Warner Valley Comprehensive Site Plan Draft Environmental Impact Statement

Pursuant to §102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 81-190 as amended), the National Park Service (NPS), Department of Interior, has prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Warner Valley Comprehensive Site Plan. This conservation planning effort has four main objectives: (1) Improving visitor experience and enhancing public safety through improvements to infrastructure and relocating infrastructure so it is less visible; (2) Ecological restoration of Warner Valley fen and wetland areas; (3) Removal or repair of Dream Lake Dam and restoration of associated riparian/wetland complex; (4) Protect and enhance the Drakesbad Historic District through removal of non contributing structures and functions. The DEIS evaluates alternative methods for accomplishing ecological restoration and cultural resource protection; appropriate mitigation measures are incorporated, and an "environmentally preferred" course of action is identified. The two "action" alternatives are based upon information gained during extensive public scoping, and adhere to 2006 Management Policies and applicable laws.

Park staff will host three public meeting to provide the public the opportunity to ask questions and submit comments.

The meeting schedule would be 5:30-7:30 pm:
Wed Sept 2 in Chester, CA at the Wildwood Village Great Room
Thurs Sept 3 in Anderson, CA at the Gaia Hotel
Tues Sept 8 in Vacaville, CA at the Courtyard by Marriott
