Fort Mason Long Term Lease

The National Park Service has completed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Environmental Assessment (EA) to evaluate the potential impacts of a long-term lease between NPS and the Fort Mason Foundation (FMF) for the continuing operation of the Fort Mason Center.

The FONSI, along with the environmental assessment (EA) and Errata, completes the environmental impact analysis for the project. The Errata should be attached to the original EA to comprise a full and correct record of the impact analysis. Based on this analysis, the implementation of mitigation measures, and with due consideration of the nature of public and agency comments, the NPS has determined that the selected alternative would not have the potential to significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment.

The environmental documents can be found here.

A 1° F increase in average temperature seen in California over the last 100 years has led to Sierra snow melting 2 to 4 weeks earlier and flowers blooming 1 to 2 weeks earlier. Temperatures are predicted to increase another 1° to 2° F in the next 25 years.
