Draft general management plan : Environmental assessment : Upper St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers

National Park Service. Denver Service Center. 1997. Draft general management plan : Environmental assessment : Upper St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers. NPS D-42. United States. National Park Service. Denver Service Center. Denver, CO

The purpose of this plan is to describe the general direction that the National Park Service intends to follow in managing the upper riverway for the next 1 5 to 20 years while meeting the stated purposes of the upper riverway as set forth in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The general management plan process is a multiagency endeavor that provides opportunities for public comment. The plan includes a range of alternatives for managing the riverway, as well as an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of implementing each alternative. A no-action alternative (a continuation of management under the 1 976 Master Plan) is also provided as a basis of comparison. The preferred plan would provide a framework for proactive decision making, including decisions on visitor use, natural and cultural resource management, and general development.
