Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement and 
Notice of Public Meetings

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
(P. L.91-109 section 102(c)), the National Park Service (NPS) is 
preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Saratoga 
National Historical Park (NHP), located in the towns of Stillwater, and 
Saratoga, Saratoga County, New York. The purpose of the EIS is to 
assess the impacts of alternative management strategies that will be 
described in the general management plan for Saratoga NHP. A range of 
alternatives will be formulated for natural and cultural resource 
protection, visitor use and interpretation, facilities development, and 
operations.
    The NPS will hold two (2) public meetings during the week of March 
27, 2000 which will provide an opportunity for public input into the 
scoping for the GMP/EIS. On Tuesday, March 28, 2000 at 4 p.m., a 
meeting will be held at the Stillwater Community Center, Community 
Room, 19 Palmer Street in Stillwater, New York. On Wednesday, March 29 
at 7:00 PM, a meeting will be held at the Schuylerville School 
Administration Office, 18 Spring Street (Route 29) in Schuylerville, 
New York. The purpose of these meetings is to obtain both written and 
verbal comments concerning the future direction and development of 
Saratoga NHP. Those persons who wish to comment verbally or in writing 
or who require further information should contact Doug Lindsay, 
Superintendent, Saratoga NHP, 648 Route 32, Stillwater, NY 12170, (518) 
664-9821.
    The draft GMP/EIS is expected to be completed and available for 
public review in late 2001. After public and interagency review of the 
draft document comments will be considered, and a final EIS will be 
prepared, followed by a Record of Decision.

    Dated: February 22, 2000.
