SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Ellicott Slough National Wildlife 

Refuge was established in 1975 under 

the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), and 

the Emergency Wetlands Resources Act 

of 1986 (16 U.S.C. 3901–3932). The 

nearly 300-acre Ellicott Slough National 

Wildlife Refuge, located in Santa Cruz 

County, California, consists of three 

noncontiguous units within the 

Watsonville Slough System. The Refuge 

was established to protect the 

endangered Santa Cruz long-toed 

salamander, and currently supports 2 of 

the 20 known breeding populations of 

the salamander. 

We announce our decision and the 

availability of the FONSI for the final 

CCP for Ellicott Slough in accordance 

with 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 

EA that accompanied the draft CCP. 

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 and photography, 

and environmental education and 

interpretation. We will review and 

update the CCP at least every 15 years 

in accordance with the Administration 

Act. 

Our Draft CCP and Environmental 

Assessment (EA) were available for a 30- 

day public review and comment period, 

which we announced via several 

methods, including press releases, 

updates to constituents, and a Federal 

Register notice (75 FR 44806, July 29, 

2010). The Draft CCP/EA identified and 

evaluated three alternatives for 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
13428 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 48 / Friday, March 11, 2011 / Notices 

managing the Refuge for the next 15 

years. 

Under Alternative A (No Action), 

management would continue 

unchanged. Alternative B (the Selected 

Alternative) would standardize the 

wildlife monitoring and surveying 

program; develop a habitat management 

plan including an adaptive vegetation 

management plan; assess contaminants 

and disease; pursue climate change 

modeling; identify additional habitat for 

boundary expansion; continue planning 

and redesign of a breeding pond; assess 

the need and plan for new breeding 

ponds; develop habitat, mosquito, and 

water management plans, and a visitor 

services plan; improve energy 

efficiency; develop a trail system; 

expand the in-class environmental 

education program to other schools; and 

expand on-site restoration education. 

Alternative C includes all actions in 

Alternative B, and would expand 

natural resource surveys, expand 

control of additional priority invasive 

vegetation, identify buffer habitat for 

boundary expansion and acquisition, 

remove invasive wildlife, reintroduce 

native plants historically found on the 

Refuge, improve trail access, and 

improve outreach to the community. 

We received 10 letters on the Draft 

CCP and EA during the review and 

comment period. Comments focused on 

mosquito control and listed species 

management. We incorporated 

comments we received into the CCP 

when appropriate, and we responded to 

the comments in an appendix to the 

CCP. In the FONSI, we selected 

Alternative B for implementation. The 

FONSI documents our decision and is 

based on the information and analysis 

contained in the EA. 

Under the selected alternative, the 

Refuge will achieve an optimal balance 

of biological resource objectives and 

visitor services opportunities. Habitat 

management and associated biological 

resource monitoring will be improved. 

Visitor service opportunities will focus 

on quality wildlife-dependent recreation 

with expanded environmental 

education opportunities. In addition, 

interpretation, wildlife observation, and 

photography programs will be improved 

and/or expanded. 

The selected alternative best meets 

the Refuges’ purposes, vision, and goals; 

contributes to the Refuge System 

mission; addresses the significant issues 

and relevant mandates; and is consistent 

with principles of sound fish and 

wildlife management. Based on the 

associated environmental assessment, 

this alternative is not expected to result 

in significant environmental impacts 

and therefore does not require an 

environmental impact statement.
