and development of educational
programs.
Alternative C, the Proposed Action,
would include those features described
in Alternative B, as well as including a
plan to improve the water quality
entering the Refuge, and reducing peak
flows in the upper James River
watershed during spring runoff and
summer rainfall events. This watershed
management component would include
working with private landowners
through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife
program and other federal, state, and
private conservation programs. The
focus would be to protect and restore
wetlands and grasslands, and reduce the
impact on water quality from cropland
and livestock operations. Improving the
health of the upper James River
watershed would not only benefit
wildlife habitat in the watershed and at
the Refuge, it would also benefit the
Jamestown Reservoir and all
downstream users.
The Service is furnishing this notice
to advise other agencies and the public
of the availability of the final Plan, to
provide information on the desired
conditions for the refuges, and to detail
how the Service will implement
management strategies. Based on the
review and evaluation of the
information contained in the EA, the
Regional Director has determined that
implementation of the Final Plan 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.
Dated: February 26, 2008.

Acting Regional Director.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document provides notice that the BLM

to revise an RMP and prepare an
associated EIS for the BLM managed
public lands and interests within the

National Monument. This document

The planning area is located in
Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, San Luis

Ventura Counties in California. This
planning area encompasses
approximately 400,000 acres of public
land and an additional 450,000 acres of
federal mineral estate. The plan will
fulfill the needs and obligations set forth
by the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), the Federal Land Policy

BLM management policies. The BLM
will work collaboratively with
interested parties to identify the
management decisions that are best
suited to local, regional, and national
needs and concerns.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis and EIS
alternatives. These issues also guide the
planning process. You may submit
