Coral Reef Restoration Plan, Final
Programmatic Environmental Impact
Statement, Biscayne National Park, FL
National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Final Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement for the Coral Reef
Restoration Plan, Biscayne National
Park.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, 42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National
Park Service (NPS) announces the
availability of a Final Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Coral Reef Restoration Plan (Plan/FEIS)
for Biscayne National Park, Florida. The
Plan/FEIS provides a systematic
approach to addressing injuries to coral
reefs caused by vessel groundings
within Biscayne National Park.
DATES: The NPS will execute a Record
of Decision no sooner than 30 days from
the date of publication of the Notice of
Availability of the FEIS in the Federal
Register by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
ADDRESSES: The Plan/FEIS is available
in electronic format online at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/bisc. A limited
number of compact discs and hard
copies of the Plan/FEIS are available at
Biscayne National Park Headquarters,
9700 SW. 328th Street, Homestead,
Florida 33033. You may also request a
CD or hard copy by contacting Mark
Lewis, Superintendent of Biscayne
National Park, 9700 SW. 328th Street,
Homestead, Florida 33033, 305–230–
1144.
SUMMARY:
Many
vessel groundings occur annually in
Biscayne National Park, causing injuries
to submerged resources. The goal of
coral reef restoration actions in Biscayne
National Park is to create a stable, selfsustaining reef environment of similar
topography and surface complexity to
that which existed prior to injury, such
that natural recovery processes,
enhanced through mitigation, if needed,
will lead to a fully functioning coral reef
community with near natural
complexity, structure, and make-up of
organisms. The Plan/FEIS provides a
systematic approach to addressing
injuries to coral reefs caused by vessel
groundings within Biscayne National
Park. It analyzes two alternatives, the
No Action alternative (Alternative 1)

and Restoration Using a Programmatic
Approach (Alternative 2).
Alternative 1 would not change the
existing approach to coral reef
restoration planning and
implementation, including NEPA
compliance. Currently, Biscayne
National Park resource managers
evaluate the impacts of coral reef
restoration actions and specific
restoration methods when planning and
implementing restoration at each
grounding incident. In contrast, to
address each coral injury under
Alternative 2, the most appropriate
restoration actions and specific
restoration methods would be selected
from a ‘‘toolbox’’ of methods that already
have had their impacts evaluated
programmatically. Under Alternative 2,
10 reasonable and common coral reef
restoration actions were identified and
evaluated for inclusion in the toolbox.
Alternative 2 (Restoration Using a
Programmatic Approach) was identified
as the NPS’s preferred alternative. The
time required to evaluate environmental
impacts of restoration actions after sitespecific injuries would be minimized
substantially under Alternative 2,
resulting in fewer adverse effects and/or
more beneficial effects to park
resources.
