Credit First Service Union "Until the study is complete and goes through the public comment period," said Charlotte Obergh, management assistant at the lake for the Park Service, "personal watercraft use will not be allowed on the lake. We're under court order. We have to prohibit their use."

The National Park Service is expected to decide in November whether to ban snowmobiles. The snowmobile industry said the environmental agency's study did not consider data from manufacturers. Yellowstone, the world's oldest national park, covers 2.2 million acres from the northwest corner of Wyoming into southern Montana and eastern Idaho. The 310, acre Grand Teton park is south of Yellowstone.

Card Credit Processing Service Exact numbers of the small craft on the lake are not available, but Freddie Hancock, owner of the Lake Powell Water World in Page, Ariz., said "they are in the thousands."

Center Credit Service Union In March of 2000, the Park Service published its long-awaited rules on the use of PWCs, which allowed for their continued use at Lake Powell, subject to possible restrictions.

Card Credit Service Wireless The Bluewater Network, San Francisco-based environmental group that is also spearheading the ban on snowmobiles in Yellowstone National Park, sued the Park Service in August of 2000 alleging failure to include the proper NEPA analysis and public comment on the PWC decision-making process. In September of 2000, the Park Service began negotiating with Bluewater on its lawsuit. A settlement agreement was reached with Bluewater and approved in April of 2001.

Credit Security Service Union The agreement was that all park units that chose to authorize continued PWC use were required to complete a rulemaking process to authorize that use, which included an environmental impact statement. Eight park units with water features, including Lake Powell and Lake Mead, were given until Sept. 15 to complete the process.

Credit Report Service "Typically, it can take up to three years to complete an EIS," said Obergh. "We're trying to get this done on an accelerated schedule. If all goes well we'll have a final draft approved in April. If it does recommend continued use, then we'll have to put into place a special regulation for Lake Powell."

Credit Federal Service Union "Even though the ban doesn't start until Sept. 15, we're already seeing the results here in Page. People are making arrangements to go other places where they can use their personal watercraft."

Credit Monitoring Service A phone call to Bluewater Network on Wednesday afternoon was not returned by press time.

Credit Division Service The preliminary draft, said Obergh, will be out sometime in September. There will then be a 60-day public comment period, after which a final draft plan will be written, which will include a recommendation for a preferred alternative. This draft, too, will be open to a 60-day comment period. The final draft will then be written and, as she said, if all goes well will be out in April.
