Finding of No Significant Impact – Environmental Assessment for Former Reserved Properties Management Plan


The National Park Service is pleased to announce a final decision in the Former Reserved Properties Management Plan for Cumberland Island National Seashore. The decision document is a Finding of No Significant Impact or FONSI for the Environmental Assessment that was completed along with the plan.

The plan provides guidance for the park with respect to the future disposition and/or function of seven tracts and their associated structures that were acquired when Retained Rights agreements expired, primarily in 2010 and 2011. The plan calls for the removal of all of the structures on three tracts so those sites can revert to natural conditions, including one of which is located in designated wilderness. Three other properties will be converted to housing for park employees, volunteers and/or cooperators. And finally, the historic structure known as The Grange, will be dedicated primarily to interpretation and visitor education. The Grange is located in the Dungeness Historic District, a primary visitor destination on the island.
