SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS), in accordance with Section 
9.52(b) of Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations has received 
from M&M Royalty, Ltd., a Plan of Operations for the purpose of 
drilling and producing up to four oil/gas wells on the private property 
of Astorhurst and Prinios in Walton Hills, Ohio. The proposed site is 
located within the boundaries of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. A Plan 
of Operations describes the proposed operation, including the 
equipment, methods and materials to be used in the operation, 
mitigation measures to protect park resources and values and 
environmental conditions in the vicinity of the site, and environmental 
impacts of the proposed operations. When approved, the Plan of 
Operations serves as the operator's permit to conduct operations in a 
park. Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969, the NPS has prepared an Environmental Assessment which evaluates 
potential impacts associated with the proposed drilling operation 
located within the park.
