Oct 2012 Public Scoping Comments Summary Report


On October 9, 2012, the National Park Service (NPS) released the Public Scoping Newsletter for the Personal Watercraft Use EA to the public for review and comment. The newsletter included a description of the project background, purpose and need, project objectives, project issues, and a list of preliminary alternative concepts. The newsletter was available for public review until November 9, 2012. During the scoping period, three public meetings were held in Munising, Marquette, and Grand Marais. NPS staff members were on hand to visit with meeting attendees, to answer questions, and to accept handwritten comments.

The NPS read and analyzed all public correspondence received during the scoping period. A summary of public comments is provided in the Public Scoping Comment Summary Report, which may be viewed and downloaded here. The report contains an introduction, some statistical comment analysis, concern statements, and a selection of representative quotes from individuals and organizations.
