SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Introduction
Fish and Wildlife Service
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Red River National Wildlife
Refuge. We started the process through
a notice in the Federal Register on
March 13, 2006 (71 FR 12710).
The Red River National Wildlife
Refuge is a unit of the North Louisiana
National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The
refuge was signed into existence on
October 13, 2000, with the passage of
the Red River National Wildlife Refuge
Act. With land acquisition, the refuge
was formally established in August
2002. There are three purposes of the
refuge, as stated in the Red River
National Wildlife Refuge Act. These are
to: (1) Provide for the restoration and
conservation of native plants and
animal communities on suitable sites in
the Red River basin, including
restoration of extirpated species; (2)
provide habitat for migratory birds; and
(3) provide technical assistance to
private landowners in the restoration of
their lands for the benefit of fish and
wildlife.
According to legislation, the refuge is
approved for up to approximately
50,000 acres of Federal lands and waters
along that section of the Red River
between Colfax, Louisiana, and the
Arkansas State line, a distance of
approximately 120 miles. The refuge
growth will be strategically planned
within five focus areas that will each
have a management unit of the Red
River National Wildlife Refuge. These
focus areas are: Lower Cane River
(Natchitoches Parish); Spanish Lake
Lowlands (Natchitoches Parish); Bayou
Pierre Floodplain (Desoto and Red River

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), announce the
availability of a draft comprehensive
conservation plan and environmental
assessment (Draft CCP/EA) for Red River
National Wildlife Refuge for public
review and comment. In this Draft CCP/
EA, we describe the alternative we
propose to use to manage this refuge for
the 15 years following approval of the
Final CCP.
DATES: To ensure consideration, we
must receive your written comments by
May 14, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the
Draft CCP/EA should be addressed to:

Parishes); Headquarters Site (Bossier
Parish); and Wardview (Caddo Parish).
Currently, the Service has acquired
9,787 acres, with 40,213 acres remaining
to be purchased. The lands within the
five areas will be acquired through a
combination of fee title purchases from
willing sellers and conservation
easements, leases, and/or cooperative
agreements from willing landowners.
Currently, fee title lands have been
purchased within portions of all the
focus areas, with the exception of
Wardview.
Historically, the Red River Valley was
forested with bottomland hardwoods,
cypress sloughs, and shrub swamps;
however, for the last three decades, the
Red River Valley has been utilized
extensively for agricultural production,
and, as a result, has lost almost all of its
forest cover. The river itself was very
turbid, and its wildlife and fishery
habitat was poor compared to other
parts of the State. After completion of
the Red River Waterway Project in 1994,
water levels in the river became higher
and more constant, greatly reducing its
turbidity. Water quality improved and
with seasonal retention of water levels,
a rich diversity of aquatic flora and
fauna has developed.
Increased water levels on the river
also improved some adjacent habitats.
Flooded timber and farm fields with wet
depressions are now common,
providing habitat for migratory birds.
The refuge has been involved in several
reforestation projects and has improved
moist-soil habitat. With management of
this refuge in its infancy, the planning
process will define priorities for current
and future refuge resources and
management.
Wildlife species found on the refuge
are typical of forested wetlands and
fields. The Red River is a historic
migration corridor for migratory birds
