demand for visitor access with user 

experience and resource protection; (3) 

threats to water quality from off-Refuge 

mining; (4) Refuge enhancement of its 

relationship with local communities; (5) 

monitoring and addressing the effects of 

climate change; (6) the State of Alaska’s 

wood bison project; and (7) ensuring 

resource protection while providing for 

subsistence and other public uses. 

Alternative A (the no-action 

alternative—a NEPA requirement) 

described what would happen with a 

continuation of current management 

activities and served as a baseline for 

comparison of other alternative. Under 

Alternative A, management of the 

Refuge would continue to follow the 

current course of action as described in 

the 1987 Innoko CCP and Record of 

Decision as modified by subsequent 

program-specific plans. Refuge lands 

would remain in their present 

management categories. 

Under our selected alternative, 

Alternative B, Refuge lands would 

continue to be managed in their present 

management categories. New regional 

policies and guidelines for national 

wildlife refuges in Alaska would be 

incorporated. The vision, goals, and 

objectives proposed in the draft CCP 

would be adopted to guide Refuge 

management. 

Comments on the Draft CCP 

Public comments on the draft CCP 

and EA were solicited from May 14, 

2008 through July 22, 2008. A public 

meeting was held in McGrath but no 

one attended it. Comments were 

received from the State of Alaska, three 

conservation organizations, one biggame guide outfitter, and two 

individuals. 

One individual requested a ban on all 

hunting, trapping, logging, new roads 

and prescribed burning in the Refuge. 

The other individual recommended that 

the Refuge Headquarters be moved to 

Galena. Support for the State of Alaska’s 

wood bison project and opposition to 

future subsistence hunting of wood 

bison was expressed. The outfitter-guide 

expressed concern about management of 

air taxis and management of hunting 

within the Refuge. Two conservation 

organizations requested the CCP include 

Wilderness and Wild and Scenic River 

recommendations. One organization 

provided comments on motorized and 

mechanized activities, climate change, 

and supported disclosure of information 

about State of Alaska right-of-way 

claims. One organization provided a 

number of specific comments on access 

and fisheries enhancement in 

wilderness. The State of Alaska 

provided technical and editorial 

comments on wood bison, fisheries 

management, goals and objectives, 

predator management, management 

policies and guidelines, and draft 

compatibility determinations. 

No substantive revisions to 

Alternative B, the proposed action, were 

made as a result of the public comments 

on the Draft Revised Innoko CCP. A 

number of technical corrections were 

made in response to comments and 

many of the editorial suggestions 

provided by the State of Alaska were 

adopted.
