development of alternatives was also
informed by Service policies regarding
the use of pesticides and the minimum
requirements analysis process under the
Wilderness Act. Three alternatives are
analyzed in the draft EIS:
Alternative 1: No-Action Alternative
Under this alternative, we would not
take any action to eradicate mice from
the South Farallon Islands, maintaining
the status quo. Native species would
continue to be impacted by invasive
mice. However, other ongoing invasive
species management programs on the
South Farallones would continue based
on previous agency decisions. Lowintensity mouse control, primarily snaptrapping, currently occurs within and
around the residences and other
buildings on Southeast Farallon Island.
These localized control efforts would
continue under the no-action
alternative, but the mouse population
on the rest of the South Farallones
would not be subject to control efforts.
Under this alternative, we would also
continue management activities focused
on protecting storm-petrels and their
habitat on the islands, including
invasive plant control and nest habitat
construction. The current biosecurity
measures would likely continue under
this alternative, which could leave the
Farallones at risk of additional
invasions by non-native animal species.

Alternative 2: Eradicate invasive house
mice from the South Farallon Islands by
aerial broadcast of Brodifacoum 25DConservation as the primary method of
bait delivery
Under this alternative, the project area
would be treated with the rodenticide
Brodifacoum 25D Conservation. The
primary delivery of the bait would be
through two aerial applications, with
hand baiting and bait stations as a
secondary means of bait delivery in
selected areas. Bait applications would
be separated by 10 to 21 days. The
applications would take place between
October and December. A
comprehensive gull hazing program
would be implemented as part of the
action to minimize the exposure of gulls
to bait. Mitigation measures in this
alternative include minimizing
activities in wilderness areas, protecting
cultural resources, minimizing wildlife
disturbances, minimizing bait drift into
the marine environment, raptor capture
and hold/relocation, use of bait stations
in certain areas with high numbers of
roosting gulls, and the removal of
carcasses of mice and non-target
species, and covering the water
catchment pad.

Monitoring of operational, mitigation,
and ecosystem restoration objectives
would be conducted before, during, and
after the proposed mouse eradication. In
addition, in order to mitigate the risk of
future rodent reinvasion, a biosecurity
plan would be implemented prior to the
proposed eradication to prevent and
detect future rodent incursions.
Alternative 3: Eradicate invasive house
mice from the South Farallon Islands by
aerial broadcast of Diphacinone D50Conservation as the primary method of
bait delivery
Under this alternative, the project area
would be treated with the rodenticide
Diphacinone D50-Conservation.
Alternative 3 differs from Alternative 2
in the type of rodenticide used for the
proposed eradication and the number of
applications that may be necessary. A
comprehensive gull hazing program
would be implemented to minimize the
exposure of gulls to bait. Alternative 3
would include the same mitigation
measures described under Alternative 2,
as well as the monitoring program and
the biosecurity plan. Under Alternative
3, Diphacinone D50-Conservation
would be broadcast primarily by
helicopter, with some hand baiting and
bait stations used in selected areas.
However, under Alternative 3 we would
need to broadcast a portion of the total
amount of bait required during up to
three or four applications, each
separated by approximately 7 days. The
number of applications will be
determined partly by mouse uptake of
bait and degradation of bait by rainfall.
The bait application would take place
between October and December.
NEPA Compliance
We are conducting environmental
review in accordance with the
requirements of NEPA, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), its implementing
regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508),
other applicable regulations, and our
procedures for compliance with those
regulations. The draft EIS discusses the
direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts
of the alternatives on biological
resources, cultural resources,
wilderness, water quality, and other
environmental resources. Measures to
minimize adverse environmental effects
are identified and discussed in the draft
EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Chartered
in May 2013, the Advisory Committee
on Climate Change and Natural
Resource Science (ACCCNRS) advises
the Secretary of the Interior on the
establishment and operations of the U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) National
Climate Change and Wildlife Science
Center (NCCWSC) and the Department
of the Interior (DOI) Climate Science
Centers (CSCs). ACCCNRS members
represent federal agencies; tribal, state,
and local governments; nongovernment
organizations; academic institutions;
and the private sector. Duties of the
committee include: (A) Advising on the
contents of a national strategy
identifying key science priorities to
advance the management of natural
resources in the face of climate change;
(B) advising on the nature, extent, and
quality of relations with and
engagement of key partners at the
regional/CSC level; (C) advising on the
nature and effectiveness of mechanisms
to ensure the identification of key
priorities from management partners
and to effectively deliver scientific
results in useful forms; (D) advising on
mechanisms that may be employed by
the NCCWSC to ensure high standards
of scientific quality and integrity in its
products, and to review and evaluate
the performance of individual CSCs, in
advance of opportunities to re-establish
expiring agreements; and (E)
coordinating as appropriate with any
Federal Advisory Committee established
for the DOI Landscape Conservation
Cooperatives. More information about
the ACCCNRS is available at https://
nccwsc.usgs.gov/content/advisorycommittee-climate-change-and-naturalresource-science-acccnrs.
Meeting Agenda: The objectives of
this meeting are to: (1) Provide
ACCCNRS Members with a working
understanding of the USGS National
Climate Change and Wildlife Science
Center and the DOI Climate Science
Centers; (2) provide an overview of
other federal climate science services
and programs; (3) review the
Committee’s charge, scope, operating
procedures, and ground rules; (4) review
and solicit Committee input on the
CSCs and NCCWSC approach to science
and stakeholder engagement; and (5)
define an agenda for future Committee
meetings. The final agenda will be
posted on https://nccwsc.usgs.gov/
