SUMMARY: Pursuant to 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 CFR1505.2), the Department of 
the Interior, National Park Service has prepared and approved a Record 
of Decision for the Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) 
for Wetland and Creek Restoration at Big Lagoon, Golden Gate National 
Recreation Area. The requisite no-action ``wait period'' was initiated 
December 21, 2007, with the Environmental Protection Agency's Federal 
Register notification of the filing of the Final EIS.
    Decision: As soon as practical Golden Gate National Recreation 
Area, in cooperation with the County of Marin, will begin to implement 
restoration strategies and park and area improvements identified and 
analyzed as the Preferred Alternative presented in the Final EIS (with 
minor modifications from the course of action as presented in the EIS, 
based upon final consultations with partner agencies). The full range 
of foreseeable environmental consequences was assessed, and appropriate 
mitigation measures identified. Both a No Action alternative and 
multiple ``action'' alternatives were identified and analyzed (three 
restoration alternatives, six public access alternatives, four bridge 
alternatives, and five fill disposal
