SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Abstract
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd-668ee), as amended by the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, and the
Refuge Recreation Act of 1962 (16
U.S.C. 460k-460k-4) govern the
administration and uses of national
wildlife refuges and wetland
management districts. We are
authorized to permit public uses on
lands of the National Wildlife Refuge
System, including hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, and environmental
education and interpretation, and other
visitor uses when we find that the
activities are compatible and
appropriate with the purpose or
purposes for which the refuges were
established.
We collect information on hunters
and anglers and other visitors in order
to protect refuge resources and
administer and evaluate the success of
visitor programs. Because of high
demand and limited resources, we often
provide visitor opportunities by permit,
based on dates, locations, or type of
public use. We may not allow all
opportunities on all refuges and harvest
information differs on each refuge.
Therefore, we are proposing two forms
to collect this information. Not all
PO 00000
Frm 00100
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
refuges will use each form and some
refuges may collect the information in a
nonform format. We propose to collect:
• Information on the visitor (name,
address, and contact information).
• Whether or not hunters/anglers were
successful (number and type of harvest/
caught).
• Purpose of visit (hunting, fishing,
wildlife observation, wildlife
photography, auto touring, birding,
hiking, boating/canoeing, visitor center,
special event, environmental education
class, volunteering, other recreation).
• Date of visit.
This information will be a vital tool in
meeting refuge objectives and
maintaining quality visitor experiences.
The above information will help us:
• Administer and monitor visitor
programs and facilities on refuges.
• Distribute visitor permits to ensure
safety of visitors.
• Ensure a quality visitor experience.
• Minimize resource disturbance,
manage healthy game populations, and
ensure the protection of fish and
wildlife species.
• Assist in Statewide wildlife
management and enforcement and
develop reliable estimates of the number
of all game fish and wildlife.
• Determine facility and program
needs and budgets.

and the Sacramento Area Flood Control
Agency (SAFCA), the CEQA lead
agency, have prepared a Final
Supplemental EIS/EIR for the MIAD
Modification Project. The Final
Supplemental EIS/EIR contains
responses to comments received on the
Draft Supplemental EIS/EIR.
A Notice of Availability of the Draft
Supplemental EIS/EIR was published in
the Federal Register on Friday,
November 27, 2009 (74 FR 62346). The
public review period on the Draft
Supplemental EIS/EIR ended on January
18, 2010.
The MIAD Modification Project is a
feature of the larger Folsom Dam Safety/
Flood Damage Reduction (DS/FDR)
Project currently underway by
Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), and the Corps’ nonFederal sponsors, the Central Valley
Flood Protection Board and SAFCA, to
address hydrologic, static, and seismic
issues at Folsom Dam and Reservoir.
The analysis in the Folsom DS/FDR EIS/
EIR considered several methods to
modify MIAD to achieve Reclamation’s
risk standards for dam safety.
Subsequent investigations have shown
that the preferred alternative’s design
approaches and construction techniques
need to be changed to achieve
Reclamation’s existing risk standards for
dam safety. Specifically, the utilization
of jet grouting to stabilize the
foundation of MIAD will not meet
Reclamation’s dam safety standards.
The MIAD Supplemental EIS/EIR
analyzes additional techniques to
stabilize the MIAD foundation to meet
the existing risk standards for dam
safety.
Additionally, the supplement
addresses potential environmental
effects associated with completing
mitigation for the Folsom DS/FDR
Project at the Mississippi Bar site. The
two mitigation alternatives include the
improvement of up to 80 acres of
seasonal wetland and riparian habitat
and the no action alternative. The
environmental effects of the mitigation
were not addressed in the previous
environmental document as the location
for mitigation had not been determined.
DATES: SAFCA will complete a CEQA
Findings on the Final Supplemental
EIS/EIR within 30 days of the
document’s release. No Federal decision
will be made until 30 days after the

Reclamation will complete a Record of

modifications. A second ROD is
anticipated for the habitat mitigation
actions at Mississippi Bar. The RODs
and CEQA Findings will identify the
recommended action to be
implemented, including any measures
found necessary to avoid, reduce, or
mitigate any significant adverse project
effects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Folsom Facility consists of 12 structures
(dams and dikes), that impound the
American River forming Folsom
Reservoir. As part of their
responsibilities, Reclamation and the
Corps have determined that the Folsom
Facility requires structural
improvements to increase overall public
safety above existing conditions
including addressing dam safety and
security issues. Both Reclamation and
the Corps share in the responsibility of
ensuring that the Folsom Facility is
maintained and operated under their
respective agency dam safety
regulations and guidelines, as defined
by Congress. The improvements will
enhance the facility’s ability to reduce
flood damages posed by hydrologic
(flood), seismic (earthquake), and static
(seepage) events. These events have a
low probability of occurrence in a given
year; however, due to the large
population downstream of Folsom Dam,
modifying the facilities is prudent and
necessary to improve public safety
above current baseline conditions and
meet current safety standards.
