On Monday, Nov. 28, National Park Service (NPS) South Atlantic-Gulf Regional Director Mark Foust signed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Repair and Landscape Improvement Project environmental assessment (EA) at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The purpose of the project includes the following: (1) rehabilitate the interior and restore the exterior of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, (2) repair or replace deteriorated materials and finishes, and (3) selectively reverse non-sympathetic treatments added to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the Oil House after 1920. Additionally, the project includes mitigating impacts to the Cape Hatteras Light Station landscape resulting from high visitation levels as well as providing a more immersive experience.
The EA evaluated the impacts of repairing the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and implementing landscape improvements at the Cape Hatteras Light Station.
After evaluating three alternatives, the NPS selected and approved Alternative C: Circulation Enhanced and Lens Replicated. Under the approved alternative, the following actions will be taken inside and outside the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse during the project:
āOur team will now proceed expeditiously with finalizing design documents, awarding a contract and beginning work in 2023,āĀ said David Hallac, superintendent, National Parks of Eastern North Carolina.

Wow… what a waste of money…

Funky Winkerbean. The National Park Service, through law, is charged with preservation of historic structures. There would be an outcry if they neglected their duty. If you want to see that change, write to your congressman.

Why do you think itās a waste of money, Funky W.? Itās a National Cultural Treasure and attracts lots of people. Those people spend money.
