Under the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the National Park Service is preparing an environmental impact statement for the Resource Protection Study (RPS) for Curecanti National Recreation Area, Colorado. The study will result in recommendations to be made to the Congress, as directed by Public Law 106-76, concerning resource protection and open space on land within and surrounding Curecanti National Recreation Area. The alternatives to be considered include no action, the preferred alternative, and other alternatives that address issues required by P.L. 106-76: <bullet> assess the natural, cultural, recreational and scenic resource value and character of the land within and surrounding the Curecanti National Recreation Area (including open vistas, wildlife habitat, and other public benefits); <bullet> identify practicable alternatives that protect the resource value and character of the land within and surrounding the Curecanti National Recreation Area; <bullet> recommend a variety of economically feasible and viable tools to achieve these purposes; <bullet> estimate the costs of implementing the approaches recommended by the study; and not later than October 21, 2002, submit a report to Congress containing the study's findings and recommendations. The National Park Service is planning to hold an open house regarding the Curecanti Resource Protection Study between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on May 24, at the Gunnison County Multi-Purpose Building, Gunnison Fairgrounds, 275 South Spruce, Gunnison, CO. The purpose of the open house is to explain the planning process, to solicit concerns and comments regarding the study, and to identify resource and other issues that need to be resolved. The National Park Service will send individual notices regarding the meeting to adjacent landowners and to other persons and organizations on the park's mailing list, as well as prepare news releases to be distributed to various forms of news media announcing the open house meeting.
