The
environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed construction of a
hard-sided cabin to replace and upgrade the Silver Salmon Creek
ranger facilities on the coast of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve
is now available for review. There is also a proposal to build a
public toilet near the ranger facility. Visitation to this area
of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve has increased over 44%
over the last three years. "Addressing this increase in visitation
at Silver Salmon Creek and having the facilities to support this
use is important to us," said Superintendent Joel Hard. "We look
forward to hearing input from the public on which of the alternatives
in the proposed plan that they think will work best." The EA is
available on the web at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov, select Lake
Clark National Park and Preserve and then the Project Title, Silver
Salmon Creek Ranger Cabin The comment period for the EA will extend
30 days, beginning April 29 and ending May 31, 2005. Please send
written comments to: Attn: Colleen Matt, Natural Resources Coordinator
Lake Clark National Park and Preserve 4230 University Drive, Suite
311 Anchorage, AK 99608-4626 Email: colleen_matt@nps.gov The EA
was completed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, and the regulations of the Council on Environmental
Quality (40 CFR 1508.9). Silver Salmon Creek is near Tuxedni Bay
on the coast on Lake Clark National Park and Preserve on Cook Inlet.
