National Park Service


Final Environmental Impact Statement and General Management Plan 
for Crater Lake National Park, Douglas, Jackson & Klamath Counties, 
Oregon; Notice of Approval of Record of Decision

    Summary: Pursuant to section 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 and General Management Plan, Crater Lake National 
Park. The new GMP replaces the 1977 Master Plan, and will serve as a 
blueprint for guiding operations, resource protection, and visitor 
services in the park for the next 10-15 years. The requisite no-action 
``wait period'' was initiated June 10, 2005, with the 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 actions and programs identified and analyzed as the 
Preferred Alternative (Alternative 2) contained in the FEIS. This 
alternative was deemed to be the ``environmentally preferred'' 
alternative. This course of action and three alternatives (including 
no-action) were identified and analyzed in the Final and Draft 
Environmental Impact Statements (the opportunity for public review of 
the latter was announced in the Federal Register on August 3, 2004). 
The full range of foreseeable environmental consequences was assessed, 
and appropriate mitigation measures have been identified.
    Copies: Interested parties desiring to review the Record of 
Decision may obtain a copy by contacting the Superintendent, Crater 
Lake National Park, P.O. Box 7, Crater Lake, Oregon 97604; or via 
telephone request at (541) 594-2211.

    Dated: August 31, 2005.

Regional Director, Pacific West Region.
