Sedro Woolley, WA– The public is invited to comment on an Environmental Assessment (EA) to repair and reroute a portion of the lower Thunder Creek Trail, relocate a hiker camp, and create an administrative camp along the trail within the Stephen Mather Wilderness. The purpose of this action is to minimize the impacts of hiker and stock use along the trail, thereby preserving the character of the designated wilderness.

An EA analyzes the environmental impacts of the proposed project and a no action alternative to help determine whether the National Park Service should carry out the proposed action.

All comments on the EA are welcome, particularly those that identify ways to lessen the impacts of the proposed action or address if the document provides enough evaluation of the effects on the environment.

To review the EA and provide electronic comments, go to https://parkplanning.nps.gov/ThunderRelo2020EA.

Comments will be accepted June 15 through July 14, 2020. 

Hardcopy comments can be mailed to: Superintendent, 810 State Route 20, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284.
