Dear Interested Party:
I am pleased to inform you that the Crater Rim Drive Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment (EA) is available for public review and comment. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park proposes to rehabilitate 2.8 miles of Crater Rim Drive, beginning just after the junction with State Highway 11 (just before the park entrance station), and continuing to the gate just west of the Jaggar Museum parking area.
The EA describes one action alternative for rehabilitating the road and also describes the No Action Alternative, which would maintain the current road maintenance activities. It presents an analysis of the potential environmental impacts of each alternative and includes mitigation measures to avoid or minimize those impacts.
The EA has been distributed to Hawaii Island public libraries and the Hawaii State Library. The document is available electronically from the park's website (http://www.nps.gov/havo) and on the National Park Service's Planning, Environment, and Public Comment site (PEPC) at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/havo. When in PEPC and on the Reconstruct and Rehabilitate Crater Rim Drive EA page, click on the "Open for Public Comment" link in the left navigation.
The EA is available for a 30-day public review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and National Park Service guidelines. The comment deadline for the EA is June 30, 2010; comments must be transmitted or postmarked no later than this date.
Comments are being accepted online through PEPC (http://parkplanning.nps.gov/havo) or through the mail at the following address:
