SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966, as amended 

by the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee), requires the Service to 

develop a comprehensive conservation 

plan for each national wildlife refuge. 

The purpose in developing a 

comprehensive conservation plan is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

strategy 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 Service policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, plans identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities 

available to the public, including 

opportunities for hunting, fishing, 

wildlife observation, wildlife 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. 

Each unit of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System is established with 

specific purposes. These purposes are 

used to develop and prioritize 

management goals and objectives within 

the National Wildlife Refuge System 

mission, and to guide which public uses 

will occur on the refuge. The planning 

process is a means for the Service and 

the public to evaluate management goals 

and objectives for the best possible 

conservation efforts of this important 

wildlife habitat, while providing for 

wildlife-dependent recreation 

opportunities that are compatible with 

the refuge’s establishing purposes and 

the mission of the National Wildlife 

Refuge System. 

A comprehensive conservation 

planning process will be conducted that 

will provide opportunities for tribal, 

State, and local governments; agencies; 

organizations; and the public to 

participate in issue scoping and public 

comment. The Service invites anyone 

interested to respond to the following 

questions: 

1. What problems or issues do you 

want to see addressed in the 

comprehensive conservation plan? 

2. What improvements would you 

recommend for the Watercress Darter 

National Wildlife Refuge? 

The above questions have been 

provided for your optional use. You are 

not required to provide any information. 

The Planning Team developed these 

questions to gather information about 

individual issues and ideas concerning 

the refuge. The Planning Team will use 

comments it receives as part of the 

planning process; however, it will not 

reference individual comments or 

directly respond to them. 

Open house style meeting(s) will be 

held throughout the scoping phase of 

the comprehensive conservation plan 

development process. Special mailings, 

newspaper articles, and other media 

announcements will be used to inform 

the public and State and local 

government agencies of the 

opportunities for input throughout the 

planning process. 

The environmental review of this 

project will be conducted in accordance 

with the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.); NEPA 

Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–1508); 

and other appropriate Federal laws and 

regulations. All comments received 

become part of the official public 

record. Requests for such comments will 

be handled in accordance with the 

Freedom of Information Act and Service 

and Departmental policies and 

procedures. 

Watercress Darter National Wildlife 

Refuge was established in 1980 to 

protect the endangered watercress darter 

and its habitat. Refuge objectives are to: 

Protect the watercress darter and its 

habitat; provide habitat for a natural 

diversity of wildlife and plants; and 

provide opportunity for compatible 

outdoor recreation, environmental 

education, and interpretation.
