successfully eradicated from 1. In 2008, 

the Refuge and partner organizations 

demonstrated that Norway rats could be 

successfully eradicated from Hawadax 

Island, and that the eradication could 

have a positive impact on native 

wildlife communities. 

Post-eradication monitoring found 

significant recoveries of terrestrial birds 

and shorebirds, and the initial 

recolonization or recovery of marine 

birds 5 years after eradication. Intertidal 

ecosystem recovery was also 

documented 11 years post-eradication. 

Proposed Action and Possible 

Alternatives 

The Service intends to eradicate 

nonnative rats from four uninhabited 

islands in the Refuge. The islands are 

remote, and eradication efforts would be 

undertaken one single island at a time, 

with years between efforts on each 

island. The Service is currently 

considering four preliminary 

alternatives and a no-action alternative. 

The Service will identify a preferred 

alternative in the final EIS. The 

following alternatives are preliminary 

and may be revised based on public 

input and internal considerations. 

• Alternative 1: The no-action 

alternative, in which nonnative rats 

remain on islands. 

• Alternative 2: This alternative 

proposes rat eradication primarily using 

bait pellets containing the rodenticide 

brodifacoum. 

• Alternative 3: This alternative 

proposes rat eradication primarily using 

bait pellets containing the rodenticide 

diphacinone. 

• Alternative 4: This alternative 

analyzes rat eradication using emerging 

genetic biocontrol technology to limit 

propagation or survival. 

• Alternative 5: This alternative 

analyzes rat eradication primarily using 

bait pellets containing the rodenticide 

norbormide. 

Summary of Expected Impacts 

The overall impact of the proposed 

action of eradicating nonnative rats is 

anticipated to have a beneficial effect on 

the islands’ ecosystems. However, the 

EIS analysis will focus on the potential 

significant impacts of each alternative. 

The Service anticipates impacts to occur 

to, but not be limited to, the following 

resources from any or all of the 

proposed alternatives: 

• Access to public lands 

• Air quality and climate 

• Aquatic and marine environments, 

including anadromous and nonanadromous fish and invertebrate 

species 

• Cultural and historical resources 

• Designated Wilderness 

• Endangered Species Act-listed species 

• Marine mammals 

• Migratory birds, including bald eagles 

• Public health and safety 

• Socioeconomics, including impacts to 

subsistence and recreational fisheries 

• Water quality 

Anticipated Permits and Authorities 

The proposed action may require the 

following permits or approvals: 

• Alaska Department of Fish and Game 

Wildlife Nuisance permit 

• Alaska Department of Natural 

Resources Fish Habitat permit 

• Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act 

section 14(h)(1) private land 

permission 

• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act 

permit 

• Clean Water Act permit 

• Endangered Species Act section 7 

consultation 

• Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act section 3 pesticide 

labels 

• Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries 

Conservation Act consultations for 

essential fish habitat 

• Marine Mammal Protection Act 

authorization 

• Migratory Bird Treaty Act 

• Pesticide Use Proposal 

• State Historic Preservation Office 

section 106 consultation under the 

National Historic Preservation Act 

• Water Pollution Control Act of 1948, 

as amended, National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System permit 

Schedule for the Decision-Making 

Process 

The Service will review and consider 

comments received during scoping and 

incorporate substantive comments while 

writing the draft EIS. The Service 

anticipates completion of the draft EIS 

in spring 2026, at which time we will 

publish a Federal Register notice of 

availability requesting public 

comments. We will also hold a public 

meeting on the draft EIS. We anticipate 

making the final EIS available to the 

public in fall 2026. In accordance with 

40 CFR 1506.10, a record of decision 

shall not be made or issued for a 

minimum of 30 days after the 

publication of the final EIS.

and other Federal agencies to comment 

on new, proposed, revised, and 

continuing collections of information in

public understand ONRR’s information 

collection requirements and provide the 

requested data in the desired format. 

ONRR is especially interested in 

public comments addressing the 

following: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of ONRR’s estimate 

of the burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used;
