Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 118 / Monday, June 22, 2009 / Notices
As under Alternative A, we would
continue to comply with Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act,
but there would be no additional active
cultural resources management.
Cooperation with the Muscogee Creek
Nation in management and protection of
Traditional Cultural Properties would
continue. Additionally, within 10 years
of CCP approval, a Phase I cultural
resources survey of the refuge would be
implemented, and within 15 years of
CCP approval, the refuge would develop
and begin to implement an Integrated
Cultural Resources Management Plan.
A law enforcement officer would be
added for Bond Swamp NWR, working
2,080 hours per year in boundary work,
public safety, and cultural resources
identification and protection. This
would be in addition to the same tasks
as identified under Alternative A—
patrols, trespass and cultural resources
enforcement, and hunting/fishing
compliance checks.
For the duration of the CCP, we
would cooperate with State and local
government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to
characterize status of refuge waters and
fish species with regard to
environmental contamination issues,
such as presence and levels of toxins.
Fish consumption advisories would be
posted as appropriate. With regard to
hydrologic function, as under
Alternative A, input to the Service’s
Ecological Services Office in Athens,
Georgia, on Section 404 permit
applications would continue to be
provided. Additionally, communication
with the Ecological Services Office
would be improved to provide more
effective input and to safeguard the
refuge’s interests. Partnerships and
funding would be pursued to obtain a
North American Wetland Conservation
Act grant through the ACJV to increase
land acquisition within the refuge
boundary.
Within 3 years of CCP approval, a
Visitor Services Plan would be prepared
and implemented to provide overall
management guidance for public use on
the refuge. We would work with State
and county partners to improve
directional signage, kiosks, and parking
lots. Within the 15-year life of the CCP,
access on the east side would be
improved by working with the Georgia
Department of Transportation and the
Federal Highway Administration to
install turning lanes at entrances,
improve Stone Creek Road, and provide
boat and canoe/kayak access to Stone
Creek. Vehicular access on the west side
of the refuge would be opened by
locating a right-of-way. We also would
work with the Georgia Department of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Natural Resources to locate a boat ramp
along the Ocmulgee River.
The priority public recreational uses
of the National Wildlife Refuge System
would continue at Bond Swamp NWR
under Alternative C. Within 5 years of
settlement of a lawsuit against the
Service, which is now being litigated,
we would maintain or expand existing
hunts and add small game, wild turkey,
and waterfowl hunts. The west side of
the refuge would be opened to hunting,
once access is provided.
Within 3–5 years of CCP approval,
fishing opportunities would be
improved through increased access on
the east and west sides of the refuge. At
primary parking and boat launch areas,
health advisories related to consuming
fish would be posted. We would work
with the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources to consider methods for
controlling flathead catfish.
Within 10 years of CCP approval, a
canoe trail on Stone Creek would be
developed, the viewshed at the Brown’s
Mount overlook would be improved,
and a boardwalk along Stone Creek
would be developed.
In cooperation with partners, an
educational program would be
developed and implemented that would
provide an understanding and
appreciation of the refuge’s ecology and
historic and present human influence
on the region’s ecosystems. A full-time
park ranger would be added to manage
the program. We would identify
potential outreach events and decide
which could provide the greatest return
on investment, limiting participation to
those events only. As time allows,
programs would be presented to local
groups (e.g., civic, library, garden clubs,
and schools).
The refuge operations specialist and
park ranger would be reinstated; a law
enforcement officer, a forestry
technician, and an engineering
equipment operator would be added. In
addition to partnerships with the
Georgia Department of Natural
Resources, the Georgia Forestry
Commission, and the Muscogee Creek
Nation, as under Alternative A, we
would actively participate with local
partnerships in resource conservation
and land planning, such as Ocmulgee
Heritage Greenway, and cooperate with
non-governmental organizations and
other organizations. Within 15 years of
CCP approval, we would plan and
construct an office and maintenance
yard east of State Route 23. Equipment,
such as a tractor, backhoe, 5 trucks, a
johnboat with motor, 1 four-wheeler,
and trailer, would be acquired.
