"This Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzes the impacts of providing federal funding for the proposed public access improvements at Hika Park. If NOAA does not contribute funding towards the bridge (a scenario referred to herein as the No Action alternative), the Village would likely secure $36,000 from another funding source, delaying the installation of the bridge. The EA conforms to requirements for implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and NOAA Administrative Order 216-6A, "Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act, Executive Orders 12114, Environmental Effects Abroad of Major Federal Actions; 11988 and 13690, Floodplain Management; and 11990, Protection of Wetlands." The EA analyzes the potential for significant environmental impacts to the human environment from the proposed action, along with the No Action alternative"--Introduction (1).
