Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 138 / Thursday, July 17, 2008 / Notices
EA identified and evaluated three
alternatives for managing the Refuges
for the next 15 years. Under Alternative
A, the No Action alternative, the Service
would manage habitats, wildlife,
programs, and facilities at current levels
as time, staff, and funds allow. Refuge
habitats would continue to be managed
on a minimal basis and opportunistic
schedule that may maintain, or most
likely would result in decline in, the
diversity of vegetation and water quality
and quantity in the wetlands. The
Service would not develop any new
management, restoration, or education
programs at the Refuges.
Alternative B, the Proposed Action,
would increase management activities
on the Refuges. Upland habitats would
be evaluated and managed for the
benefit of migratory bird species.
Monitoring and management of invasive
species on the Refuges would be
increased. With additional staffing, the
Service would collect in-depth baseline
data for wildlife and habitats. Efforts
would be increased in the operations
and maintenance of natural resources on
the Refuges and to maintain and
develop partnerships that promote
wildlife and habitat research and
management. An emphasis on adaptive
management, including monitoring the
effects of habitat management practices
and use of the research results to direct
ongoing management, would be a
priority.
Under alternative C, Refuge staff
would rely on partnerships to achieve
Refuge goals and objectives. Refuge
management activities would be
increased and enhanced through the use
of partnerships. Refuge staff would
strive to accomplish Refuge work
through partnerships with others. An
emphasis on adaptive management,
including monitoring the effects of
habitat management practices and use of
the research results to direct ongoing
management, would be a priority.
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.
