Notice of Availability of Draft Director's Order Concerning National Park Service Policy and Procedures for Floodplain Management.

Короткий зміст

The National Park Service (NPS) has prepared a draft Director's Order that provides policy and procedures in compliance with Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management) for implementing floodplain protection and management actions in units of the National Park System. Executive Order 11988 requires that each agency develop agency-specific guidance for floodplain management. This draft Director's Order will replace all previously issued NPS floodplain management guidance and related instructions. The draft Director's Order maintains the existing NPS policy of preserving floodplain values and minimizing potentially hazardous conditions associated with flooding. When adopted, the policy and procedures will apply to all units and programs of the national park system.
