COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVES—Continued
Issues and topics
• Nuisance and Invasive
Species Management
(Fauna).

Alternative A: Current management

Alternative B: Proposed action

The LSHFC staff identifies and removes beaver dams
throughout the year from culverts and small drains to
promote drainage and maintain trails. Hunt club
members may take hogs during other hunting activities, but these circumstances are opportunistic and
relatively rare; there have been coordinated trapping
efforts between the Service and LSHFC since 2013.

Under this alternative, the Refuge will develop step
down management plans focused on nuisance and
invasive species management. Step Down Plans
would be initiated for an Invasive Species Management Plan, a Feral Hog and Beaver Management
Plan. Step Down Management Plans may initiate
management practices for nuisance species (beaver,
nutria), such as dam removal and trapping, reducing
the negative impacts to existing infrastructure. Additionally, the Refuge will utilize their own staff or contract services to conduct hunting and trapping of feral
hogs.

Final Environmental Impact Statement

National Park Service, Interior.
Notice of availability.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The National Park Service
(NPS) has prepared the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (Final
EIS) for the Alcatraz Ferry Embarkation
project. The Final EIS evaluates four
alternatives for establishing a long-term
ferry embarkation site for passenger
service between the northern San
Francisco waterfront and Alcatraz
Island, and additional occasional ferry
service between the Alcatraz ferry
embarkation site and the existing Fort
Baker pier, as well as other excursions
within the San Francisco Bay.
DATES: The NPS will execute a Record
of Decision no sooner than 30 days after
the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) notice of
filing and availability of the Final EIS.

Recreation Area at (415) 561–4930 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After

the Alcatraz Island ferry embarkation
site moved to Pier 311⁄2 in 2006 when
a new ferry service concessioner was
selected, which led to inconsistencies in
the delivery of visitor services and
impacts on surrounding communities,
business interests, and transit providers.
Federal law generally limits the term of
concession contracts to 10 years or
fewer, and requires that a competitive
process be used to select new
concessioners.
The NPS seeks to secure a site that
will provide a long-term orientation and
ferry embarkation facility for service to
Alcatraz Island from the northern San
Francisco waterfront. The NPS desires
an identifiable and well-functioning
facility that will provide a quality
welcome and support program for
visitors, orient visitors to the history of
Alcatraz Island, and provide a
connection to other Golden Gate
National Recreation Area (GGNRA)
parklands and orientation to the
national park system in general. The
NPS also seeks to establish additional
occasional ferry service between the
primary Alcatraz ferry embarkation site
and the existing Fort Baker pier, as well
as other excursions within the Bay
departing from the primary embarkation
site. The Final EIS evaluated additional
service to and from Fort Mason, but this
activity is not included in the preferred
alternative. These elements would
improve cross-Bay connectivity and
accommodate existing and future visitor
demand for recreational travel to Fort
Baker and the Marin Headlands, thereby
enhancing GGNRA’s operational
effectiveness. Many potential visitors
are unable to obtain tickets to Alcatraz
Island due to the high demand.
Enhanced on-shore visitor facilities
would provide those visitors with
interpretive information about the
island and options for visiting other
GGNRA destinations from San
Francisco.
Public scoping was initiated in the
late spring of 2012. The Notice of Intent
to prepare an EIS was published in the
Federal Register on June 1, 2012.
Scoping meetings were held on June 26
and 28, 2012, at Fort Mason Building
201 in San Francisco and the City Hall
in Sausalito, respectively. Over the
comment period, approximately 90
correspondences were collected from
interested stakeholders.
The Draft EIS was released on March
20, 2015 with comments accepted
through June 4, 2015. During the
comment period, one public meeting
was held on March 31, 2015 at Pier 1
in San Francisco. Approximately 277
pieces of correspondence were received.
