San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta

Biological Case Study Public

Workshop

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta

Biological Case Study Public Workshop.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is

funding three biological case studies in

fulfillment of the Biological Study

requirements of the Nonindigenous

Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and

Control Act of 1990. The studies

provide the basis for reporting to

Congress on whether aquatic nuisance

species threaten the ecological

characteristics and economic uses of

waters of the United States other than

the Great Lakes. The Service strategy for

fulfilling this requirement includes a

public workshop after each Biological

Case Study is completed to ensure broad

and comprehensive review and input,

especially with regard to impacts of

aquatic nuisance species. Specifically,

this workshop will include an update

on San Francisco Bay and Inland Delta

aquatic nuisance species invasions and

associated impacts, provide a forum for

stakeholders and interested parties to

evaluate, comment on, and add to the

San Francisco Bay/Inland Delta

Biological Case Study, and provide an

opportunity for participant to provide

additional information and make

associated recommendations. The

workshop is open to the public.

Interested persons may make oral

statements at the meeting or submit

written statements for consideration.

DATES: The Workshop will be held from

9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on December 10,

1997.

ADDRESSES: The Workshop will be held

at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’

Bay Model Visitor Center, 2100

forms of disposition as may by law be

made of National Forest System land

and to mining. The land has been and

will remain open to mineral leasing.

valid existing rights, the provisions of

existing withdrawals, other segregations

of record, and the requirements of

the land under the general mining laws

prior to the date and time of restoration

is unauthorized. Any such attempted

appropriation, including attempted

adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. S.
