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

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.
