Internal Scoping Report

In accordance with the directive to use NEPA as a decision-making tool, the NPS conducted an internal scoping meeting on November 15 and 16, 2006, to discuss the CWD detection and initial response to positive CWD detections in or near Antietam and Monocacy National Battlefields. The goal of the meeting was to determine the purpose, need, objectives, and preliminary alternatives for CWD detection and initial response in white-tailed deer within the park units, as well as to identify issues and impact topics, and to develop a cumulative impact scenario for the Environmental Assessment (EA) to be prepared. The product of the internal scoping meeting is presented in the Internal Scoping Report, which is now available for public review and comment. This information was also presented at public scoping meetings held on February 12, 2007 at Antietam and another scheduled for February 20, 2007 at Monocacy. A newsletter summarizing this material was also produced, and is available for public review on this site.
