Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial Study of Alternatives/Environmental Assessment December 2005

This FINAL Study and Environmental Assessment was prepared in response to Public Law 107-363, the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial Study Act of 2002.

As directed by Congress, the study contains a range of alternatives for consideration, and identifies the "Most Effective and Efficient Management Alternative", which is study Alternative C. This approach recognizes the strong partnership arrangement with units of local government on Bainbridge Island in the future management, operation and protection of the site. Alternative C would also establish the Memorial as a part of the Minidoka Internment National Monument in Idaho, along with maintaining a formal interpretive and educational relationship with Manzanar National Historic Site in California.
