Wetland Statement of Finding

The purpose of the project is to provide a safer harbor for guests to Devils Island to utilize as they enjoy the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The National Park Service (NPS) proposes the rehabilitation of two existing dock structures, rebuilding the historic Boat House that is currently in storage, rebuilding and improving the rock breakwater, and rebuilding the rock retaining wall to re-create a safe harbor for boaters visiting Devils Island. This project would provide a safe and enjoyable harbor for visitors and NPS employees visiting and maintaining Devils Island.

Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands) requires the National Park Service and other federal agencies to evaluate the likely impacts of actions in wetlands. NPS Director's Order #77-1: Wetland Protection and Procedural Manual #77-1 provides NPS procedures for complying with Executive Order 11990. This statement of findings documents compliance with the NPS wetland protection procedures.
