    This draft environmental assessment, prepared by the National Park 
Service, deals with the environmental consequences of the construction 
of a new dining hall and associated waste water system. The project is 
located within the campus of the Pocono Environmental Education Center 
(PEEC).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PEEC operates under a Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) with the National Park Service. The center has been 
in operation for over 25 years and services over 20,000 people every 
year. The existing dining hall is inadequate and in poor structural 
condition. Dining is an essential function at the center and there are 
no dining establishments within a reasonable distance.
    The EA is available for public comment. Any member of the public 
may file a written comment. Comments should be addressed to the 
Superintendent, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, River 
Road, Bushkill, PA 18324.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Superintendent, Delaware Water Gap 
National Recreation Area, Bushkill, PA 18324, 717-588-2418.

    Dated: July 23, 1998.
William G. Laitner,
Superintendent.
