatives and partnerships; alternative
designations other than a national park,
or as an expansion unit of Santa Monica
Mountains National Recreation Area;
and cooperative management by NPS
and other entities.
Public Engagement: During the study
process, a range of alternatives will be
developed in consultation with Federal,
State and local governments and
interested members of the public,
groups, and organizations. The NPS will
conduct an environmental review of the
alternatives and potential consequences
of resource protection considerations as
part of the Rim of the Valley Corridor
Special Resource Study. At this time, it
has not been determined whether an
Environmental Assessment or an
Environmental Impact Statement will be
prepared, however, this scoping process
will aid in the preparation of either
document. The public will have several
opportunities to comment and
participate throughout the study
process. Additionally, the public will be
afforded the opportunity to review and
comment on the ensuing environmental
document following its release. For
initial scoping and alternatives
development, the most useful comments
are those that provide the NPS with
assistance in identifying issues and
concerns which should be addressed, or
providing important information
germane to this study. All responses to
this Notice will also be used to establish
a mailing list of interested persons,
organizations, and agencies that desire
to receive further information as the
environmental document is developed.
The public scoping period for the Rim
of the Valley Corridor Special Resource
Study will conclude—and all comments
must be postmarked or transmitted no
later than—October 29, 2010. Interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies
wishing to provide written comments
on issues or concerns should respond
to: National Park Service, Rim of the
Valley Corridor Special Resource Study,
570 West Avenue 26, Suite 175, Los
Angeles, CA 90065. Comments may also
be transmitted through the study’s Web

Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
At this time the following scoping
meetings (public workshops) have been
scheduled: September 14 in Chatsworth,
September 15 in Los Angeles,
September 21 in Santa Clarita,
September 22 in Thousand Oaks,
October 4 in Calabasas, October 5 in

listed Web site, and direct mailing. At
this time the draft environmental review
document is anticipated to be available
for public review and comment in 2013
and the draft and final report to
Congress available in 2014. Comments
on the draft document will be fully
considered and responded to as
appropriate in the final document. The
official responsible for the initial
recommendation will be the Regional
Director, Pacific West Region, National
Park Service. The official responsible for
amending or ratifying the
recommendation and transmitting the
final document to the Secretary of the
Interior will be the Director of the
National Park Service. The final
document will identify the alternative
that, in the professional judgment of the
Director of the National Park Service, is
the most effective and efficient method
for protecting significant resources and
providing for public enjoyment. The
Secretary of the Interior subsequently
will forward the completed study along
with a recommendation regarding the
Secretary’s preferred management
option for the area to Congress for their
consideration. It is anticipated that the
final study report will be available in
2014.
