West Overton Village, Pennsylvania: Schematic Design, Interpretive Prospectus Environmental Assessment (Draft)
National Park Service and Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission. 1993. West Overton Village, Pennsylvania: Schematic Design, Interpretive Prospectus Environmental Assessment (Draft)
The Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (Commission), has prepared and made available for public review the West Overton Village Schematic Design/Interpretive Prospectus/Environmental Assessment (EA). The schematic design and interpretive prospectus describe the proposals considered for development in the Village of West Overton, Pennsylvania. The EA evaluates the project's potential impacts on natural and cultural resources. The proposed plan has been drafted to correspond with the primary focus of the Commission to develop, enhance and interpret the iron and steelmaking, coal and transportation themes within the nine-county region designated as the Commission's project area. As part of that project area, West Overton Village in Westmoreland County is an outstanding example of a community that evolved from an agrarian to an industrial society in 19th Century America. The purpose of this document is to record the selection of the proposed plan and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (43 CFR 1500). This FONSI should be attached to the EA for West Overton Village.
