Comprehensive Conservation Plans
for Assabet River, Great Meadows, and

Fish and Wildlife Service,
Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) announces that the
final Comprehensive Conservation Plans
(CCP) are available for the Assabet
River, Great Meadows, and Oxbow
National Wildlife Refuges (NWR). These
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
CCPs were prepared pursuant to the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
6688dd et seq.), and the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969. The
CCPs describe how the Service intends
to manage the refuges over the next 15
years.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the CCPs are
available on compact diskette or in hard
copy, and may be obtained by writing
Bill Perry, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, 73 Weir Hill Road, Sudbury,
Massachusetts 01776, or by e-mailing
northeastplanning@fws.gov. These
documents may also be accessed at the
Web address https://library.fws.gov/

Perry, Refuge Planner at the above
address, 978–443–4661 ext. 32, or email at Bill_Perry@fws.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Wildlife System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge
Improvement Act of 1997, requires the
Service to develop a CCP for each
refuge. The purpose of developing a
CCP is to provide refuge managers with
a 15-year strategy for achieving refuge
purposes and contributing toward the
mission of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife science,
conservation, legal mandates, and
Service policies. In addition to outlining
broad management direction on
conserving wildlife and habitats, a CCP
identifies wildlife-dependent
recreational opportunities available to
the public, including opportunities for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. The CCP
will be reviewed and updated at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1969, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, and the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969.
Great Meadows NWR was established
in 1944, when the Concord
impoundments became the first tract of
land in the refuge. The refuge currently
includes 3,863 acres and extends into
eight towns. Great Meadows NWR is
divided into two units: The Concord
unit (1,542 acres) and the Sudbury unit
(2,321 acres). The refuge was created
under the Migratory Bird Conservation
Act ‘‘for use as an inviolate sanctuary,
or for any other management purpose,
for migratory birds.’’ The refuge
PO 00000
Frm 00042

provides habitat for a variety of species.
For example, the Concord
impoundments are used by many
migrating waterfowl, shorebirds, wading
and marsh birds. The upland areas
support woodcock, songbirds, and many
raptors. The marsh habitats are used by
amphibians and reptiles. This diversity
of habitats helps to contribute to a
number of regional conservation
priorities.
Assabet River NWR was formerly
known as the Sudbury Training Annex
and is the most recent addition to the
Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife
Refuge Complex. It was created in the
fall of 2000, when Fort Devens Army
base transferred 2,230 acres to the
Service. This transfer was made in
accordance with the Defense Base
Closure and Realignment Act of 1990,
with the purpose of having ‘‘particular
value in carrying out the national
migratory bird management program.’’
All acres within the approved refuge
boundary are acquired. The large
wetland complex and the contiguous
forested areas are important feeding and
breeding areas for migratory birds.
Under U.S. Army administration, the
refuge was not opened to general public
use; however, hunting, fishing, and
interpretive opportunities remain a high
priority for local community members.
The Oxbow NWR is located in northcentral Massachusetts, approximately 35
miles northwest of Boston,
Massachusetts. The refuge consists of
1,667 acres of upland, southern New
England floodplain forest and wetland
communities along nearly 8 miles of the
Nashua River corridor. Oxbow NWR is
a long, narrow parcel having a north/
south orientation and was formed by
three land transfers from the former U.S.
Army, Fort Devens Military Installation,
and a recent purchase of private land in
Harvard, Massachusetts. The primary
purpose for which Oxbow NWR was
created is its ‘‘* * * particular value in
carrying out the National Migratory Bird
Management Program’’ (16 U.S.C. 667B,
an Act authorizing the transfer of certain
real property for wildlife, or other
purposes, as amended). The refuge’s
interspersion of wetland, forested
upland and old field habitats is ideally
suited for this purpose. The refuge
supports a diverse mix of migratory
birds including waterfowl, wading
birds, raptors, shorebirds, passerines, as
well as resident mammals, reptiles,
amphibians, fish and invertebrates.
The extensive and regionally
significant wetlands occurring on and
adjacent to all three refuges, including
their associated tributary drainages and
headwaters, have been listed as a
priority for protection under both the
