Dear Friends of Yosemite National Park:

 

We are pleased to provide you with a copy of the Finding of No Significant Impact for the Yosemite Lodge Area Redevelopment Plan. The project area is located in Yosemite Valley, and includes a comprehensive redevelopment of the Yosemite Lodge area consistent with the General Management Plan and Yosemite Valley Plan.

 

This redevelopment plan includes several distinct project elements: the redevelopment of Yosemite Lodge, the redesign of Camp 4 walk-in campground, and the relocation of Northside Drive. The plan also includes development of the Indian Cultural Center within Yosemite Valley, which is being undertaken by the National Park Service in partnership with the American Indian Council of Mariposa County (the group that represents the Southern Sierra Miwuk). The distinct project elements have been collectively analyzed to assess the overall environmental impacts that would occur upon project implementation.

 

Please note that this packet contains Errata Sheets for the Yosemite Lodge Area Redevelopment Environmental Assessment and that these Errata Sheets should be kept with your copy of that document.

The National Park Service has determined that implementation of the Yosemite Lodge Area Redevelopment will not have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, an environmental impact statement will not be prepared.

We thank you for your comments regarding the project. Public participation is a key element in the environmental review process at Yosemite National Park. Your participation helps to ensure that the National Park Service fully understands and considers your values and concerns.

 

Sincerely,

Michael Tollefson signature

Michael J. Tollefson

Superintendent
