Consulting Parties Meeting

The National Park Service (NPS), Rock Creek Park, invites you to a Section 106 consulting party meeting for the proposed rehabilitation of the Rock Creek Park Golf Course. The virtual meeting (via Micrsoft Teams) will take place on Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 1:00 pm EST. Login and call-in information can be found below.
 
Description:
This is a meeting to consider the effects of the proposed Rock Creek Park Golf Course rehabilitation on historic properties.

The course is situated on the east side of Rock Creek Park at the intersection of 16th and Military Road NW on approximately 100 acres, consists of an 18-hole parkland-style golf course primarily built between 1921 and 1927 and designed by golf course architect William S. Flynn under the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds. The rerouting and widening of Military Road in the late 1950s required the modification of several holes on the front 9. Between 1963 and 1964, the NPS built a new clubhouse at the golf course to replace the original building, a farmhouse that predated the construction of the course. In 1991, Rock Creek Park Golf Course was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource to the Rock Creek Park Historic District.

The proposed Area of Potential Effect (APE) for this project is the lease/cultural landscape boundary of the Rock Creek Park Golf Course. Identified historic resources in the APE are the Rock Creek Park Golf Course and the Rock Creek Park Historic District, as well as historic resources that contribute to the golf course and/or historic district, to account for potential direct physical effects as well as visual effects from the proposed rehabilitation project. Please find enclosed a map depicting the proposed APE for your review.

In accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the NPS will consider the effects of this undertaking to historic properties. Concurrent to Section 106 consultation, the NPS will review this project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) to evaluate potential environmental impacts that would result from the proposed action and will undertake the appropriate NEPA review.
