Watergate Wetlands Restoration Project - - Finding of No Significant Impact


This Finding of No Significant Impact is the National Park Service's decision to select the proposed action/preferred alternative (as described in the Environmental Assessment) for the Watergate Wetlands Restoration Project.

The project will meet an NPS requirement to restore no less than 33 "credit acres" to compensate for the temporary and permanent impacts to wetlands, floodplains, and ecosystem function caused by the construction, operation, and maintenance of a high-voltage transmission line and its 200-foot right-of-way within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The selected action will not only restore wetlands, but also the stream and the natural hydrology of the area and provide an overall ecological uplift within the Van Campens Watershed.

Implementation of the project will occur from late 2020 through 2022.
