Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore

The National Park Service (NPS) will prepare a wilderness suitability study to evaluate portions of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore for possible designation as wilderness. The study will be included as part of a General Management Plan (GMP), currently in preparation. A notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement with that GMP was published in the Federal Register of August 5, 1999 (64 FR 42713). That environmental impact statement now will be expanded to include an evaluation of the impacts associated with possible designation of wilderness within the lakeshore. This notice is being furnished as required by National Environmental Policy Act regulations 40 CFR 1501.7. To facilitate sound planning and analysis of environmental impact, the NPS is gathering information necessary for the preparation of the GMP, the wilderness suitability study, and the Associated Environmental Impact Statement and is obtaining suggestions and information from other agencies and the public on the scope of issues to be addressed. Comments and participation in this scoping process are invited.
