Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 26, 2012 / Notices
Memorial Parkway, Turkey Run Park,
McLean, Virginia 22101, at (703) 289–
2500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS
is preparing an EIS to identify a
preferred site for construction of an
environmentally sustainable facility for
non-motorized boats on the Virginia
shoreline of the Potomac River.
Scoping for the EIS will consider four
possible site locations within George
Washington Memorial Parkway. Two
proposed sites are downstream of the
Key Bridge, one proposed site is near
Gravelly Point and the 14th Street
Bridge, and one proposed site is on
Daingerfield Island. The boathouse
facility and its amenities would enhance
public waterfront access in the vicinity
of Arlington County for non-motorized
recreational activities.
This project was initiated when, at the
direction of Congress, the NPS prepared
a site analysis (feasibility study) for a
boathouse facility in 2002. The purpose
of the study was to eliminate any sites
that were not feasible due to engineering
or financial constraints and to use that
information for the preparation of an
EIS. On May 21, 2004, an NOI to
prepare that EIS was published in the
Federal Register. In 2004, the NPS held
a public scoping meeting and
preliminary surveys which were
completed.
With the participation of Arlington
County as a cooperating agency, internal
scoping was reinitiated in 2011, and the
NPS has determined that an EIS remains
the most appropriate level of
environmental documentation for the
proposed project. NPS is issuing this
NOI so that the public has a clear
understanding of the agency’s intention
to complete preparation of this EIS.
Public Involvement: Public
involvement will be a key component in
preparation of the EIS. Interested
individuals, organizations, and agencies
are encouraged to provide written
comments or suggestions to assist the
NPS in determining the scope of issues
to be addressed in the EIS, to identify
significant issues related to the project,
and to identify other reasonable
alternatives.
The NPS will conduct a public
scoping meeting at a public site in
Arlington County. When the public
scoping meeting has been scheduled, its
location, date and time will be
announced through local media and
published on the NPS’s PEPC Web site:
https://www.parkplanning.nps.gov/
gwmp no later than 15 days in advance
of the date of the meeting.
If you wish to submit issues or
provide input on this initial phase of
developing the EIS, you may submit
comments by [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS
FROM THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE]
through the PEPC Web site at https://
www.parkplanning.nps.gov/gwmp, by
hand-delivery or mail to:
Superintendent, George Washington
Memorial Parkway, Turkey Run Park,
McLean, Virginia 22101, or by providing
comments to NPS staff at the scoping
meeting.
We will make all submissions from
organizations or business, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, available
for public inspection in their entirety.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, be advised that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask in your comments to
withhold from public review your
personal identifying information, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
