Fort Stanwix National Monument, Oneida County, New York; Notice 
of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and Notice of 
Public Meetings

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(Pub. L. 91-109 section 102(c)), the National Park Service (NPS) is 
preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Fort Stanwix 
National Monument, located in Rome, Oneida County, New York. The 
purpose of the EIS is to assess the impacts of alternative management 
strategies which will be described in the General Management Plan (GMP) 
for Fort Stanwix National Monument. A range of alternatives will be 
formulated for cultural resource protection, visitor use and 
interpretation, facilities development, and operations.
    The NPS will hold a series of three (3) public meetings between 
July 15 and July 31, 1998 which will provide an opportunity for public 
input into the scoping for the GMP/EIS. The date, time, and location of 
these meetings will be announced through local media as they will be 
held at various places in the Rome area. The purpose of these meetings 
is to obtain both written and verbal comments concerning the future of 
Fort Stanwix National Monument. Those persons who wish to comment 
verbally or in writing should contact Joanne Arany, Planning Project 
Manager, Upstate New York Project Office, National Park Service, C/O 
SUNY-ESF, Room 331 Marshall Hall, One Forestry Drive, Syracuse, New 
York 13210, (315) 470-6995.
    The draft GMP/EIS is expected to be completed and available for 
public review in late 1999. After public and interagency review of the 
draft document comments will be considered and a final EIS followed by 
a Record of Decision will be prepared.
    The responsible official is Gary Warshefski, Superintendent, Fort 
Stanwix National Monument, 112 E. Park Street, Rome, New York 13440.

    Dated: June 26, 1998.
