General Management Plan, Environmental Impact Statement, Tonto 
National Monument, Arizona

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement 
for the General Management Plan, Tonto National Monument.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, 
the National Park Service is preparing an environmental impact 
statement for the General Management Plan for Tonto National Monument. 
This statement will be approved by the Regional Director, Intermountain 
Region.
    The plan is needed to guide the protection and preservation of the 
natural and cultural environments considering a variety of interpretive 
and recreational visitor experiences that enhance the enjoyment and 
understanding of the park resources.
    The effort will result in a comprehensive general management plan 
that encompasses preservation of natural and cultural resources, 
visitor use and interpretation, roads, and facilities. In cooperation 
with local and national interests, attention will also be given to 
resources outside the boundaries that affect the integrity of park 
resources. Alternatives to be considered include a no-action and 
alternatives addressing the following:
    To clearly describe specific resource conditions and visitor 
experiences in various management units throughout the park and To 
identify the kinds of management, use, and development that will be 
appropriate to achieving and maintaining those conditions.
    A scoping brochure has been prepared outlining the issues 
identified to date. After, September 30, 1998, copies of that 
information can be obtained at the general management plan website:
