White-tailed Deer Management Plan,

jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES

AGENCY: National Park Service,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the White-tailed Deer Management
Plan, Valley Forge National Historical
Park.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended, the National Park Service
(NPS) announces the availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the White-tailed Deer
Management Plan for Valley Forge
National Historical Park, Pennsylvania.
The purpose of the FEIS is to evaluate
a range of alternatives for establishing a
white-tailed deer management plan that
supports forest regeneration and
provides for long-term protection,
preservation, and restoration of native
vegetation and other natural and
cultural resources. The FEIS evaluates
four alternatives for managing whitetailed deer in the park. Alternatives for
response to chronic wasting disease
(CWD) have been integrated into each
deer management alternative to address

the elevated risk of disease in proximity
to the park and because of the
efficiencies and cost savings associated
with incorporating CWD response into
the deer management plan. The FEIS
describes and analyzes the
environmental impacts of three action
alternatives and the no-action
alternative. The FEIS responds to, and
incorporates, agency and public
comments received on the Draft Whitetailed Deer Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement, which
was available for public review from
December 19, 2008 through February 17,
2009. Agency and public comments
with NPS responses are provided as
Appendix F of the FEIS. When
approved, the plan will guide deer
management actions over the next 15
years.
DATES: No sooner than 30 days
following publication of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Notice of Availability of the FEIS in the
Federal Register, the Northeast Regional
Director will sign a Record of Decision
that will document NPS approval of the
FEIS and identify the alternative
selected for implementation.
ADDRESSES: The White-tailed Deer
Management Plan/FEIS will be available
online through the NPS Planning,
Environment, and Public Comment
(PEPC) Web site at http://
parkplanning.nps.gov/vafo. A limited
number of hard copies will be available
at the Valley Forge National Historical
Park Visitor Center located at the
intersection of North Gulph Road and
Route 23 and at the Lower Providence
Community Library (50 Parklane Drive,

Appropriations Report (HR 109–465):
‘‘The public has been patient as the NPS
has worked through its process in regard
to management of the over-abundance of
white-tailed deer at the park. Within
existing funds, NPS is directed to begin
the environmental impact statement for
deer management. The Committee
expects that the plan will be funded
fully so that it can be completed in
fiscal year 2008. The Committee further
expects that implementation of the
selected action will begin immediately
upon signing of the Record of Decision.’’
A Notice of Intent to prepare a deer
management plan and environmental
impact statement was published in the
Federal Register on September 7, 2006.
Extensive agency and public scoping
was conducted and the Draft WhiteTailed Deer Management Plan/
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
was released on December 19, 2008 for
a 60-day public review period that
ended on February 17, 2009. Two public
meetings were held in January, 2009.
During the comment period, 1,168
pieces of correspondence were received,
from which 3,884 comments were
derived. Agency and public comments
received on the DEIS were carefully
reviewed and incorporated into the
FEIS.
The FEIS evaluates four alternatives
for managing white-tailed deer in the
park. The document describes and
analyzes the environmental impacts of
three action alternatives and the noaction alternative.
Alternatives: Alternative A (no action)
would continue the existing deer
management activities of monitoring
deer population size and vegetation,
small scale fencing of selected
vegetation, removal of deer killed on
roadways, public education,
coordination with the Pennsylvania
Game Commission, and continuation of
limited CWD surveillance; no new deer
management actions would be
implemented.
Alternative B would combine several
non-lethal actions, including large-scale
rotational fencing of 10% to 15% of the
park’s forested area and reproductive
control of does to gradually reduce deer
population in the park. Chronic wasting
disease surveillance would include live
testing (via tonsillar biopsy) and
removal of CWD-positive individuals.
Under Alternative C, qualified federal
employees or contractors would directly
reduce the deer population in the park
through sharpshooting and through
capture and euthanasia, where
appropriate. CWD response would
include rapid reduction of the deer
population to the target deer density
and the potential for a one-time
