identified and discussed in the final
CCP/EIS.
Background
Alexandra Pitts,
Acting Regional Director, Pacific Southwest
Region, Sacramento, California.
The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee), which amended the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966, requires the
Service to develop a CCP for each
national wildlife refuge. The purpose in
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 also evaluate the
potential for providing wildlifedependent recreational opportunities to
the public, including opportunities for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will
review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Improvement Act.
Klamath Basin Refuges
The Klamath Basin Refuges consist of
a variety of habitats, including
freshwater marshes, open water, grassy
meadows, coniferous forests, sagebrush
and juniper grasslands, agricultural
lands, and rocky cliffs and slopes. These
habitats support diverse and abundant
populations of resident and migratory
wildlife, with 433 species having been
observed on or near the Refuges. In
addition, each year the Refuges serve as
a migratory stopover for about threequarters of the Pacific Flyway
waterfowl, with peak fall concentrations
of over 1 million birds.

regulations. The final EIS discusses the
direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts
of the alternatives on biological
resources, cultural resources, water
quality, and other environmental
resources. Measures to minimize
