SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: President 

Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive 

Order 7168 on September 4, 1935, 

‘‘establishing Arrowwood Migratory 

Waterfowl Refuge.’’ Now known as 

Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, 

the 15,973-acre Refuge is in east-central 

North Dakota. The Refuge covers 14 

miles of the James River Valley in Foster 

and Stutsman counties, approximately 

30 miles north of Jamestown. The 

purposes of the Refuge are for use by 

migratory birds with emphasis on 

waterfowl and other water birds; the 

conservation of fish and wildlife 

resources; use as an inviolate sanctuary; 

or for any other management purposes, 

for migratory birds; and a Refuge and

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 55 / Thursday, March 22, 2007 / Notices 13509 

breeding ground for migratory birds and 

other wildlife. 

The Refuge lies on the Central Flyway 

migratory corridor and is an important 

stopover for many birds. The prairie 

grassland and wetland complex habitats 

provides a nesting and feeding habitat 

for waterfowl in the spring and summer. 

Hundreds of thousands of waterfowl 

migrate through the area and use the 

wetlands in the spring and fall for 

feeding and resting. The Refuge contains 

approximately 6,000 acres of native 

prairie; 5,340 acres of seed grasses; 

3,850 acres of wetlands; 660 acres of 

wooded ravines and riparian 

woodlands; and 125 acres of planted 

trees including shelterbelts. It is 

important to note that 3,430 acres of 

wetlands are managed impoundments 

and pools. Public use and recreation at 

the Refuge includes the six priority 

wildlife-dependent uses: hunting, 

fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife 

photography, interpretation, and 

education. 

This draft CCP/EA identifies and 

evaluates three alternatives for 

managing the Refuge for the next 15 

years. Under Alternative A, the No 

Action alternative, the Service would 

manage habitats, wildlife, programs, and 

facilities at current levels as time, staff, 

and funds allow. There would be an 

emphasis on waterfowl migration and 

reproduction habitat. The Service would 

not develop any new management, 

restoration, or education programs at the 

Refuge. Target elevations of each 

wetland impoundment would be 

managed independently to achieve 

optimal habitat conditions. 

Alternative B would maximize the 

biological potential of the Refuge for 

both wetland and upland habitats, and 

support a well-balanced and diverse 

flora and fauna representative of the 

Prairie Pothole Region. A scientificbased monitoring program would be 

developed as part of the habitat 

management plan (HMP). Public use 

opportunities would be expanded with 

the construction of additional facilities 

and development of educational 

programs. 

Alternative C, the Proposed Action, 

would include those features described 

in Alternative B, as well as including a 

plan to improve the water quality 

entering the Refuge, and reducing peak 

flows in the upper James River 

watershed during spring runoff and 

summer rainfall events. This watershed 

management component would include 

working with private landowners 

through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service’s Partners for Fish and Wildlife 

program and other federal, state, and 

private conservation programs. The 

focus would be to protect and restore 

wetlands and grasslands, and reduce the 

impact on water quality from cropland 

and livestock operations. Improving the 

health of the upper James River 

watershed would not only benefit 

wildlife habitat in the watershed and at 

the Refuge, it would also benefit the 

Jamestown Reservoir and all 

downstream users. 

The Proposed Action was selected 

because it best meets the purposes and 

goals of the Refuge, as well as the goals 

of the National Wildlife Refuge System. 

The Proposed Action will also benefit 

federally listed species, waterfowl, 

shorebirds, wading birds, grassland 

birds, and songbirds. Environmental 

education and partnerships will result 

in improved wildlife-dependent 

recreational opportunities. Cultural and 

historical resources, as well as federally 

listed species, will be protected. 

Opportunities for public input will 

also be provided at a public meeting. 

Exact dates and times for these public 

meetings are yet to be determined, but 

will be announced via local media and 

a newsletter. All information provided 

voluntarily by mail, phone, or at public 

meetings (e.g., names, addresses, letters 

of comment, input recorded during 

meetings) becomes part of the official 

public record. If requested under the 

Freedom of Information Act by a private 

citizen or organization, the Service may 

provide copies of such information. The 

environmental review of this project 

will be conducted in accordance with 

the requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.); NEPA Regulations (40 CFR 1500–

1508); other appropriate Federal laws 

and regulations; Executive Order 12996; 

the National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997; and Service 

policies and procedures for compliance 

with those laws and regulations.
