GCPBA Newswire - Oct.31, 2005 - Final Environmental Impact Statement 
for Grand Canyon’s Colorado River
Management Plan Anticipated To Be Released Within the Next Two Weeks

Grand Canyon, AZ – Although a Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Colorado River Management 
Plan
(CRMP), Grand Canyon National Park, was published by the National Park
Service (NPS), Department of the Interior, in the Federal Register 
today,
the document will not be available to the public until it is cleared by 
the
Environmental Protection Agency and a Notice of Availability is 
published
by the EPA in the Federal Register.  It is expected that EPA’s NOA will 
be
published within the next two weeks.

A 30-day no-action period will follow publication of EPA’s NOA on the 
Final
EIS for the CRMP in the Federal Register.  Following the 30-day 
no-action
period, a Record of Decision (ROD) will be prepared that documents the 
NPS
decision and rationale for that decision.  The ROD will be released to 
the
public and a summary published in the Federal Register.

The NPS will issue a news release at the time EPA publishes the NOA in 
the
Federal Register announcing the availability of the Final EIS for the 
CRMP.
At that time, the document will be available online at
http://www.nps.gov/grca/crmp.  Copies of the document will also be
available on compact disk (CD) by sending an email message to
grca_crmp at nps.gov with the word “CD” in the subject line.  Include your
name and current mailing address in the body of the message, and a CD 
will
be sent when they are available.  Requests can also be sent to: CRMP 
Team,
Grand Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 129, Grand Canyon, AZ 86023.

For further information please contact Rick Ernenwein, Lead Planner for 
the
CRMP at (928) 779-6279 or Mary Killeen, Special Assistant at (928)
638-7885.
