The newsletter included a description of the project background, purpose and need, project objectives, project issues, and a list of preliminary alternative concepts. The newsletter was available for public review until November 9, 2012.
During the scoping period, public meetings were held in Munising, Marquette, and Grand Marais. NPS staff was on hand to visit with meeting attendees, answer questions, and accept handwritten comments. Comments were also accepted at the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) website.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your interest in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Pictured Rocks is a very special place, and I am committed to managing the
park in full compliance with applicable law and policy.
The use of personal watercraft (PWC) at Pictured Rocks continues to be a challenging issue and I strongly encourage all park stakeholders to take advantage of available opportunities for public input to share with us your issues, concerns and opinions as we work to formulate alternatives regarding the use of PWC and carefully analyze the environmental consequences of those alternatives.
I look forward to hearing from you throughout this important planning process.
Sincerely,
Jim Northup
Superintendent
