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, 

environmental education and 

interpretation. 

We initiated the CCP/EA for the 

Klamath Marsh National Wildlife 

Refuge in February 2007. At that time 

and throughout the process, we 

requested, considered, and incorporated 

public scoping comments in numerous 

ways. Our public outreach has included 

a Federal Register notice of intent 

published on January 29, 2007, agency 

and Tribal scoping meetings, two public 

workshops, planning updates, and a 

CCP Web page. We received over 180 

scoping comments during the 60-day 

public comment period. 

Background 

Klamath Marsh was established in 

1958 and is located in south central 

Oregon on the east slope of the Cascade 

Mountain Range along the Williamson 

River. The Service owns approximately 

40,960 acres within the 49,583-acre 

acquisition boundary. The Refuge 

protects one of the largest remaining 

natural freshwater marshes on the west 

coast. Other important habitats on the 

refuge include sedge meadow, 

grassland, riverine, riparian scrub, and 

ponderosa pine forest. The refuge 

protects habitat for a variety of unique 

species including greater sandhill 

cranes, yellow rails, Oregon spotted 

frogs, red-naped sapsuckers, pygmy 

nuthatches, bald eagles, beaver, and red 

band trout. The entire Refuge is located 

within the former reservation of the 

Klamath Tribes. 

Alternatives 

The Draft CCP/EA identifies and 

evaluates three alternatives for 

managing Klamath Marsh National 

Wildlife Refuge for the next 15 years. 

The alternative that appears to best meet 

the Refuge purposes is identified as the 

preferred alternative. The preferred 

alternative is identified based on the 

analysis presented in the Draft CCP/EA, 

which may be modified following the 

completion of the public comment 

period based on comments received 

from other agencies, Tribal 

governments, non-governmental 

organizations, or individuals. 

Under Alternative A, the no action 

alternative, we would continue to 

manage the Refuge as we have in the 

recent past. No major changes in habitat 

management would occur. The existing 

wildlife observation, photography, 

environmental education, and 

interpretation programs would remain 

unchanged. 

Under Alternative B, (preferred 

alternative), the Service would restore 

the portion of the Williamson River and 

Big Spring Creek on the Refuge; 

substantially improve management of 

emergent marsh, meadows, ponderosa 

pine forest and aspen to increase habitat 

value for migratory birds and other 

wildlife; improve and expand visitor 

services by developing new trails, 

interpretive exhibits, an environmental 

education program, and a visitor contact 

station; maintain existing hunting and 

fishing programs with minor 

modifications; increase cultural 

resources protection; and recommend 

no units for wilderness designation. The 

Service would also revise and update 

the MOU with the Klamath Tribes 

regarding subsistence hunting and 

gathering. 

Under Alternative C, the Service 

would restore the portions of the 

Williamson River and Big Springs Creek 

on the Refuge; improve management of 

emergent marsh, meadows, ponderosa 

pine forest and aspen using a more 

limited tool set (fire only for nonforested areas); minimally expand 

opportunities for non-consumptive 

public uses; eliminate public hunting; 

increase cultural resource protection; 

and recommend 11,165 acres for 

wilderness designation. The Service 

would also revise and update the MOU 

with the Tribes regarding subsistence 

hunting and gathering. 

Public Meetings 

The locations, dates, and times of 

public meetings will be listed in a 

planning update distributed to the 

project mailing list and posted on the 

Refuge Web site at http://www.fws.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent 

with section 9(f) of the Reclamation 

Project Act of 1939 and the rules and 

regulations published in 52 FR 11954, 

April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), 

Reclamation will publish notice of 

proposed or amendatory contract 

actions for any contract for the delivery 

of project water for authorized uses in 

newspapers of general circulation in the 

affected area at least 60 days prior to 

contract execution. Announcements 

may be in the form of news releases, 

legal notices, official letters, 

memorandums, or other forms of 

written material. Meetings, workshops, 

and/or hearings may also be used, as 

appropriate, to provide local publicity. 

The public participation procedures do 

not apply to proposed contracts for the 

sale of surplus or interim irrigation 

water for a term of 1 year or less. Either 

of the contracting parties may invite the 

public to observe contract proceedings. 

All public participation procedures will 

be coordinated with those involved in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to 

the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation 

Procedures’’ for water resource-related 

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. When contract negotiations are 

completed, and prior to execution, each 

proposed contract form must be 

approved by the Secretary of the 

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or 

redelegated authority, the Commissioner 

of Reclamation or one of the regional 

directors. In some instances, 

congressional review and approval of a 

report, water rate, or other terms and 

conditions of the contract may be 

involved. 

Public participation in and receipt of 

comments on contract proposals will be 

facilitated by adherence to the following 

procedures: 

1. Only persons authorized to act on 

behalf of the contracting entities may 

negotiate the terms and conditions of a 

specific contract proposal. 

2. Advance notice of meetings or 

hearings will be furnished to those 

parties that have made a timely written 

request for such notice to the 

appropriate regional or project office of 

Reclamation. 

3. Written correspondence regarding 

proposed contracts may be made 

available to the general public pursuant 

to the terms and procedures of the 

Freedom of Information Act, as 

amended. 

4. Written comments on a proposed 

contract or contract action must be 

submitted to the appropriate regional 

officials at the locations and within the 

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices. 

5. All written comments received and 

testimony presented at any public 

hearings will be reviewed and 

summarized by the appropriate regional 

office for use by the contract approving 

authority. 

6. Copies of specific proposed 

contracts may be obtained from the 

appropriate regional director or his 

designated public contact as they 

become available for review and 

comment. 

7. In the event modifications are made 

in the form of a proposed contract, the 

appropriate regional director shall 

determine whether republication of the 

notice and/or extension of the comment 

period is necessary. 

Factors considered in making such a 

determination shall include, but are not 

limited to (i) the significance of the 

modification, and (ii) the degree of 

public interest which has been 

expressed over the course of the 

negotiations. At a minimum, the 

regional director shall furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice.
