Plan Process

The finding of no significant impact (FONSI), floodplain statement of findings (SOF), and the environmental assessment (EA) constitutes the record of the environmental impact analysis and decision-making process for the Graves Creek and South Shore road rehabilitation project. The National Park Service (NPS) will implement a combination of alternatives B and C, based on the concerns and feedback generated through the public review period. The selected alternative will restore and provide sustainable access to the Graves Creek and South Shore roads with the addition of selected improvements that incorporate protective measures for habitat restoration.
