Wahweap Roads Rehabilitation EA Scoping Notice

The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking public input regarding the proposed rehabilitation of Lakeshore Drive in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Glen Canyon). The project area is located just north of the Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona. Other than a small portion in Kane County, Utah, the project is located in Coconino County, Arizona.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to provide a decision-making framework that 1) analyzes a reasonable range of alternatives to meet project objectives, 2) evaluates potential issues and impacts to park resources and values, and 3) identifies mitigation measures to lessen the degree or extent of adverse impacts. The project will also comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and all other applicable laws and regulations.

Public comments will be used to help inform the development of an environmental assessment (EA) in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The EA will consider the potential effects to area soils, hydrology, wildlife, vegetation, visitor use, cultural resources, and park operations.

All comments, questions, and suggestions related to the project are welcome. During the public scoping period the following types of comments are particularly helpful:
1) Information about the project area that the NPS should consider during the analysis,
2) Information about how you use the project area and how the project might affect that use,
3) Other projects or activities that might affect or be affected by the project, and
4) Other ideas or alternative ways of meeting the project objectives.
