Following taken from Abstract: 'This draft general management plan amendment and environmental impact statement (DGMPA/EIS) documents the proposed management options for the Schoodic District of Acadia National Park over the next 15-20 years. As Acadia's General Management Plan (National Park Service 1992a) does not address the transfer of the navy base at Schoodic Point to the NPS, there is a need to provide guidance for future park use of navy facilities. This draft plan provides the foundation for decision making regarding, among other things, resource management, cooperative efforts and partnerships, visitor use, and operational efficiences so that future opportunities and challenges can be effectively addressed. In addition, the environmental effects of each of the three alternatives are analyzed.'
