DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Fish and Wildlife Service 

Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 

Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge 

Comprehensive Conservation Plan and 

Finding of No Significant Impact. 

SUMMARY: The Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) has completed a 

Comprehensive Conservation Plan 

(CCP) and Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) for the Turnbull 

National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The 

CCP was developed to provide a 

foundation for the management and use 

of the Refuge. The Service is furnishing 

this notice to advise other agencies and 

the public of the availability of the CCP 

and FONSI, and the decision to 

implement Alternative 3 as described in 

the CCP. The Service’s Regional Director 

for the Pacific Region selected 

Alternative 3 for managing the Refuge 

for the next 15 years. Changes to Refuge 

management include: Addition of an elk 

hunting program, addition of a youth 

waterfowl hunt, expansion of the 

Refuge, and expansion of the 

interpretive, environmental education, 

wildlife viewing, and wildlife 

photography facilities and programs. 

DATES: The CCP and FONSI are now 

available. Implementation of the CCP 

may begin immediately. 

ADDRESSES: Printed copies of the CCP 

and FONSI are available for viewing at 

the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, 

26010 S. Smith Road, Cheney, WA 

99004, and may be obtained by visiting 

or writing to the Refuge. These 

documents are also available for 

viewing and downloading on the 

Internet at http://www.fws.gov/pacific/ 

planning/. 

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy 

Curry, Refuge Manager, Turnbull 

National Wildlife Refuge, phone number 

(509) 235–4723. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Turnbull 

Refuge is part of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System administered by the 

Service. The National Wildlife Refuge 

System Administration Act of 1966 

(Refuge Administration Act), as 

amended by the National Wildlife 

Refuge System Improvement Act of 

1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd–668ee), requires 

all units of the National Wildlife Refuge 

System to be managed in accordance 

with an approved CCP. A CCP provides 

management direction and identifies 

refuge goals, objectives, and strategies 

for achieving refuge purposes. The CCP 

and FONSI for Turnbull Refuge were 

prepared pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as 

amended, and its implementing 

regulations, the Refuge Administration 

Act, and Service policies. 

Turnbull Refuge is located in eastern 

Washington in the southwest corner of 

Spokane County and protects a portion 

of the extensive Channeled Scablands 

geological formation, which was created 

by massive scouring from Ice Age floods 

fifteen thousand years ago. Due to the 

unusual topography and soil conditions 

rendered by the floods, the Refuge and 

surrounding lands within the Study 

Area comprise a unique assemblage of 

habitats in a semi-arid and fragile 

landscape. Turnbull Refuge contributes 

substantially to the conservation of fish, 

wildlife, and native habitats of the 

Channeled Scablands. 

During the CCP planning process for 

the Refuge many elements were 

considered, including wildlife 

management and habitat protection, offRefuge wildlife-dependent recreational 

and educational opportunities, and 

coordination with tribal, State, and 

Federal agencies and other interested 

groups. The Draft CCP and associated 

Environmental Assessment identified 

and evaluated four alternatives for 

managing Turnbull Refuge. The Draft 

CCP was available for a 45-day public 

review and comment period which 

included two open house public 

meetings. The Service received nearly 

100 responses and a petition on the 

Draft CCP, which were incorporated 

into, or responded to in the final CCP. 

No substantive changes were required to 

address public comments. 

Implementing the CCP will 

encompass the following key actions: 

With partners, the Service will 

actively engage in land conservation 

within a Stewardship Area surrounding 

the Refuge, using a variety of tools, 

including acquisition, conservation 

easements, cooperative agreements, and 

technical assistance programs. Land 

conservation is proposed to address 

threats to Refuge purposes and integrity 

as well as to provide opportunities for 

conservation of Palouse steppe, 

wetland, aspen/riparian, and ponderosa 

pine forest habitats that support several 

threatened species. In addition, the 

Service would seek protection within 

the National Wildlife Refuge System of 

up to 12,000 acres by fee, easement, or 

agreement from willing sellers on 

priority lands within the Stewardship 

Area. 

The Service will initiate an annual elk 

hunting program at the Refuge, to 

address habitat damage issues as well as 

provide a recreational opportunity. The 

number of permits, length of season and 

seasons offered would vary depending 

upon the amount of aspen damage 

observed each year. The Service will 

also offer a youth waterfowl hunt. 

Hunting will be allowed to begin after 

preparation of a step-down Sport 

Hunting Plan, as well as publication of 

regulations in the Federal Register. 

The Service will increase the 

Environmental Education program, both 

on and off-Refuge, increase viewpoint 

and interpretive opportunities on the 

Refuge, add a small interpretive exhibit 

area (co-located with new office space), 

provide more trail miles, and link the 

Public Use Area to the State’s Columbia 

Plateau Trail with a bike trail. If the 

Refuge were to acquire contiguous 

additional lands, up to 10 additional 

trail miles could be added as well as 

several thousand acres for elk or 

waterfowl hunting. 

Dated: April 16, 2007.

Acting Regional Director, Region 1, Portland,
