Refuges, be divested. These Refuges
include Bone Hill, Camp Lake,
Cottonwood Lake, Lake Patricia,
Sheyenne Lake, and School Section
Lake. This divestiture decision was
based on the best available science and
expert opinions, both by managers and
biologists within the Service. This
information was then evaluated by a
divestiture model developed by a
regional team. These six, for various
reasons, were finally proposed for
divestiture consideration. The
justifications included State or other
Federal agency ownership of the lands,
extensive habitat loss, or lack of
desirable habitat that would warrant
such federal protection. This is the first
step in the divestiture process.
Implementation will require a proposal
that will be sent to the Migratory Bird
Conservation Commission for
concurrence and then to Congress. No
Refuge will be divested until an Act of
Congress is signed. The remaining 33
Refuges will be managed in cooperation
with the current landowners. At a
minimum, landowners will receive an
annual newsletter describing
opportunities for receiving additional
compensation for added habitat
protection. These Refuges will be given
priority for such programs as grassland
and wetland easements, while the
Service actively works with other
conservation partners on mutual
interests on these Refuges. These lands
will also be given additional
consideration as projects are submitted
for land acquisition dollars available to
the region. In order to implement this
part of the CCP, the managing stations
will first prioritize their individual
Refuges by developing a greater
understanding of the habitat types that
occur and which types need added
protection. The CCP states that highest
priority will be given to native prairie
habitat on all Refuges.
Under the preferred alternative, the
Service will post all boundaries with a
unique sign that will identify these
refuges as private lands. As part of
implementation, compatibility
determinations (CD) will be completed
for all proposed Service-controlled
activities that occur on the uplands and
water. These CDs could not be
completed as part of the Final CCP. A
significant part of implementation will
be to work with over 200 landowners to
determine their willingness to grant
access for public use as the Service
never acquired the right to control
public access. Until the Service has
worked out these negotiations, no CD
can be completed. The Service will
work with the State and willing

landowners to determine if any
additional public use opportunities are
available including hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, environmental education
and interpretation. Trapping will
continue on a permit-only basis for the
purposes of protecting nesting migratory
birds (including waterfowl and
songbirds) and increase survival rates of
young birds. Trappers will be required
to provide annual reports of harvest and
follow State regulations.
The Service is furnishing this notice
to advise other agencies and the public
of the availability of the Final CCP, to
provide information on the desired
conditions for the North Dakota
Limited-interest Refuges, and to detail
how the Service will implement
management strategies. Based on the
review and evaluation of the
information contained in the
environmental assessment, the Regional
Director has determined that
implementation of the Final CCP does
not constitute a major Federal action
that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment
within the meaning of Section 102(2)(c)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act. Therefore, an Environmental
Impact Statement will not be prepared.
Future site-specific proposals discussed
in the Final CCP will be addressed in
separate planning efforts with full
public involvement.
