Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Environmental 
Assessment for the Glen Echo Park North Arcade Rehabilitation

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Availability of the FONSI and decision record for the proposal 
to replace the existing deteriorated North Arcade structure and damaged 
portions of the adjacent arcade structure with a new North Arcade 
structure in Glen Echo Park.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations and 
National Park Service policy, the and National Park Service (NPS) 
announces the availability of the FONSI and decision record for the 
proposed replacement of the existing deteriorated North Arcade 
structure and damaged portions of the adjacent arcade structure with a 
new North Arcade structure in Glen Echo Park, a unit of the George 
Washington Memorial Parkway. The FONSI and decision record identifies 
Alternative B as the preferred Alternative in the ``Environmental 
Assessment for the Glen Echo Park North Arcade Rehabilitation.'' Under 
this alternative, the existing North Arcade structure located in Glen 
Echo Park, Glen Echo, Maryland, would be demolished and a new structure 
built in the same location. Although the NPS determined that this 
undertaking will have an ``Adverse Effect'' upon the North Arcade 
structure itself, the action overall will have ``No Adverse Effect'' on 
the qualities that qualify the Glen Echo Park Historic District for 
listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In accordance to 
the Memorandum of Agreement with the Maryland State Historic 
Preservation Officer signed July 17, 2001, the NPS will mitigate the 
demolition of historic structures and will design the new structures in 
a manner complementing the original and respecting the surrounding 
Historic District.

DATES: The Environmental Assessment, upon which the FONSI was made, was 
available for public comment from July 2-31, 2001 and no comments were 
received.

ADDRESSES: The FONSI and decision record will be available for public 
inspection Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m. at George 
Washington Memorial Parkway Headquarters, Turkey Run Park, McLean, VA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FONSI and decision record completes the 
Environmental Assessment process.
