Public Site Visit for the Mariposa Grove Restoration Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) On August 31, 2011, we began public scoping for preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the restoration of the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and improvements to the nearby South Entrance Station. The project is consistent with goals outlined for these areas in the General Management Plan (NPS, 1980). The purpose of public scoping is to inform you about the proposed project and to help identify issues and concerns to consider during the development of site design alternatives for the EIS. The Mariposa Grove Restoration EIS will fulfill environmental analysis and public review requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106). A draft EIS is anticipated for public review next summer. We encourage you to submit comments about this project electronically through the National Park Service Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) System at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/mariposagrove or comments may be mailed to: Superintendent, Yosemite National Park, Attn: Mariposa Grove Restoration EIS, PO Box 577, Yosemite, CA 95389. The formal scoping period will continue until 30 days after publication of the Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register (forthcoming.)
