Dear Park Neighbors, Visitors
and Other Interested Parties:

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting comments through March 28, 2008 on the final draft of a Long-term Groundhog Management Plan at Stones River National Battlefield and Environmental Assessment (EA). The development of this planning document has been guided by the park's enabling legislation and the 1999 General Management Plan (GMP)/Development Concept Plan (DCP).

Review by the Southeast Regional Office of the National Park Service was completed on February 2, 2008. Consultation with the Cookville Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Tennessee Historical Commission was completed by February 22, 2008. The EA is being used to accomplish compliance for both the National Environmental Policy Act (as described in 36 CFR 800.8 (a-c)) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

If you wish to review the Long-term Groundhog Management Plan/EA and submit your comments on-line, please click on Documents & Links in the menu on the left side of the screen, and follow the directions. If you would prefer to submit your comments by mail, please send them to: Superintendent, Stones River National Battlefield, 3501 Old Nashville Highway, Murfreesboro, TN 37129. As previously stated, the comment period ends on March 28, 2008.

Sincerely,
