The 2001 General Management Plan (GMP) for Lake Roosevelt established overall strategies for meeting the general goals and purposes of Lake Roosevelt. Since that time, other management issues have surfaced that are not adequately addressed in the GMP, including the increase in private development along the shoreline, crowding of existing facilities, beach camping, and disposal of human waste. The Shoreline Management Plan will tier from the goals and objectives established by the GMP and provide for the level of detail needed to address these and other issues yet to be fully identified by the NPS and the public.
Superintendent Debbie Bird is very pleased to announce the first phase of the public involvement process, called “scoping.” Scoping is designed to help identify a management vision and highlight what topics the public feels are most important to future management of the recreation area. “A great plan requires public involvement early and often in the process” said Bird.
Four scoping workshops have been scheduled to assist the public to learn more about the process and the issues the plan is expected to address. The meetings will be held in an open house format and park service representatives will be available to facilitate discussion and comments about the issues the SMP should cover. The scoping workshops are scheduled as follows:
Monday, September 8, 2008, 6-8 p.m. Community Colleges of Spokane-Colville Center 985 South Elm Street (please use east entrance) Colville WA 99114
Tuesday, September 9, 2009, 5:30-8:30 p.m. Coulee Dam City Hall 300 Lincoln Avenue Coulee Dam WA 99116
Wednesday, September 10, 6-8 p.m. Lincoln County Public Works Building 27234 SR 25 N (1/4 mile north of Davenport on Hwy 25) Davenport WA 99122
Thursday, September 11, 6-8 p.m. Ramada Inn Spokane Airport 8909 West Airport Drive Spokane WA 99219
Written comments may be submitted at the scoping meetings or by mail to National Park Service, 1008 Crest Drive, Coulee Dam WA 99116. They can also be faxed to 509-633-9332 or sent via email to https://parkplanning.nps.gov/parkHome.cfm?parkId=318. Comments must be postmarked no later than September 30, 2008. These comments will become part of the public record, and each will be considered in the plan. |
