Lake in Utah County, Utah, to assist
recovery of the endangered June sucker
fish (Chasmistes liorus). This project has
been planned in cooperation with the
June Sucker Recovery Implementation
Program (JSRIP).
A Proposed Action and No Action
Alternative are evaluated in the DEA.
Under the Proposed Action,
approximately the last one mile of
Hobble Creek, where it enters Utah
Lake, will be relocated onto property
owned by the State of Utah. The project
will improve the hydrology of the
stream, open the upper reaches of
Hobble Creek to spawning June sucker,
which currently exist in Utah Lake. As
part of the project, adjacent wetlands
and connecting side channels will be
constructed on the property to create
backwater habitat for survival and
rearing of larval stages of June sucker
produced in the creek. After
construction, the project lands would be
managed by the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources for protection of
wetlands and conservation of the June
sucker. The Utah Transit Authority,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Eufaula National Wildlife
Refuge. We started the process through
a notice in the Federal Register on
January 26, 2006 (71 FR 4373).
Background
The CCP Process
BILLING CODE 4310–RK–P
VerDate Aug<31>2005
EA, we describe the alternative we
propose to use to manage this refuge for
the 15 years following approval of the
Final CCP.
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), 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 plan for
achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward 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 and NEPA.

CCP Alternatives, Including Our
Proposed Alternative
We developed four alternatives for
managing the refuge and chose
Alternative D as the proposed
alternative. Each alternative would
pursue the same four broad refuge goals.
These goals are: (1) Wildlife; (2) habitat;
(3) public use; and (4) refuge
administration.
Alternatives
A full description of each alternative
is in the Draft CCP/EA. We summarize
each alternative below.
Alternative A—Current Management
(No Action)
In general, Alternative A would
maintain current management direction,
that is, the refuge’s habitats and wildlife
populations would continue to be
managed as they have in recent years.
Public use patterns would remain
relatively unchanged from those that
exist at present.
We would conserve, protect, and
enhance native wildlife populations
representative of the middle
Chattahoochee River Valley, including
waterfowl, other migratory birds, and
threatened and endangered species.
We would provide a complex of
habitats, both moist-soil and grain
crops, to meet the foraging needs of
15,000 wintering ducks. This would
assist the North American Waterfowl
Management Plan in meeting its goals.
We would also provide adequate open
space (upland crop fields) for winter
utilization and feeding of at least 350
geese and cranes. In addition, staff and/
or volunteers would maintain 100 wood
duck boxes on the refuge.
We would continue forest
management at current levels and
intensity. We would maintain 175 acres
of grassland habitat for the benefit of
grassland birds. In addition, we would
use various tools to maintain tall
emergent vegetation sufficient to
support a population of 10 king rails
and to benefit other species of marsh
birds.
For the benefit of wading birds,
known rookeries would be protected but
there would be no active management of
foraging habitat for herons and egrets.
Likewise, no active management for
shorebirds would take place. However,
we would provide protective
conservation measures for Federal or
State listed species and habitats for
future ecological existence.
We would employ sound scientific
principles to manage healthy
populations of resident wildlife species.
We would control domestic, feral, or
