Decision Record and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for 
the Proposal To Reconstruct the Entrance Station at Great Falls Park, 
VA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Availability of the decision record and FONSI for the proposal 
to reconstruct the entrance station at Great Falls Park, Virginia.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Council on Environmental Quality regulations and 
National Park Service policy, the National Park Service (NPS) announces 
the availability of the decision record and FONSI for the 
reconstruction of the entrance station at Great Falls Park, a unit of 
the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP). The decision record and 
FONSI identifies Alternative C as the preferred and environmentally 
preferred alternative in the Environmental Assessment for the Great 
Falls Entrance Station Reconstruction. Under this alternative, the 
current one-story entrance station occupying approximately 100 square 
feet will be replaced by a one-story tall facility of approximately 240 
square feet. The new entrance station will be constructed to meet all 
accessibility standards and include a restroom facility within the 
building for NPS employees who work in the entrance station. Traffic 
flow management patterns and procedures are expected to improve through 
an additional inbound lane located to the west of the new entrance 
station.

DATES: The Environmental Assessment, upon which the FONSI was made, was 
available for public comment from April 11-May 11, 2002. Two comments 
were received, both in favor of the identified preferred alternative.

ADDRESSES: The decision record and FONSI will be available for public 
inspection Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. at the GWMP 
Headquarters, Turkey Run Park, McLean, Virginia.

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

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

Audrey F. Calhoun,
Superintendent, George Washington Memorial Parkway.
