No, the planning process will not affect how parkgoers access Salton Sea State Recreation Area or the facilities and recreational activities available.

The implementation of recommended projects that further the broad-based goals and guidelines provided for in the general plan are dependent upon funding and staffing availability. Following completion of the general plan, California State Parks will begin prioritizing recommended projects for implementation. As funding and staffing become available, a combination of project-specific planning, design, engineering, environmental review, permitting and/or approvals may be required to facilitate implementation of recommended projects.

An environmental impact report (EIR) is a document required by the California Environmental Quality Act that analyzes potential environmental impacts of certain projects, including state park general plans. The Salton Sea SRA General Plan will establish goals, guidance and recommendations for the future management, operation and development of the park. The accompanying EIR will evaluate potential environmental impacts of the general plan's recommendations.
