THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES

 
The comments primarily focused on identifying and avoiding impacts to populations of threatened, endangered and sensitive species. Other comments suggest that the construction of the road and the existence of the road will cause direct and indirect impacts to the species through degradation of their habitats and the dangers of having automobiles in their habitat.



The summary of public comments was derived from individual input related to the North Shore Road EIS Project. These comments were obtained through transcripts
and other written correspondence collected at the Public Scoping Meetings and written correspondence sent to the Project P.O. Box, the North Shore Road website, the National Park Service, and the Federal Highway Administration.

The tone and content of these comments represent the views of the individuals providing input and do not necessarily reflect actual events and/or factual information.

While a brief summary of unique comments is included, the original statement in its entirety has been retained for record purposes.

Action items requested by the public will be evaluated and addressed during the EIS process.
