Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Environmental 
Assessment on the Mount Vernon Trail Bridge #12 Safety Realignment

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Availability of the FONSI and decision record for the proposed 
safety improvements to Bridge #12 located approximately \1/4\ mile 
north of the southbound Fort Hunt exit of the George Washington 
Memorial Parkway along the Mount Vernon Trail.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations and 
National Park Service policy, the National Park Service announces the 
availability of the FONSI and decision record for the proposed safety 
improvements on and around Mount Vernon Trail Bridge #12 within the 
George Washington Memorial Parkway. The FONSI and decision record 
identifies Alternative 2 as the preferred Alternative in the 
``Environmental Assessment for the Mount Vernon Trail Bridge #12 Safety 
Realignment.'' Under this alternative, trail realignment and bridge 
construction will correct the steep and sharp-curved approaches to the 
bridge, provide a more sustainable bridge structure, provide for safety 
on the bridge, and continue to protect natural and cultural resources 
in and around the bridge. All environmental measures will be taken to 
minimize impacts to resources during old bridge demolition and new 
bridge construction.

DATES: The Environmental Assessment, upon which the FONSI determination 
was made, was available for public comment from May 31-June 29, 2001 
and one written comment was received in support of the project.

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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Ann Brazinski (703) 289-2541.

Acting Superintendent, George Washington Memorial Parkway.
