DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Central Valley Project Improvement 

Act, Criteria for Developing Refuge 

Water Management Plans 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The ‘‘Criteria for Developing 

Refuge Water Management Plans’’ 

(Refuge Criteria) are now available for 

public comment. The Refuge Criteria 

provide a common methodology, or 

standard, for efficient use of water by 

Federal Wildlife Refuges, State Wildlife 

Management Areas and Resource 

Conservation Districts that receive water 

under provisions of the Central Valley 

Project Improvement Act (CVPIA). They 

document the process and format by 

which Refuge Water Management Plans 

(Plans) should be prepared and 

submitted to Reclamation as part of the 

Refuge/District Water Supply Contracts 

and Memoranda of Agreement. The 

Refuge Criteria refer to Refuges, Wildlife 

Areas, and Resource Conservation 

Districts as Refuges. Those Refuges that 

entered into water supply contracts with 

Reclamation as a result of the CVPIA 

and subsequent Department of the 

Interior administrative review processes 

are required to prepare Plans using the 

Refuge Criteria. 

DATES: Submit written comments by 

December 15, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Please mail comments to 

Ms. Christy Ritenour, Bureau of 

Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

response to the Central Valley Project 

Improvement Act of 1992 and a 1995 

Department of the Interior 

administrative review process, the 

Interagency Coordinated Program for 

Wetland and Water Use Planning (ICP) 

was formed. The ICP was comprised of 

representatives from the Bureau of 

Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, the California Department of 

Fish and Game, and the Grassland 

Resource Conservation District. The ICP 

developed the 1998 Task Force Report, 

which outlines past, present, and future 

wetland planning and management 

issues and a methodology for Refuge 

Criteria. To continue the work of the 

now disbanded ICP, an Interagency 

Refuge Water Management Team 

(IRWMT) was formed composed of the 

same agencies to continue working on 

wetland issues such as water delivery, 

including additional work on wetland 

Refuge Criteria. The IRWMT used the 

1998 Task Force Report and

water conservation specialists, 

engineers, the CALFED Bay-Delta
