The National Park Service at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is pleased to announce the availability of the “Finding of No Significant Impacts (FONSI)” for the project to Replace Docks and Fuel Systems, and Rehabilitate Parking Areas at Seven Bays Marina.

In February 2024, the NPS released an Environmental Assessment (EA) that analyzed the rehabilitation of the Seven Bays Marina to improve site amenities and to provide a safer and more accessible park facility for the public.

The FONSI, approved by the NPS regional director for Interior Regions 8,9,10 and 12 on October 3, 2024, describes the selected action and explains why the plan will have no significant effects on the natural, cultural, or human environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement will not be prepared. Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, was selected.

As one of the busiest concessions operated marinas and boat launches for transient boaters on the lake, these improvements are critical and will address deferred maintenance in the park. Construction at Seven Bays is tentatively scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025.
