Bond Swamp NWR is in Bibb and
Twiggs Counties, Georgia, about 6 miles
south of the city of Macon, Georgia. The
refuge covers a total of 7,348 acres
within the 18,000-acre acquisition
boundary and is situated along the
Ocmulgee River. The refuge has a
diversity of vegetation communities,
including upland mixed pine/
hardwood, bottomland hardwood, and
tupelo gum swamp forests. Creeks,
beaver swamps, and oxbow lakes
traverse the forested wetlands.
Annually, 8,000 to 10,000 visitors
participate in refuge activities.
We announce our decision and the
availability of the final CCP and FONSI
for Bond Swamp NWR in accordance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) [40 CFR 1506.6(b)]
requirements. We completed a thorough
analysis of impacts on the human
environment, which we included in the
draft comprehensive conservation plan
and environmental assessment (Draft
CCP/EA). The CCP will guide us in
managing and administering Bond
Swamp NWR for the next 15 years.
The compatibility determinations for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation/
photography, environmental education/
interpretation, boating, firewood
cutting, forest management, off-road
vehicle use (disabled persons only),
resource research studies, and walking/
jogging/bicycling are also available in
the CCP

Background
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Administration Act), as
amended by the National Wildlife
Refuge System Improvement Act of
1997, requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
purpose for 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
Administration Act.

Comments
Approximately 60 copies of the Draft
CCP/EA were made available for a 30day public review period as announced
in the Federal Register on June 22, 2009
(74 FR 29511). A total of 61 comments
were received from state and local
government agencies, non-governmental
organizations, and local citizens.
Selected Alternative
After considering the comments we
received, and based on the sound
professional judgment of the planning
team, we selected Alternative C to
implement the CCP. This alternative
will emphasize biological and visitor
services programs on the refuge, which
will be protected, maintained, and
enhanced by adding more staff,
equipment, and facilities. This
management alternative will restore and
manage the forested wetlands and
associated uplands in support of
wildlife, especially waterfowl,
neotropical migratory birds, and other
native wildlife. We considered this
alternative to be the most effective for
meeting the purposes of the refuge.
Alternative C best achieves national,
ecosystem, and refuge-specific goals and
objectives and positively addresses
significant issues and concerns
expressed by the public.
