Fish and Wildlife Service

Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge

Complex; Notice of Availability

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National

Wildlife Refuge System Improvement

Act of 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) has published a Draft

Comprehensive Conservation Plan and

Environmental Assessment for the

Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge

Complex. This plan describes how the

Service intends to manage the five

refuges in Rhode Island during the next

15 years. These refuges include: Block

Island NWR, Ninigret NWR, John H.

Chafee NWR, Sachuest Point NWR, and

Trustom Pond NWR.

DATES: Formal public hearings will be

held beginning at 7:00 p.m. on February

6 in Middletown, RI; February 7 in

South Kingstown, RI; and, February 8

on Block Island. The hearings will

provide an opportunity for all interested

parties to formally present oral or

written testimony on the draft document

before a hearing officer and court

reporter. Those wishing to do so will be

able to sign up to speak when they enter

the hearing room. The formal public

hearings will be held at:

February 6: Middletown High School

Cafeteria, 130 Valley Road,

Middletown, RI 02879

February 7: South Kingstown High

School Cafeteria, 215 Columbia Street,

Wakefield, RI 02879

February 8: Block Island School Library,

High Street, New Shoreham, RI 02807

Prior to each formal hearing, from

6:00 to 7:00 p.m., the Service will host

an Open House to provide an

opportunity for public comment on a

separate Environmental Assessment for

the proposed Rhode Island Refuge

Visitor Center and Administrative

Offices which is being released

concurrently with the draft

Comprehensive Conservation Plan.

All other comments should be sent by

either traditional or electronic mail, no

later than March 2, 2001, to: The Rhode

Island Refuges CCP Planning Team, U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service, 300 Westgate

Center Drive, Hadley, MA 01035–9589,

or FW5RW_CCP@fws.gov.

ADDRESSES: Additional information or

copies of an executive summary of the

plan or the complete document may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft

Comprehensive Conservation Plan and

Environmental Assessment fully

describes, evaluates, and compares four

alternatives for managing the natural

resources and public use opportunities

on the Rhode Island National Wildlife

Refuge Complex. One of the alternatives

represents the Service’s Proposed

Action. The four alternatives are:

Alternative A

This is the No Action Alternative

required by the Council of

Environmental Quality’s regulations on

the implementation of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

Selection of this alternative would not

change our current management

programs on any of the five refuges. Our

land acquisition program would

continue to be focused on the 735 acres

remaining within the currently

approved acquisition boundaries. We

would continue to emphasize

management for the federally threatened

piping plover and restoration of earlysuccessional coastal sandplain habitats

and wetlands. Public use opportunities

would not change appreciably.

Alternative B

Alternative B is the Service’s

Proposed Action; that is, the alternative

currently recommended for approval.

Selection of this alternative would

expand all Refuge boundaries,

increasing our current land acquisition

goal by 3,200 acres. Alternative B would

increase protection and management for

endangered, threatened, and other

species of concern, increase restoration

of early-successional native habitats and

wetlands, and increase biological

inventories and monitoring.

Opportunities would increase for all six

priority public uses, which include

hunting, fishing, wildlife observation

and photography, environmental

education and interpretation.

Compatibility determinations for the

proposed priority public use activities

are included as an appendix to the

document. These compatibility

determinations establish which public

uses support the achievement of refuge

purposes or the National Wildlife

Refuge System mission and would be

allowed on refuge land.

Alternative C

This alternative would also increase

protection, management, restoration,

monitoring and inventories of species

and habitats similar to Alternative B.

However, selection of this alternative

would increase our current land

acquisition goal by 11,500 acres. Refuge

staff would take the lead in

accomplishing interagency, watershedbased planning initiatives, respective

recovery team tasks, and ecosystem

team priorities. This alternative would

eliminate existing incompatible, nonwildlife dependent uses by 2002, three

years sooner than the other alternatives.

Environmental education would be

emphasized over other priority public

uses on each refuge.

Alternative D

This alternative would maintain

current biological resource program

priorities, which include protecting

piping plover, and managing earlysuccessional native habitats and

wetlands. Selection of this alternative

would pursue the current land

acquisition goal of 735 acres, similar to

Alternative A. This alternative is

distinguished from the others by the

amount of resources directed towards

expanding all priority public use

opportunities on each refuge.

Dated: January 8, 2001.

Acting Regional Director, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, Hadley, Massachusetts.
