Draft environmental statement : Proposed master plan : Buffalo National River, Arkansas
National Park Service, Southwest Regional office and National Park Service, Denver Service Center. 1974. Draft environmental statement : Proposed master plan : Buffalo National River, Arkansas. NPS 747. National Park Service, Denver Service Center. Denver, CO
The proposed conceptual master plan will provide direction for management and development of the Buffalo National River. No approved master plan currently exists for the area. The proposed master plan provides a philosophy for development and use, but does not include detailed recommendations on design and management of specific sites. The purpose of a master plan is to implement the general and specific mandates of Congress, cooperative agreements, if any, with other bureaus affecting the management of the area, and the administrative policies of the Service. This purpose is accomplished through the provision of criteria, controls, and guidance for resource management, resource use, and development in terms of a unified planning concept for each area consistent with and complementary to other programs of recreational use, accommodations, and resource planning in the surrounding region. Master plans serve also as zoning or space allocation plans defining not only the areas for development, but also the intensity or magnitude of development. The master plan also defines the areas in which no developments are to be permitted.
