Plan Process

Special Resource Study Process:

A National Park Service team has been assembled to prepare
the Flushing Remonstrance Special Resource Study. This team
will evaluate the resources within the study area to determine if
they meet the four study criteria: national significance, suitability, feasibility and need for NPS management. If the area is found
to meet all of the criteria, then the study team will develop a
range of management alternatives for the sites. If the resources do
not meet all four criteria, the study will conclude with a negative
finding. Upon conclusion of the study process, the findings
will be submitted to the Director of the National Park Service
and the Secretary of the Interior, who in turn, will transmit the
report and a recommendation to Congress. It will then be up
to Congress to take action on legislation establishing a new unit
of the national park system.
