What is in Governors Island’s Draft GMP/EIS?
The Draft GMP/EIS for Governors Island describes the resource conditions and visitor experiences that should exist at the National Monument over the next 15 to 20 years, in addition to an environmental impact statement (EIS), which assesses the potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the plan on the monument’s resources, visitor experience and surrounding area. The GMP presents NPS’s preferred approach to managing Governors Island National Monument, as well as three other viable alternatives considered during the planning process. How can I review and comment on the Draft GMP/EIS? The Draft GMP was available for public review and comment for a period of 60 days beginning January 16, 2008 and ending March 18, 2008. During the review period, the National Park Service received over 6000 comments. The document can still viewed by visiting the National Park Service planning web site at http://parkplanning.nps.gov .
