Park Service.
The NPS
prepared a Draft GMP/EIS to evaluate
alternatives to guide the development
and future management of Hampton
NHS. Alternative 1 would continue
current management direction and
visitor experience. Alternative 2 would
remove post-1948 development and
consolidate administrative functions in
an effort to recreate the feeling of the
Hampton Estate near the end of its
period of greatest significance (mid to
late 19th century). Alternative 3, the
NPS preferred alternative, would
expand the visitor experience to include
the entire story of the park from the 19th
century through the changes of activity
and ownership in the 20th century;
broaden the stories to include all those
who lived and worked at the mansion,
the plantations and related Ridgely
family enterprises; and provide visitor
services and accommodate park
operations within the historic and
modern buildings existing on the
property now. Alternative 3 was also
identified as the Environmentally
Preferred Alternative. The Draft GMP/
EIS was available for public and agency
review from October 11, 2010, through
December 24, 2010. Printed copies of
the Draft GMP/EIS were available at the
locations listed above and online at the
NPS PEPC Web site (https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/hamp). Three
public open houses were held in
November, 2010.
The Final GMP/EIS responds to, and
incorporates, agency and public
comments received on the Draft GMP/
EIS. Agency and public comments with
NPS responses are provided on page 135
of the Final GMP/EIS. After careful
review of all comments received,
Alternative 3 remains the NPS preferred
alternative for the new GMP for
Hampton NHS. The public release of the
Final GMP/EIS will be followed by a noaction period that will end no sooner
than 30 days from the date of
publication by the Environmental
Protection Agency of a Notice of
Availability of the Final GMP/EIS in the
Federal Register. After the 30-day no
action period, a Record of Decision will
be prepared to document the selected
alternative and set forth any stipulations
for implementation of the GMP.

wildlife management.
