Notice of Approval of Record of
Decision for Plan To Protect and
Restore Native Ecosystems by
Managing Non-Native Ungulates,
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,
Hawaii
National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 and the regulations promulgated
by the Council on Environmental
Quality (40 CFR Part 1505), the
Department of the Interior, National
Park Service, has prepared the Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) for the subject non-native ungulates
management plan. The ROD includes a
statement of the decision made, a
summary of other alternatives
considered, discussion of the
environmental consequences and
measures to minimize harm, the basis
for the decision, and a summary of
public and agency involvement in the
environmental decision-making process.
The requisite no-action ‘‘wait period’’
was initiated on January 25, 2013, with
the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Federal Register notification of the
filing and public release of the Final
EIS.
Decision: Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park has selected and will implement
Alternative D (identified as the agency
preferred alternative in the Final EIS).
Alternative D provides for a
comprehensive, park-wide management
plan that will ensure maximum
flexibility to manage non-native
ungulates. The selected actions include
a systematic progression of management
phases, monitoring, and the considered
use of management tools, with a defined
population objective of zero non-native
ungulates. In addition to fencing,
management tools will rely primarily on
lethal methods, but non-lethal methods
such as relocation may be considered.
Qualified volunteers may be used to
assist with certain non-native ungulate
management activities. In addition to
Alternative D, a no-action alternative
and three other alternatives were
identified and analyzed in the Final EIS
(available on-line at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/havo). The full
range of foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed, and
