SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Kern National Wildlife Refuge is
located in the southern portion of
California’s San Joaquin Valley, in Kern
County. It was established in 1960, to
provide wintering habitat for waterfowl
and other migratory birds in the
southern San Joaquin Valley. Kern
Refuge consists of a 11,249-acre unit,
owned by the Service. Kern Refuge’s
seasonal wetlands are an important
wintering area for Pacific Flyway
waterfowl and a popular destination for
southern California hunters. The
Refuge’s grassland, alkali scrub, and
riparian communities support four
endangered species and several other
special status species.
Pixley National Wildlife Refuge is
located northeast of Kern Refuge in
Tulare County. Pixley Refuge was set
aside in 1959, to provide wintering
habitat for migratory birds. Later, it was
expanded to protect habitat for the
endangered blunt-nosed leopard lizard
and Tipton kangaroo rat. The Pixley
Refuge acquisition boundary contains
about 10,300 acres, of which, about 62
percent is owned by the Federal
government. Pixley Refuge protects
mostly grassland and smaller amounts
of alkali playa, saltbush scrub, vernal
pools, and riparian habitats. Pixley
Refuge also has 756 acres of moist soil
wetlands that are managed for wintering
waterfowl, sandhill cranes, and other
migratory birds.
The availability of the Draft CCP and
Environmental Assessment (EA) for a
30-day public review and comment
period was published in the Federal
Register on Friday, June 25, 2004 in
Volume 69, Number 122. The Draft
CCP/EA identified and evaluated four
alternatives for managing the Refuges
for the next 15 years. Alternative A was
the no-action alternative which
described current Refuge management
activities. Under Alternative B,
improvements at Kern Refuge would
have focused on improving habitat for
migratory waterfowl and increasing
waterfowl hunting opportunities.
Changes at Pixley Refuge under
Alternative B would have focused on
improving and expanding the Refuge’s
existing threatened and endangered
species management and environmental
education and interpretation programs.
Under Alternative C (the selected plan),
Kern Refuge’s focus will continue to
emphasize providing wintering habitat
for waterfowl and other migratory birds,
and also contributing to the recovery of
PO 00000
Frm 00053

targeted special status species.
Management programs for all wildlifedependant public uses will improve and
expand. Changes at Pixley Refuge under
Alternative C will be similar to those
under Alternative B with additional
improvements in sandhill crane
management. Under Alternative D,
management of both Kern and Pixley
Refuges would have changed to
maximize native biodiversity. The
Service would have substantially
modified management of moist soil
units at both Refuges to encourage
native waterfowl food plants and
improve habitat for shorebirds.
The Service received thirteen
comment letters on the Draft CCP and
EA. The comments received were
incorporated into the CCP, when
appropriate, and are responded to in an
appendix to the CCP. Alternative C was
selected for implementation and is the
basis for the Final CCP.
With the management program
described in the Final CCP, the Service
will continue existing management of
moist soil units at Kern and Pixley
Refuges and seasonal marsh units at
Kern Refuge. In addition, the Service
will rehabilitate 1,330 acres of seasonal
marsh units at Kern Refuge to improve
habitat conditions and water
management efficiency. One of the
objectives of the CCP is eradicating 90
percent of the salt cedar on Kern Refuge
within five years, using flooding and
mechanical removal. To provide
sanctuary for wintering birds and other
wildlife, the existing flexible closed
zone will be maintained. Pixley Refuge
will remain closed to hunting. The
Service will continue to maintain water
through most of the summer in the
eastern portion of unit 1 to provide
nesting habitat for tricolor blackbirds,
white-faced ibis, and other colonial
nesting birds. In addition, a 272-acre
grain unit will be developed on Pixley
Refuge to provide forging habitat for
sandhill cranes and geese.
Under the selected plan, the Service
will continue to use cattle grazing on
Kern and Pixley Refuge’s upland
habitats as a vegetation management
tool to improve conditions for the
endangered blunt-nosed leopard lizard
and Tipton kangaroo rat. In addition, a
grassland management plan will be
developed that will explore various
options for managing plant cover and
improving habitat conditions for these
two species. The Service will also
pursue acquisition of the remaining
natural lands within Pixley Refuge’s
approved boundary from willing sellers.
The Service will continue to maintain
215 acres of existing riparian habitat at
Kern Refuge by periodically flooding it.
