Notice of Approval of Record of Decision for Stehekin River 
Corridor Implementation Plan, Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, 
North Cascades National Park Service Complex, Washington

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Record of Decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Sec.  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 part 
1505.2), the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), 
in collaboration with the Federal Highway Administration, prepared the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) for the Stehekin River 
Corridor Implementation Plan (CIP). The requisite no-action ``wait 
period'' was initiated on October 12, 2012, with the Environmental 
Protection Agency's Federal Register notice of the filing of the Final 
EIS.
    Decision: The NPS has selected Alternative 5, identified as 
``preferred'' in the Final EIS, and will implement it as the approved 
Stehekin River CIP. The CIP will allow water from large floods to 
occupy more of the floodplain (within the channel migration zone), 
thereby reducing flooding severity in any one location. Also included 
in the approved CIP is the relocation of approximately two miles of the 
Stehekin Valley Road, removal of park facilities out of the floodplain, 
improvements in recreational trail and camping opportunities, and 
revision of the park's Land Protection Plan criteria used to determine 
willing owner land exchange and acquisition priorities (based on 
threats to the most vulnerable areas).
    Four other alternatives were evaluated, the full range of 
foreseeable environmental consequences was assessed, and appropriate 
mitigation measures were identified. The selected alternative was 
deemed to be the ``environmentally preferred'' course of action.
    Interested parties desiring to review the Record of Decision may 
obtain a copy by contacting the Superintendent, North Cascades National 
Park Service Complex, 810 State Route 20, Sedro-Woolley, WA 94123 or 
via telephone request at (360) 854-7200.

    Dated: March 14, 2013.
