The CCP Process
[FWS–R4–R–2008–N0029; 40136–1265–
0000–S3]
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Improvement Act),
which amended the National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966, requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
purpose in developing a CCP is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
strategy for achieving refuge purposes
and contributing to the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System,
consistent with sound principles of fish
and wildlife management, conservation,

legal mandates, and our policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
available to the public, including
opportunities for hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Improvement Act.
Each unit of the National Wildlife
Refuge System is established for specific
purposes. We use these purposes as the
foundation for developing and
prioritizing the management goals and
objectives for each refuge within the
National Wildlife Refuge System
mission, and to determine how the
public can use each refuge. The
planning process is a way for us and the
public to evaluate management goals
and objectives for the best possible
conservation approach to this important
wildlife habitat, while providing for
wildlife-dependent recreation
opportunities that are compatible with
each refuge’s establishing purposes and
the mission of the National Wildlife
Refuge System.
Our CCP process provides
participation opportunities for Tribal,
State, and local governments; agencies;
organizations; and the public. At this
time we encourage input in the form of
issues, concerns, ideas, and suggestions
for the future management of Piedmont
National Wildlife Refuge. Special
mailings, newspaper articles, and other
media outlets will be used to announce
opportunities for input throughout the
planning process.
We will conduct the environmental
assessment in accordance with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as
amended (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
seq.); NEPA regulations (40 CFR parts
1500–1508); other appropriate Federal
laws and regulations; and our policies
and procedures for compliance with
those laws and regulations.
Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge
was established in 1939 as a
‘‘combination wildlife and gamemanagement demonstration area’’ to
demonstrate that wildlife could be
restored on worn out, eroded lands. By
implementing good forest management
practices, the 35,000-acre refuge hosts
loblolly pines on the ridges, with
hardwoods found along creek bottoms
and in scattered upland coves. The
refuge is in central Georgia,
approximately 25 miles north of Macon,
and 18 miles east of Forsyth. The refuge
is primarily forested and provides
