The National Park Service (NPS) has released for public review an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the Spanish-American War Battery, a newly acquired asset within Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. NPS is considering a series of actions for protecting, managing, sustaining, and interpreting the historic landscape and structure and guidance on integrating the cultural resources with the visitor experience. The purpose of preparing the EA is to identify and disclose potential impacts resulting from the implementation of a no action alternative and an action alternative (design concept plan) for providing visitor access and associated amenities and expansion of interpretation at the Spanish-American War Battery.
