BILLING CODE 4310–HC–M

Fish and Wildlife Service

Availability of Draft Environmental

Impact Statement on the

Establishment of the Silvio O. Conte

National Fish and Wildlife Refuge

Within the Four-State Connecticut

River Watershed of New England

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) has prepared, for

public review and comment, a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)

on establishing the Silvio O. Conte

National Fish and Wildlife Refuge

(refuge) in the Connecticut River

watershed of Connecticut,

Massachusetts, Vermont and New

Hampshire. The DEIS describes a No

Action alternative, the Service’s

Proposed Action, and three other

alternatives for establishing the refuge

and the environmental consequences of

implementing each alternative. This

notice is being furnished pursuant to the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) regulations (40 CFR 1503.1) to

invite comment on the DEIS from other

federal and state agencies and the

public.

PUBLIC MEETINGS AND HEARINGS: During

the public review period, a series of

afternoon walk-in informational

sessions and evening public meetings

and hearings will be held in 16 different

locations throughout the four-state

Connecticut River watershed. Meetings

will be held in four locations in

Massachusetts the week of June 6, 1995;

in four locations in Connecticut the

week of June 12, 1995; in four locations

in southern Vermont and New

Hampshire the week of June 19, 1995;

and in four locations in northern

Vermont and New Hampshire the week

of June 26, 1995. The dates, times and

locations of these meetings will be

announced in local and regional

newspapers, through public service

announcements in other media, and

through direct mailings. Written and

walk-in informational sessions and

public meetings, or hearings.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Larry Bandolin, Project Leader, U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, 38 Avenue A,

Turners Falls, Massachusetts 01376.

Telephone (413) 863–0209 or Fax (413)

863–3070.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: In order to be

considered in the preparation of the

Final EIS, all comments should be

received no later than July 31, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS

was prepared to fulfill the requirements

of the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and

Wildlife Refuge Act of 1991 (Act),

Section 105. The Act’s long-term

purposes for establishing a new refuge

in the Connecticut River watershed are

to: (1) conserve, protect, and enhance

the Connecticut River watershed

populations of Atlantic salmon,

American shad, river herring, shortnose

sturgeon, bald eagles, peregrine falcons,

osprey, black ducks, and other native

species of plants, fish, and wildlife; (2)

conserve, protect, and enhance the

natural diversity and abundance of

plant, fish, and wildlife species and the

ecosystems upon which these species

depend within the refuge; (3) protect

species listed as endangered or

threatened, or identified as candidates

for listing, pursuant to the Endangered

Species Act of 1973, as amended; (4)

restore and maintain the chemical,

physical, and biological integrity of

wetlands and other waters within the

refuge; (5) fulfill the international treaty

obligations of the United States relating

to fish and wildlife and wetlands, and

(6) provide opportunities for scientific

research, environmental education, and

fish and wildlife-oriented recreation and

access to the extent compatible with the

other purposes stated in this section.

The DEIS describes five alternative ways

to help fulfill these purposes. It also

discusses the process used to develop

them and the environmental

consequences of implementing each

one. The first alternative (No Action)

would involve no new conservation

efforts in the watershed on the part of

the Service. A second alternative

(Private Lands Work and Education)

relies on the voluntary restoration and

enhancement of private lands through

the Service’s Partners for Wildlife

Program. A third alternative (Private

Lands Work, Education and

Partnerships) relies on the voluntary

restoration and enhancement of private

lands, developing partnerships,

providing technical assistance and

establishing a cost-sharing grants

program—through the Service’s

Challenge Cost Share Program—to help

other conservation interests carry out

their land protection programs. A fourth

alternative (Private Lands Work,

Education, Partnerships and Land

Protection—The Service’s Proposed

Action) is similar to the third
