SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process at Bear Lake NWR and Oxford
Slough WPA. We started this process
through a notice in the Federal Register
(75 FR 35829; June 23, 2010).
Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Bear Lake NWR was established in
1968 and is located in Bear Lake
County, near the community of
Montpelier, in southeast Idaho. The
Refuge lies in Bear Lake Valley at
approximately 5,925 feet in elevation in
the historic location of Dingle Swamp.
The Thomas Fork Unit is a 1,015-acre
tract of land managed by the Refuge and
situated at an elevation of 6,060 feet,
approximately 20 miles east of
Montpelier, Idaho, along U.S. Hwy. 30,
near Border, Wyoming. The Unit’s
eastern boundary is the Wyoming State
line. It contains upland and wet
meadows used by sandhill cranes, and
stream habitat important to the
conservation of Bonneville cutthroat
trout.
The Refuge is composed of a 16,000acre emergent marsh, 1,200 acres of
uplands, 550 acres of wet meadows, and
5 miles of riparian streams.
Approximately 100 species of migratory
birds nest at Bear Lake NWR, including
large concentrations of colonial
waterbirds, and many other species of
wildlife utilize the Refuge during
various periods of the year. In the early
1900s, the Telluride Canal Company
substantially modified the natural
hydrology of the former Dingle Swamp
by diverting Bear River to flow into Bear
Lake for irrigation storage. The indirect
effects were numerous and significantly
altered the hydrology and ecological
processes of the Bear Lake Watershed.
Oxford Slough Waterfowl Production
Area
Oxford Slough is the only waterfowl
production area in the Service’s Pacific
Northwest region. It is located 10 miles
north of Preston, Idaho, abutting the
small town of Oxford in the Cache
Valley. Oxford Slough is the drainage
for Oxford and Deep Creeks, as well as
other streams and creeks in the
surrounding mountain ranges. Oxford
Slough WPA provides valuable foraging
habitat for species such as cranes, geese,
