Scoping Notice

Page, Ariz. – Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NRA) is initiating an environmental assessment (EA) for revisions to the Uplake Development Concept Plan (DCP). The original DCP was addressed in the Uplake Development Concept Plan/Environmental Assessment, which was released to the public in July of 2006. A Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI) for this document was approved January 24, 2007. A new environmental assessment is necessary to address a proposed expansion of concessioner operations by adding either fifty five new rental slips or rental buoys at Bullfrog and/or Halls Crossing as dictated by customer demands. The original DCP/EA only allowed for expansion though the addition of rental buoys at these locations.

The 2006 Uplake Development Concept Plan and Environmental Assessment is available for your use. The proposed change would be to the preferred alternative, Rental Slips and Bouys. Currently, as seen on page 6 of Finding of No Significant Impacts, the only expansion of wet moorage availabe to vistors to rent are buoys. The current customer demand if for more slips. The proposed change would allow the Park Service to choose either slips or bouys for expansion.

All comments need to be received by July 7, 2008.
