Olympic National Park General Management Plan

The Final General Management Plan was released in March 2008.  The planning process will be complete when a Record of Decision is signed, scheduled for early this summer.

The Draft General Management Plan was open for public review and comment between June 16 and September 30, 2006.

Five hundred individual comment letters were received, along with seven form letters and three petitions. Along with the hundreds of individuals who responded, 48 interest groups, 13 businesses, 16 local, state, or federal agencies, and five tribes wrote comments about the Draft GMP.

Nearly all of the comment letters are now posted online at the NPS Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) site.

Several letters, listed below by tracking number, are posted here due to file size limitations on the PEPC site.
