Final Environmental Impact Statement
for General Management Plan for
Golden Gate National Recreation Area
and Muir Woods National Monument,

San Mateo, CA
National Park Service.
Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Park Service has
prepared the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (Final EIS) for the
proposed General Management Plan
(GMP) for Golden Gate National
Recreation Area and Muir Woods
National Monument. The Final EIS/
GMP evaluates four alternatives for
managing Golden Gate National
Recreation Area and Muir Woods, and
upon approval the GMP will serve as a
blueprint to guide management of these
units of the National Park System over
the next 20 years.
DATES: The National Park Service will
execute a Record of Decision (ROD) no
sooner than 30 days following Federal
Register publication by the
Environmental Protection Agency of its
notice of filing and availability of the
Final EIS.
ADDRESSES: An electronic version of the
Final EIS/GMP will be available for
public inspection on the project Web
site, and a limited number of CDs and
printed copies will be made available at
park headquarters. Printed or CD copies
may also be requested by contacting
Golden Gate National Recreation Area,
Fort Mason, Building 201, San
Francisco, CA 94123; telephone (415)
561–4930.
SUMMARY:
Background
Established in 1972 to bring ‘‘parks to
the people’’, until now Golden Gate
National Recreation Area (GGNRA) has
been operating under the 1980 GMP.
During the 30 years since the first GMP
was approved, GGNRA has doubled in
size and visitation now approaches 16
million annually. The management staff
has gained a better understanding of the
natural and cultural resources of the
park and the many recreational uses that
occur within the park areas. Muir
Woods was declared a national
monument in 1908 and is currently
managed as part of GGNRA.
Public scoping was initiated in the
spring of 2006. The Notice of Intent to
prepare an EIS was published in the
Federal Register on March 29, 2006.

Five public scoping meetings were held
in the area; approximately 300
participants overall provided relevant
information which was duly considered
in drafting preliminary alternatives. The
preliminary alternatives were initially
reviewed with the public at meetings
held in June, 2008 (over 1,500
substantive comments were collected).
Additionally, numerous coordination
meetings were conducted with local
agencies and partner organizations. An
update on the evolving preferred
alternative was provided to the public
in the summer, 2009. The Draft EIS/
GMP was released on September 9, 2011
with comments accepted through
December 9, 2011. Three public
meetings were hosted. Approximately
540 pieces of correspondence were
received. Some plan content was
modified based on public comments,
but there have been very few substantial
changes to the alternatives under
consideration.
Proposed Plan and Alternatives
The Final EIS/GMP describes and
analyzes four alternatives. The no-action
alternative consists of the existing park
management and serves as a
comparative basis for evaluating the
other alternatives.
Alternative 1, ‘‘Connecting People
with the Parks,’’ would further the
founding idea of ‘‘parks to the people’’
and would engage the community and
other visitors in the enjoyment,
understanding, and stewardship of the
park’s resources and values. Park
management would focus on ways to
attract and welcome people, connect
people with the resources, and promote
understanding, enjoyment, preservation,
and health. Alternative 1 is the ‘‘agencypreferred’’ alternative for managing
most park lands in Marin, San
Francisco, and San Mateo Counties.
Alternative 2, ‘‘Preserving and
Enjoying Coastal Ecosystems,’’ would
place an emphasis on preserving,
enhancing, and promoting the dynamic
and interconnected coastal ecosystems
in which marine resources are valued
and prominently featured. Recreational
and educational opportunities would
allow visitors to learn about and enjoy
the ocean and bay environments, and
gain a better understanding of the
region’s international significance and
history.
Alternative 3, ‘‘Focusing on National
Treasures,’’ would place an emphasis
on the park’s nationally important
natural and cultural resources. The
fundamental resources of each
showcased site would be managed at the
highest level of preservation to protect
the resources in perpetuity and to
