Dear Interested Party:
We have been working on management options for off-road vehicle (ORV) access to try to avoid last summer's total daytime access closure of the ORV Corridor because of piping plover nesting patterns. An Environmental Assessment (EA) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has been prepared. The next step in the process is a meeting at Province Lands Visitor Center in Provincetown, off Race Point Road, on Saturday March 3, 2007 at 10:00 A.M. to solicit public comment on the newly released EA of modifications to the ORV program. The general public and all interested parties are invited to attend the meeting.
The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) to evaluate the impacts of the project on the human environment, and provide an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project. Copies for review are available at local libraries, the Salt Pond Visitor Center, and can be accessed online at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov or through the parks website at www.nps.gov/caco. Comments can be sent to the Superintendent, Cape Cod National Seashore, and 99 Marconi Site Road, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, 02667. Telephone: (508) 349-3785, Fax: (508) 349-9052, or directly on the park planning website noted above. A thirty day public comment period begins today, February 15, 2007, and closes on March 17, 2007.
Thank you for your interest in ORV management,
Sincerely,
George E. Price, Jr.
Superintendent
