Final Environmental Impact Statement/General Management Plan, 
Whiskeytown Unit, Shasta -Trinity- Whiskeytown National Recreation 
Area, Shasta County, California; Notice of Approval of Record of 
Decision

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act 
of 1969 (Pub. L.91-190, as amended) and the regulations promulgated by 
the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1505.2), the Department of 
the Interior, National Park Service has prepared and approved a Record 
of Decision for the Final Environmental Impact Statement/General 
Management Plan for Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. The no-action 
period was initiated September 17, 1999, with the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency's Federal Register notification of the filing of the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

Decision

     As soon as practical the National Park Service will begin to 
implement the General Management Plan described as the Proposed Action 
(Alternative C) contained in the FEIS. This alternative was deemed to 
be the environmentally preferred alternative. This course of action and 
three alternatives were identified and analyzed in the Final and Draft 
Environmental Impact Statements (the latter was distributed on 
September 8, 1998). The full range of foreseeable environmental 
consequences were assessed, and appropriate mitigation measures 
identified.

    Interested parties desiring to review the Record of Decision may

Recreation Area, P.O. Box 188, Whiskeytown, California 96095; or via
