SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process for Rappahannock River Valley
NWR, which was started with the notice
of intent we published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 65931) on November 1,
2005. We prepared the draft CCP in
compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997. This refuge is
the newest of the four refuges that
comprise the Eastern Virginia Rivers
NWR Complex. The other three are the
James River, Plum Tree Island, and
Presquile NWRs.
Rappahannock River Valley NWR,
currently 7,711 acres, was established in
1996 to conserve and protect fish and
wildlife resources, including
endangered and threatened species, and
wetlands. Refuge habitats include
freshwater tidal marsh, forested swamp,
upland deciduous forest, mixed pine
forest, and managed grassland. Two
Federally listed species are found on the
refuge, the endangered shortnose
sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and
threatened Sensitive joint-vetch
(Aeschynomene virginica). The State of
Virginia’s largest wintering population
of bald eagles is located within the
refuge boundary. Neotropical migratory
songbirds, shorebirds, raptors, and
marsh birds also rely on the
Rappahannock River corridor during
