DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Availability of the Final Comprehensive 

Conservation Plan and Environmental 

Impact Statement for Rocky Flats 

National Wildlife Refuge

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service) announces that the 

Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan 

and Environmental Impact Statement 

(Final CCP/EIS) for the Rocky Flats 

National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) is 

available. This Final CCP/EIS was 

prepared pursuant to the National 

Wildlife Refuge System Administration 

Act, as amended, and the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

Final CCP/EIS describes the Service’s 

proposal for management of the Refuge 

for 15 years, beginning at Refuge 

establishment, which is anticipated to 

occur sometime between 2006 and 2008. 

Four alternatives for management of the 

Refuge are considered in the CCP/EIS.

DATES: A Record of Decision will be 

signed no sooner than 30 days after 

publication of this notice.

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of the 

Final CCP/EIS, contact Laurie Shannon, 

Planning Team Leader, Rocky Flats 

National Wildlife Refuge, Rocky 

Mountain Arsenal—Building 121, 

Commerce City, Colorado 80222. 

Additionally, copies of the Final CCP/

EIS may be downloaded from the 

project Web site: http://

rockyflats.fws.gov. The Final CCP/EIS 

will be available for reading at the 

following main branch libraries: Arvada 

Public Library, Boulder Public Library, 

Daniels Library, Golden Public Library,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 6,240-

acre Rocky Flats National Wildlife 

Refuge site is in northern Jefferson 

County and southern Boulder County, 

Colorado. The Rocky Flats site was used 

as a nuclear weapons production facility 

until 1992, when the mission of Rocky 

Flats changed to environmental cleanup 

and closure. The majority of the site has 

remained undisturbed for over 50 years 

and provides habitat for many wildlife 

species, including the federally 

threatened Preble’s meadow jumping 

mouse, and several rare plant 

communities. Under the Rocky Flats 

National Wildlife Refuge Act of 2001, 

most of the site will become a National 

Wildlife Refuge once cleanup and 

closure has been completed. The Refuge 

will likely be established sometime 

between 2006 and 2008. 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge 

Improvement Act of 1997, requires the 

Service to develop a CCP for the Refuge. 

The purpose in developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

strategy for achieving refuge purposes 

and contributing toward the mission of 

the National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife science, conservation, legal 

mandates, and Service policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, the CCP identifies 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities available to the public, 

including opportunities for hunting, 

wildlife observation and photography, 

and environmental education and 

interpretation. The CCP is intended to 

be a dynamic document that will be 

adaptable to changing resource and 

management conditions. 

Significant issues addressed in the 

Final CCP/EIS include: Vegetation 

management, wildlife management, 

public use, cultural resources, property, 

infrastructure, and refuge operations. 

The Service developed four alternatives 

for management of the Refuge: 

Alternative A—No Action; Alternative 

B—Wildlife, Habitat, and Public Use; 

Alternative C—Ecological Restoration; 

and Alternative D—Public Use. All four 

alternatives outline specific
