Public Scoping for Admin Aviation Plan/EA

The park is developing a plan (Mission Critical Administrative Aviation Plan) and accompanying Environmental Assessment to document any potential impacts of its administrative aviation operations. The objectives of the plan are to (1) ensure the safety of park visitors and staff and the public through monitoring of volcanic hazards and safe and timely response to eruptions, wildfires and backcountry emergencies; (2) ensure the ability to effectively protect and restore natural and cultural resources; (3) minimize any impacts to park resources and values such as soundscapes and visitor experience; (4) ensure compliance with the National Park Service policies and federal regulations; and, (5) maximize efficiency of flights and minimize costs to park operations.

The public is invited to comment on the park's intent to develop a Mission Critical Administrative Aviation Plan/Environmental Assessment (plan/EA) for Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Your observations and suggestions are appreciated.
