    Superintendent’s Message Welcome! I am so grateful to have you here to help caretake Yosemite during these unprecedented circumstances. Thank you for your commitment to public service and public land during this challenging time. On behalf of the leadership team, we are deeply honored to have you as part of our world-class team. While not new to the park, I began here as the Acting Superintendent this past January. I’ve spent my career in the park service and most recently came from Point Reyes National Seashore where I’ve been superintendent since 2010. I have always been inspired at every opportunity to work with Yosemite’s passionate and talented staff and my experience since January has only underscored this sentiment. My vision for Yosemite in Summer 2020 is first and foremost to ensure the safety of our staff and visitors. Our physical and mental health are Commented [KN1]: I would say here something like, “I critical to our success as a park. We live closely with each other and with the dynamic natural landscape, both of have been impressed by the speak up culture here at which require us to be uniquely aware and resilient. I fully encourage each and every one of you to take Yosemite. If you ever feel unsafe in the task you are given, advantage of the support services available to you as an employee with the understanding that daily peer support please be sure to speak up and let your supervisor know.” is the most effective strategy benefitting us at individual and organizational levels.

This includes how consultation was conducted, properties identified in the area of potential effects, and an assessment of effect on historic properties in more detail than that provided in the EIS. This document includes a list of all historic properties and the determination of effect anticipated under the preferred alternative (Alternative 5). Resolution of adverse effects would be addressed consistent with 36 CFR Part 800.6 and 800.11, and would require continued consultation with SHPO, ACHP and traditionally-associated American Indian tribes and groups. 36 CFR PART 800.3 INITIATION OF THE SECTION 106 PROCESS Planning for the Merced Wild and Scenic River has been carried out in consultation with state, federal, and local agencies; the public; and tribes and groups associated with the Merced Wild and Scenic River corridor. Consistent with 36 CFR Part 800.3(b) and 36 CFR Part 800.8, the review process for Section 106 of the NHPA is being conducted in coordination with the NEPA review process for the Merced River Plan/DEIS.
