Park Management/ Park Planning

On July 23, 2008 the National Park Service (NPS) issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Flamingo Commercial Services Plan (CSP) project. The Southeast Regional Director approved the FONSI based on the environmental assessment (EA) recommended by Everglades National Park Superintendent. With the environmental assessment and associated compliance completed, the park began focusing on the rebuilding effort described in the plan.
