publication of the Federal Register notice of the filing of the Final 
EIS.
    Decision: As soon as practical San Juan Island National Historical 
Park will begin to implement design and initiate construction of the 
Cattle Point Road relocation project, in concert with the Federal 
Highway Administration and San Juan County. Duration of the 
construction phase is expected to last approximately two years. The 
park will undertake construction as detailed in the Preferred 
Alternative (Alternative B) in the Final EIS (which includes 
realignment of 4,950 feet of roadway approximately 300 feet upslope of 
the current location, which will subsequently be restored to a natural 
appearance). There are no substantive changes from the course of action 
as presented in the Draft EIS. The full range of foreseeable 
environmental consequences was assessed, and appropriate mitigation 
measures are included in the approved project. Both a No Action 
alternative and two additional alternatives were identified and 
analyzed in the Draft and Final EIS. Alternative B was deemed to be the 
``environmentally preferred'' course of action.
