DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
 
Notice of Availability of the Stream Management Plan, Abbreviated Final 
Environmental Impact Statement, Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, IA

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, the National Park Service (NPS) announces 
the availability of the stream management plan, abbreviated final 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for Herbert Hoover National 
Historic Site, Iowa.

DATES: The final EIS will be made available for a 30-day period, 
following the publishing of the notice of availability in the Federal 
Register by the Environmental Protection Agency.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies should be sent to Superintendent, Herbert 
Hoover National Historic Site, P.O. Box 607, West Branch, Iowa 52358.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Herbert Hoover National Historic Site 
Superintendent at (319) 643-2541.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS prepared a draft stream management 
plan/draft EIS for Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, Iowa, 
pursuant to section 102(c) of the NEPA of 1969. The draft was made 
available for public review for 60 days (September-November 2005). The 
NPS distributed full hard copy versions of the draft, and made the 
draft EIS available on the Web and at area libraries. Two public 
presentation sessions, attended by 35 participants, were held for the 
public to discuss and comment on the draft. No written comments were 
received from the public. The consensus of the public during the 
presentations was that the NPS would pursue the correct path for the 
park by following alternative E, the preferred alternative. Comments 
from public agencies did not require NPS to add other alternatives, 
significantly alter existing alternatives, or make changes to the 
impact analysis of the effects of any alternative. Thus, an abbreviated 
format is used for the responses to comments in the final EIS, in 
compliance with the implementing regulations (40 CFR 1503.4[c]) for the 
NEPA, and the NPS Director's Order 12: Conservation planning, 
environmental impact analysis, and decision-making.

    Dated: December 6, 2005.
Ernest Quintana,
Regional Director, Midwest Region.
