The National Park Service (NPS), Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), has identified a requirement for the preparation of a Joint Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Big Lagoon Wetland and Creek Restoration Project located in Muir Beach, Marin County, California, pursuant of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project site encompasses 40.9 acres at the mouth of Redwood Creek, which drains an 8.9 square mile watershed on the southwestern flank of Mt. Tamalpais. Although the entire site is within GGNRA boundary, only half of the site is owned by NPS. The remainder is owned by the San Francisco Zen Center and is part of Green Gulch Farm. A Marin county road, Pacific Way, crosses the site and crosses Redwood Creek. Reconfiguration of the road and the bridge that crosses Redwood Creek will be included in the restoration design. The EIS/EIR is expected to comply with the NEPA, NPS' Director's Order 12, NPS Organic Act (16 U.S.C. 1 et seq.), CEQA Guideline (as amended), Marin County EIR Guidelines and County process for preparation of an EIR. GGNRA has conducted NEPA scoping for the project. The scoping meeting held to fulfill NEPA requirements may fulfill CEQA requirements.
