Notice of Settlement Agreement Under the Park System Resources 
Protection Act

    Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement 
agreement, In Re: Bella Vista Restaurant, for the recovery of natural 
resource damages by the National Park

[[Page 12019]]

Service (``NPS''), under the Park system Resources Protection Act, 16 
U.S.C. 19jj.
    The proposed settlement resolves claims against the Bella Vista 
Restaurant and its owners and insurers (collectively, ``Bella Vista''). 
Bella Vista is located on Skyline Boulevard, in Woodside, California, 
adjacent to the Phleger Estate portion of Golden Gate National

several redwood and other trees in NPS land on the Phleger Estate.
    Under the proposed settlement agreement, Bella Vista will pay 
$195,000 for costs and damages. In exchange, the NPS covenants not to 
sue Bella Vista for the Incident.
