DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Fish and Wildlife Service

Notice of Intent To Prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement for

the Proposed Exchange of Lands With

Federal Interest on South Fox Island,

Leelanau County, MI, Between the

State of Michigan and a Private Citizen

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

Interior, lead; National Park Service,

Interior, cooperating; Michigan

Department of Natural Resources,

cooperating.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

for the proposed exchange of lands with

Federal interest on South Fox Island,

Leelanau County, Michigan.

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public

that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

(FWS) intends to gather the information

necessary for the preparation of an EIS.

The actions to be evaluated by this EIS

are: (1) The approval by FWS of the

exchange of 313 acres, acquired by the

State with Federal Aid in Wildlife

Restoration assistance, for lands with

equal monetary and wildlife restoration

values; (2) the approval by the National

Park Service (NPS) for the State to

exchange 105 acres with NPS interest

for private lands with equal or greater

monetary and recreational value; and (3)

the related exchange of 220 acres of

unencumbered State-owned land for fee

title and easements for private lands of

equal value. All acreage is approximate.

The proposed exchange will consolidate

and confine most State ownership to

approximately the northern one-third of

South Fox Island, Leelanau County,

Michigan, about 30 miles west

northwest of Charlevoix, in Lake

Michigan.

Based upon public comments and

agency concerns, the current Proposed

Action is a modification of the original

proposal as presented in the

Environmental Assessment Notice of

Intent (65 FR 57367, Sep. 22, 2000) and

public scoping meetings. The

approximately 115 acre southern tip

would feature three areas: (1) The

southernmost portion (part of section

21) that includes the lighthouse,

associated buildings, and part of the

harbor area would remain in public

ownership. (2) The unforested, sandy

area, approximately bounded by forest

on the north and south and the water’s

edge on the east and west (parts of

sections 16 and 21), would be placed in

a conservation easement if that portion

was transferred to private ownership.

The conservation easement would

prevent any form of development from

occurring within its borders. (3) The

northernmost portion of the southern tip

is forested and would go into private

ownership without any conservation

easement. The internet site at: http://

midwest.fws.gov/NEPA/ contains a map

of the proposed conservation easement

and southern tip. The island property

containing a cemetery would move into

public ownership.

The FWS Regional Director is

considering an exchange of lands

acquired with Federal Aid in Wildlife

Restoration funds under the authority of

50 CFR 80.14 and 43 CFR 12.71. The

NPS and General Service’s

Administration (GSA) are considering

the removal of a title reversion clause to

allow the disposal of certain lands on

South Fox Island and for the placement

of a title reversion clause on

replacement lands of equal monetary

and recreational value. Alternatives

could include approval, disapproval, or

modification of the State’s current

proposal of the land exchange.

Modifications could include, but are not

limited to: changes in the boundaries

and acreage of tracts to be exchanged;

elimination of more of the NPS tract

from the exchange; and deed restrictions

on certain lands to be conveyed to the

private owner to protect wildlife and

historic resources.

This notice is being furnished as

required by the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) Regulations (40 CFR

1501.7 and 1508.22). The intent of the

notice is to obtain suggestions and

additional information from other

agencies and the public on the scope of

issues to be addressed in the EIS.

Comments and participation in this

scoping process are solicited.

DATES: Written comments should be

received on or before June 15, 2001.

Scoping meetings are scheduled for June

5, 2001 at Leland High School, 200 N.

Grand Avenue, Leland, Michigan 49654

and on June 6, 2001 at Charlevoix High

School, 108 E. Garfield, Charlevoix,

Michigan 49720. At each location, the

meeting will take place from 6:30 to 9

p.m.

Public Involvement

The public is invited to participate in

the scoping process, attendance at

public meeting, and review of the draft

EIS when it is produced. Scoping

meetings are scheduled for June 5, 2001

at Leland High School, 200 N. Grand

Avenue, Leland, Michigan and on June

6, 2001 at Charlevoix High School, 108

E. Garfield, Charlevoix, Michigan. At

each location, the meeting will take

place from 6:30 to 9 p.m.. There will be

a 30 minute presentation at the

beginning of each meeting prior to

breaking into groups for comments and

questions. Both meetings will be

announced in the local news media.

Release of the draft EIS for public

comment will also be announced in the

local news media, as these dates are

established. Written scoping comments

should be received within 30 days from

the date of publication of this Notice of

Intent. Public comments that were

provided during an Environmental

Assessment process on a similar

proposal will be utilized in developing

alternatives and issues for the draft EIS.

All comments received from

individuals become part of the official

public record. Requests for such

comments will be handled in

accordance with the Freedom of

Information Act and the Council on

Environmental Quality’s NEPA

regulations [40 CFR 1506.6(f)]. Our

practice is to make comments, including

names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public review

during regular business hours.

Individual respondents may request that

we withhold their home address from

the record, which we will honor to the

extent allowable by law. If a respondent

wishes us to withhold his/her name

and/or address, this must be stated

prominently at the beginning of the

comment.

addressed to: Mr. Craig Czarnecki, U.S.
