Description:
The National Park Service (NPS) will seek public comments on the Environmental Assessment for the proposed relocation of the Bodie Island U.S. Coast Guard Station Complex at Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The Complex is comprised of the 1879 U.S. Life Saving Station, the 1916 Boat House, and the 1925 U.S. Coast Guard Station. Cape Hatteras National Seashore proposes to relocate these three structures to a nearby site on Bodie Island to protect the structures from encroachment of the Atlantic Ocean and shoreline erosion. The public comment period will open on Saturday, November 1, 2008 and close on Monday, December 1, 2008. An open-house public meeting will be held in the First Flight Centennial Pavilion at the Wright Brothers National Memorial on Thursday, November 13, 2008 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. During the public comment period, all interested persons will be given the opportunity to review and provide comments on the proposed relocation of these historic structures. A 30 day public comment period is part of the process to prepare an Environmental Assessment, pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Written comments may be submitted at the open house public meeting, by mail, and by submission through the park's Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) website at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/caha.
