alternative would also include a 

substantial expansion in visitor services 

over Alternative A, including a new 

environmental education program, 

improved roads, a new auto tour route, 

and new wildlife viewing trails. 

Under the preferred alternative, 

Alternative C, we would expand 

inventory and monitoring for bighorn 

sheep, special status species, and 

vegetation and wildlife communities 

throughout the Refuge. Under this 

alternative, we would also use 

prescribed fire and naturally ignited 

fires in Refuge plant communities where 

appropriate to restore vegetation 

characteristics representative of a 

natural fire regime. Alternative C would 

also include fencing along the eastern 

boundary where appropriate as well as 

the permanent closure of illegal roads 

and rehabilitation of damaged habitat 

along the southern and eastern 

boundaries. Visitor services under this 

alternative would be the same as under 

Alternative B except no auto tour route 

or wildlife viewing trails would be 

developed. 

Under Alternative D, the wildlife 

management and inventory and 

monitoring programs would be similar 

to Alternative C. However, under this 

alternative, visitor services would be 

scaled back from the other alternatives. 

For example, the visitor center would 

only be staffed on weekends during the 

off-peak seasons and there would be no 

road improvements on the Refuge. 

Alternatives for Moapa Valley National 

Wildlife Refuge 

Under Alternative A, the no action 

alternative, we would continue to 

manage the Refuge as we have in the 

recent past. Springhead and channel 

restoration work and visitor facilities on 

the Plummer Unit would be completed. 

The limited inventory and monitoring 

program would also continue. However, 

the Refuge would remain closed to the 

public, except by special arrangement. 

Under Alternative B, wildlife 

management programs would be similar 

to Alternative A, with minor 

improvements, including expanded 

surveys for sensitive species and their 

habitats, and strategies for removing 

nonnative aquatic species. We would 

also restore native vegetation along the 

springheads and channels on the 

Pederson Unit. This alternative would 

also include a substantial expansion in 

visitor services over Alternative A, 

including opening the Refuge on 

weekends and improved visitor 

facilities. 

Under the preferred alternative, 

Alternative C, wildlife management 

would be similar to Alternative B, but 

would include increased monitoring 

and the development of a long term 

inventory and monitoring plan for 

sensitive species. In addition, we would 

restore the springheads and channels 

and associated native vegetation on the 

Apcar unit. Under Alternative C, we 

would expand the Refuge acquisition 

boundary by 1,765 acres and pursue 

acquisition of the lands within the 

boundary to protect habitat for Moapa 

dace and other sensitive species. Under 

this alternative, the Refuge would be 

open to visitors every day, the 

environmental education program 

would be expanded, and additional 

trails would be constructed. 

Alternatives for Pahranagat National 

Wildlife Refuge 

Under Alternative A, the no action 

alternative, we would continue to 

manage Pahranagat Refuge as we have 

in the recent past. The in-progress 

hydrology studies would be completed 

and a wetland habitat management plan 

would be developed and implemented. 

Riparian habitat would be maintained 

for the southwestern willow flycatcher 

and other migratory birds. Under this 

alternative, we would maintain the 

fishing, hunting, wildlife observation, 

and environmental education and 

interpretation opportunities on the 

Refuge. The campground would be 

maintained in its current state. 

Under Alternative B, we would 

expand wildlife management and visitor 

services on the Refuge. Wildlife surveys 

and efforts to control invasive plants 

would be expanded and a new refugium 

for the Pahranagat roundtail chub would 

be developed. The visitor contact station 

would be expanded and new 

interpretive kiosk would be developed. 

The campground would also be 

maintained but fees would be charged 

and the maximum length of stay would 

be reduced from 14 to 7 days. 

Under Alternative C, management 

would be similar to Alternative B, with 

the following exceptions. Under this 

alternative, we would develop and 

implement restoration plans for 

degraded springs on the Refuge. In 

addition, a new visitor contact station, 

interpretive walking trail, and photo 

blind would also be developed. Under 

this alternative, we would convert the 

campground to a day-use area. 

Under the preferred alternative, 

Alternative D, management would be 

similar to Alternative C, except we 

would seek to acquire additional water 

rights for the Refuge to provide more 

flexibility in wetland management. 

Also, we would restore native upland 

habitat adjacent to Lower Pahranagat 

Lake and expand the surveying and 

monitoring programs under this 

alternative. Visitor services would be 

similar to Alternative C except we 

would close existing boat ramps and 

offer alternative car-top boat launches.
