Washington, DC 20008-1207 l .A.2 (NCR-ROCR) FEB 27 2020 Mr. David Maloney State Historic Preservation Officer Attn: Mr. Andrew Lewis DC Historic Preservation Office Office ofPlanning 1100-4th Street, SW, Suite E650 Washington, DC 20024 RE: Rock Creek Park - Unified Signage Plan - Seeking Review and Concurrence to Finding of No Adverse Effect Dear Mr. Maloney: The National Park Service (NPS) is continuing the planning for a proposal to develop a unified plan for signage for U.S. Reservation 339 and other properties administered by Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, including units ofthe Civil War Defenses ofWashington. As such, we seek your review and comment on the proposed undertaking. Existing signage within Rock Creek Park and its administered sites is inconsistent with modem standards, having been installed incrementally over the last 20 years. Further, many areas are lacking identification and visitor wayfinding. This plan represents a sign palette or system that can be used and implemented in the future and provides a consistent and unified look. Signs being designed under this project include park identity signs, roadway signs, and trail signs. The proposed system is based on a modem Uni Guide system and standards, and is being developed by Hunt Designs, which developed the sign system for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Please find enclosed the final sign plan and renderings for your review. Please note, the signs will not all be replaced at once. Instead, replacement and installation of new signs will occur in phases when funding is available, or when an existing sign is at the end of its useable life.

  • Rock Creek Trail Final EA
    Rock Creek Park Multi-Use Trail Rehab ilit ation Affected Environment CHAPTER 3: AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT This “Affected Environment” chapter of the EA describes existing environmental conditions in the proposed project area. These conditions serve as a baseline for understanding the resources that could be impacted by implementation of the proposed action. The resource topics presented in this chapter, and the organization of these topics, correspond to the resources discussions discussed in “Chapter 4: Environmental Consequences.” 3.1. SOILS Geomorphic processes shape the landscape of Rock Creek Park, which consists of a steep, rugged stream valley and rolling hills. The park straddles the boundary of two physiographic provinces: the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The transitional zone between the two provinces is known as the Fall Line. The Piedmont is composed of hard, crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks, extending to the west of Rock Creek Park. Rolling hills of the region were formed through folding, faulting, metamorphism, uplifting and erosion. Piedmont soils are highly weathered and generally well-drained. The Atlantic Coastal Plain is a generally flat region composed of sediment deposits from the past 100 million years, extending to the east of Rock Creek Park. The sediment deposits have been continually reworked by fluctuating sea levels and erosive forces. As a result, typical soils of the region are well drained sands or sandy loams (NPS 2009). The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has compiled an inventory of District of Columbia soils, in order to deliver science based soil information. The locations, descriptions, recommended uses and limitations of soils are identified in The Soil Survey of the District of Columbia (USDA 1976).

  • Rock Creek Trail Final EA
    Rock Creek Park Multi-Use Trail Rehab ilit ation Consultation and Coordination CHAPTER 5: CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION NEPA regulations require an “early and open process for determining the scope of issues to be addressed and for identifying the significant issues related to a proposed action.” To determine the scope of issues to be analyzed in depth in this plan, meetings were conducted with the lead agencies and the public. 5.1. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Public scoping for the proposed action was originally initiated by NPS in 2006. A meeting was held on October 26 at Peirce Mill to give the public the opportunity to share ideas on the potential rehabilitation of the trail. Based on comments received during the 2006 scoping, a project to prepare an EA commenced in 2009. During this time, federal and local agencies, as well as community stakeholders, were invited to provide comments on the scope of the EA and the proposed action. Three letters were received from the public during the scoping period. A letter from Friends of Peirce Mill was received describing the restoration efforts underway at the Mill in 2009. The Friends of Rose Park commented on their preference to see the Rose Park trail renovated in its current location and at its current width. The Beall Court Condominium Association also commented that the Rose Park trail should not be widened. Prior to the release of the EA, the project was put on hold. In November 2010, when funding again became available, the Rock Creek Park Multi-Use Trail Rehabilitation was reinitiated. In addition to an agency scoping period, a public scoping period was opened January 28, 2011 through February 28, 2011.

The park extends along the valley formed by Rock Creek from the National Zoo to the northwest corner of the District of Columbia and is roughly bordered by Oregon Avenue and Broad Branch Road on the west and Sixteenth Street, Colorado Avenue, and Adams Mill Road on the east. The total area of Rock Creek Park is 1,754.37 acres. The combined road mileage is 18.79 miles. CONSTRUCTION DATE: The development of the park road system can be divided into three successive phases: the initial development phases under the Board of Control of Rock Creek Park between 1897 and 1912, which resulted in the construction of Beach Drive, Glover Road, Morrow Drive, Ross Drive, Wise Road, and related bridges; the improvement and expansion of the park road system in the 1920s under the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds, which included the construction of Bingham Drive, Sherrill Drive, and Joyce Road and the surfacing of outdated waterbound macadam pavements with penetration asphalt; and the renovation of the park road system by the National Park Service in the 1950s to accommodate the demands of modern motor traffic through more substantial roadbeds and pavements, modest realignments, new bridges and lighting fixtures, and underground drainage.
