Climate Monitoring Program in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve Finding of No Significant Impact
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. 2015. Climate Monitoring Program in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve Finding of No Significant Impact
Alternative A: No Action This alternative represents a continuation of existing conditions and provides a baseline for evaluating the changes and impacts of the action alternatives. Additional climate monitoring stations would not be placed in the park or preserve. This is the environmentally preferable alternative because no new adverse impacts to the environment would occur. Alternative B: Proposed Action This alternative will expand the existing observational network to include ten additional instrument sites within GLBA. Of these ten stations, eight will include complete RAWS instrumentation, and two will consist of a HOBO data-logging thermistor attached to existing NPS radio repeaters. Eight of the sites will be located within designated park wilderness Figure 2-2). Data logging thermistors will be placed at the Beartrack and Idaho Ridge sites. The Lone Island site is selected for the Lower West Arm Area. DECISION The NPS decision is to select Alternative B (NPS Proposed Action) along with mitigating measures.
