Fill out Federal form 424C (Page 38) Instructions on page 39. FPS - A047 21 The purpose of this Proposal Description and Environmental Screening Form (PD/ESF) is to provide descriptive information about Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) proposals for NPS review and decision. This form also serves as the administrative record that supports the pathway used to document the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis for LWCF proposals. States and/or project sponsors should use this PD/ESF early in the planning process for any proposal that will be submitted for NPS review and decision. The ESF portion is a tool for use during project planning that will help to identify potential environmental impacts and issues that will ultimately inform the decision to use a categorical exclusion (CE), or to conduct an Environmental Assessment (EA) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. The ESF can also be used to document potential impacts and planned mitigation from previously conducted and still viable environmental reviews. Except for the proposals listed below, the completed PD/ESF must be completed and signed by the State and accompany each new federal application for LWCF assistance (Standard Form 424), and amendments for scope changes that alter or add facilities and/or acres, including proposals for conversions, public facility exceptions, sheltering outdoor facilities, and changing the original intended use of an area from that which was approved in an earlier LWCF agreement. Consult the LWCF Grants Manual (www.nps.gov/lwcf) for detailed guidance on additional information required for your type of proposal and for further guidance on how to comply with NEPA. For the following types of proposals, only this cover page is required because these proposals are categorically excluded from further NEPA environmental analysis.

For Combination Projects: Fallow Step 2C as appropriate. B. Section 6(f) Conversion Proposal Prior to developing your Section 6(f) conversion proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual and36 CFR 59 for complete guidance on conversions. Local sponsors are encouraged to consult early with the State LWCF manager when a conversion is under consideration or has been discovered. States are also encouraged to consult with their NPS-LWCF manager as early as possible in the conversion process for guidance and to sort out and discuss details of the conversion proposal to avoid mid -course corrections and unnecessary delays. An important first step is for the State and NPS to agree on the size of the Section 6(f) parkland impacted by any non -recreation, non-public use, especially prior to any appraisal activity. For NPS review and decision, the following elements are required to be included in the State's completed conversion proposal to be submitted to NPS: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe in detail the sponsor's need to convert the Section 6(f) parkland including all efforts to consider other practical alternatives to this conversion, how they were evaluated, and the reasons they were not pursued. 3. Provide a statement on how the conversion is in accord with the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). 4. Complete the State Appraisal Review certification in Step 7 for both the converted and replacement parcels certifying that the appraisals meet the "Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions." States should retain copies of the appraisals and make them available if needed. 5. For the parkland proposed for conversion: a. Identify the specific location, 9-digit zip code, and name of park or recreation area proposed for conversion. b. Describe the area proposed for the conversion including the acreage to be converted and any acreage remaining. For determining the size of the conversion, consider not only the physical footprint of the non -recreation development/activities but how the development/activities will impact the entire 6(f) park area. Describe the recreation resources, facilities, and recreation opportunities that will be impacted, displaced or lost by the proposed conversion. For proposals to partially convert a Section 6(f) park area, the remaining 6(f) parkland must remain recreationally viable and not be impacted by the non -recreation activities that are triggering the conversion. If it is anticipated that the non -recreation activities overlap and impact the remaining Section 6(f) area, the proposed area for the conversion should be expanded to encompass all impacted parkland. c. Describe the community and population served by the park, including who uses the park and how? d. For partial conversions, where only a portion of the Section 6(f) area is proposed for conversion, produce a revised 6(f) map clearly indicating both the portion that is being converted and the portion remaining intact under Section 6(f). FPS - A047 26 6. For the proposed replacement site(s): a. Produce a location map indicating specific location of site(s) and associated 9-digit zip code(s), clearly indicating major roadways and waterways. If site(s) will be added to an existing public park/outdoor recreation area, indicate on map. Show geographical relationship between replacement site(s) and Section 6(f) converted parkland. b. Describe the site's physical characteristics and resource attributes by describing and quantifying the types of resources and features on the site (for example, 15 acres wetland, 2,000 feet beachfront, 50 acres forest, scenic views, 75 acres riparian, vacant lot, special habitat, any unique or special features, structures, recreation amenities, historic/cultural resources, hazardous materials/contamination history, restrictions, institutional controls, easements, rights - of -way, overhead/underground utilities including overhead wires, towers, etc. c. Identify the replacement site (s) owner(s) and its recent history of use/function up to the present. d. Explain in detail how the proposed replacement site(s) is of reasonably equivalent usefulness and location as the property being converted. Describe the recreation needs that will be met by the new replacement parks, populations to be served, and new outdoor recreation resources, facilities, and opportunities to be provided. e. Who will own and manage the new replacement park(s)? f. What will be the name(s) of the new replacement park(s)? If replacement park(s) will be added to an existing public park area, will the existing area be included within the 6(f) boundary? What is the name of the existing public park area? g. Provide a timeframe for completing the new park area(s) and making it available for public outdoor recreation use. h. Produce new Section 6(f) map(s) for the new replacement park(s). Environmental analysis must be conducted for converted and replacement sites. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 C. proposal for a Public Facility in a Section 6(f) Area Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. In summary, NIPS must review and decide on requests to construct a public facility within a Section 6(f) area. In certain cases NPS approval may be given to construct public facilities within a Section 6(f) area where it can be shown that there is a gain or increased benefit to public recreational opportunity. In most cases, development of non -recreation public facilities within a Section 6(f) area constitutes a conversion. Describe in detail the public facility proposed and include the following information, if appropriate: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Indicate the location of the proposed public facility on a Section 6(f) map. 3. Describe the design of the proposed public facility and explain how it will be compatible with outdoor recreation, how it supports the outdoor recreation resources of the site whether existing or planned, how it will increase outdoor recreation use, and how outdoor recreation use remains the primary function of the site. (The public's outdoor recreation use must continue to be greater than that expected for any indoor use, unless the site is a single facility, such as a swimming pool, which virtually occupies the entire site.) 4. Explain the location alternatives considered for the public facility and why they were not pursued. 5. When will the facility be open to the public and what will they be able to do there? Describe all functions of the facility including any offices, residential uses or lodging. FPS - A047 27 C. Proposal for Sheltering Facilities Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review and decide on all proposals to shelter an existing outdoor recreation facility or construct a new sheltered recreation facility within a Section 6(f) area with or without LWCF assistance. The proposal must demonstrate that there is a gain or increased benefit to public recreation opportunity. Describe the sheltering proposal in detail, including the following information: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe the proposed sheltered facility, how it would operate, how the sheltered facility will include recreation uses that could typically occur outdoors, and how the primary purpose of the sheltered facility is recreation use. 3. Explain how the sheltered facility would not substantially diminish the outdoor recreation values of the site including how the sheltered facility will be compatible and significantly supportive of the outdoor recreation resources present and/or planned. 4. Explain how the sheltered facility will benefit the total park's outdoor recreation use. 5. Describe efforts provided to the public to review the proposal to shelter the facility and has local support. 6. Document that the sheltered facility will be under the control and tenure of the public agency which sponsors and administers the original park area. 7. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines before developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 Step 5. Summary of Previous Environmental Review Describe any prior environmental review undertaken at any time for this proposal or related efforts that could be useful to understanding potential environmental impacts. Consider previous local, state, federal (e.g. HUD, EPA, USFWS, FHWA, DOT) and other environmental reviews. At a minimum, address the following: 1. Date of review. 2. Purpose for the review and for whom. 3. Project scope and proposed actions and alternatives. 4. Who was involved in identifying resource impact issues and developing the proposal, including the interested and affected public, government agencies, and Indian tribes. 5. Environmental resources analyzed and determination of impacts. 6. Any mitigation measures stipulated in the plan to be part of the proposed action. 7. Public comment periods (how long, when in the process, who was invited to comment) and agency response to public comments. 8. Any formal decision regarding degree of potential impacts to the human environment. 9. Was the LWCF federal action and/or any other federal actions analyzed/reviewed in previous environmental reviews? If so, how and what impacts were identified? Provide specific references. Use resource impact information generated during previous environmental reviews and from recently conducted site inspections to complete the Environmental Screening Form (ESF) portion of this PD/ESF under Step 6. Your responses should indicate your proposal's potential for impacting each resource as FPS - A047 29 identified in the previous environmental review, including a reference to where the analysis can be found in the document. If the previous environmental review proposed actions to mitigate impacts, summarize the mitigation for each resource as appropriate. The environmental review document(s) must be included with this PD/ESF in the proposal package submitted to NPS for federal review. Proceed to Steps B through 7 Step S. Environmental Screening Form (ESF) This ESF portion of this PD/ESF is a working tool for planners and decision -makers to use to identify the degree of potential impacts to resources that may occur as a result of federal approval of the proposal. It also serves as the administrative record documenting the project sponsor's efforts to identify and consider impacts during proposal development. Your ESF responses may change as the planning process refines the proposal that will ultimately be submitted along with the final completed ESF for federal review and decision. As early as possible in your planning process, consider how your proposal/project may have direct, indirect and cumulative impacts on the human environment. By early identification of possible environmental resource impacts, the information will be useful during proposal development, including ways to lessen impacts. Initiating or completing environmental analysis after a decision has been made is contrary to both the spirit and letter of the law of the National Environmental Policy Act. The ESF should be completed with input from resource experts and in consultation with relevant local, state, tribal and federal governments, as applicable. The interested and affected public should be notified of the proposal and invited to provide input as well. At a minimum, a site inspection of the affected area must be conducted by individuals who are familiar with the type of affected resources, possess the ability to identify potential resource impacts, and to know when to seek additional data when needed. At the time of proposal submission to NPS for federal review, the completed ESF should reflect the project sponsor's final determination of the extent to which the proposal will impact the list of resources on the form. The results of the completed ESF will inform the State's choice of which NEPA pathway to follow, i.e., categorical exclusion (CE), environmental assessment (EA), environmental impact statement (EIS). Also, the completed ESF will identify the resource topics and issues that should be presented and analyzed in an EA or an EIS if required. Consult the LWCF Manual for further guidance on LWCF and NEPA. The ESF contains two parts that must be completed: A. Impacts to Environmental Resources B. Mandatory Criteria Part A: For each environmental resource topic, choose an impact estimate level (none, negligible, minor, exceeds minor) that describes the degree of potential negative impact that may occur directly, indirectly and cumulatively as a result of federal approval of your proposal. These impact levels should be used to estimate specific impact levels on each separate resource and must be accompanied with a brief explanation of how the resource might be affected, how the impact level was determined, and why the chosen impact level is appropriate. If an environmental review has already been conducted on your proposal and it includes planned mitigation, explain this for each applicable resource and choose an impact level as mitigated. If the resource does not apply to your proposal, mark NA in the first column. Add any relevant resources (see A23) if not included in the list. Part B: This is a list of mandatory impact criteria that preclude the use of categorical exclusions. If you answer "yes" or "maybe" for any of the mandatory criteria, you must proceed to develop an EA or EIS regardless of your answers in Part Section A. Use a separate sheet to explain all potential negative impacts (negligible, minor and those exceeding minor) as well as to indicate the type of data that still needs to be determined for each of the applicable resources listed below. Describe direct, indirect and cumulative impacts as well as explain any planned mitigation already addressed in previous environmental reviews. For the Mandatory Criteria, explain all "yes" and "maybe" answers. FPS -A047 30 6. Explain any memberships or user fees that will be instituted, including the fee structure. 7. Consult the LWCF Manual for any additional requirements and guidelines prior to developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through T Step 4. Proposals for Temporary Non -Conforming Use, Significant Change in Use, and Sheltering Facilities (See LWCF Manual for guidance.) A. Proposal for Temporary Non -Conforming Use Prior to developing this proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS must review and decided on requests for temporary uses that do not meet the requirements of allowable activities within a Section 6(f) area. A temporary non -conforming use is limited to a period of,six months (180 days) or less. Continued use beyond six -months will not be considered temporary, and may result in a Section 6(f)(3) conversion of use requiring the replacement of converted parkland. For NPS review, describe the temporary non -conforming use (activities other than public outdoor recreation) in detail including the following information: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe in detail the proposed temporary non -conforming use, why it is needed, and alternative locations that were considered and why they were not pursued. 3. Explain length of time needed for the temporary non -conforming use and why. 4. Describe the size of the parkland area affected by a temporary non -conforming use and the impacts to public use of the Section 6(f) area. The proposal should explain efforts to keep the size of the area impacted by the non -recreation use to a minimum. Indicate the location of the non -conforming use on the site's 6(f) map. 5. Describe any anticipated temporary/permanent impacts to the Section 6(f) area and how the sponsor will mitigate them during and after the non -conforming use ceases. 6. Consult the LWCF Manual for additional requirements and guidelines before developing the proposal. Proceed to Steps 5 through 7 B. Proposal for Significant Change in Use Prior to developing the proposal, you must consult the LWCF Manual for complete guidance. NPS approval must be obtained prior to any change from one eligible use to another when the proposed use would significantly contravene the original plans or intent for the area outlined in the original LWCF application for federal assistance. NPS approval is not required for each and every facility use change. For proposals that will significantly change the use of a LWCF-assisted site (e.g., from passive to active recreation), address the following points: 1. A letter of transmittal from the SLO recommending the proposal. 2. Describe proposed changes and how they significantly contravene the original plans or intent of LWCF agreements. 3. Explain the need for the change in use and how the change is consistent with local plans and the SCORP. 4.

NEPA Pathway Recommendation and Certifications First consult the attached list of "Categorical Exclusions (CE's) for Which a Record is Needed," If you find your action in the CE list, and you have determined in Step 6A that impacts will be minor or less for each applicable environmental resource on the ESF, and you answered "no" to all of the "Mandatory Criteria" questions in Step 613, the proposal qualifies for a CE. Complete the following "State LWCF Environmental Recommendations" box indicating the CE recommendation. If you find your action in the CE list, and you have determined in Step 6A that impacts will be greater than minor or that more data is needed for any of the resources, and you answered "no" to all of the "Mandatory Criteria" questions, your environmental review team may choose to do additional analysis to determine the context, duration, and intensity of the impacts of your project or may wish to revise the proposal to minimize impacts. If impacts remain at the greater than minor level, an EA must be prepared for your proposal. Complete the following "State Environmental Recommendations" box indicating the need for an EA. If you do not find your action in the CE list, regardless of your answers in Step 6, you must prepare an EA or EIS. Complete the following "State Environmental Recommendations" box indicating the need for an EA or EIS.
