IPMP/EA - FONSI


The National Park Service (NPS) announces the availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the National Capital Region's (NCR) Invasive Plant Management Plan and Environmental Assessment (IPMP/EA). Alternative 1, the preferred alternative, was selected. The implementation of Alternative 1 will increase the options available to staff at the 15 parks in the NCR to manage non-native invasive plant species. Specifically, the IPMP will:
• Establish priorities for the treatment of non-native invasive plants.
• Standardize and streamline the decision-making process regarding the treatment of non-native invasive plants across all 15 NCR parks.

The IPMP/EA prioritizes the treatment of non-native invasive plants species at each park by both species and location. Each park within the NCR will develop an annual non-native invasive plant treatment strategy based on the IPMP that reflects current needs and funding resources. Invasive plant species treatment methods that will be available to park managers under the IPMP include chemical, biological, manual, mechanical, physical, and cultural methods.

The 15 parks included in the IPMP/EA are: Antietam National Battlefield, Catoctin Mountain Park, Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park, George Washington Memorial Parkway, Greenbelt Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Manassas National Battlefield Park, Monocacy National Battlefield, National Capital Parks - East, National Mall and Memorial Parks, Piscataway Park, Prince William Forest Park, Rock Creek Park, White House / President's Park, and Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts.
