Draft Environmental Impact Statement/

Resources Management Plan for Santa

Rosa Island, Channel Islands National

Park; Notice of Availability

SUMMARY: Pursuant to § 102(2)(c) of the

National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (P. L. 91–190, as amended), the

National Park Service, Department of

the Interior, has prepared a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement

assessing the potential impacts of the

proposed Resources Management Plan

for Improvement of Water Quality and

Conservation of Rare Species and Their

Habitats on Santa Rosa Island, Santa

Barbara County, California. Once

approved, the plan will guide resources

management on Santa Rosa Island for

the next 15 years.

Background

The draft Resources Management Plan

and Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS/RMP) presents a proposal and

four alternatives for improving water

quality and riparian areas and

promoting the conservation of rare

species and their habitats on Santa Rosa

Island. ‘‘Rare species’’ includes both

species which have been proposed for

listing as threatened or endangered

under the Endangered Species Act, and

those species which are candidates for

such listing.

The proposed action, Alternative C,

Targeted Action, would improve water

quality in surface streams and protect

riparian habitat areas on Santa Rosa

Island, by excluding cattle and horses

from one pasture, by establishing a

seasonal grazing rotation in another

pasture, and by constructing small

riparian exclosures in several drainages.

Conservation measures for rare species

and their habitats would include

removing the island’s deer herd,

reducing its elk herd, and excluding

cattle and horses from one pasture. Both

objectives would be fostered by

increasing grazing management

standards.

In addition, the following four (4)

alternatives are considered in the DEIS/

RMP: Alternative A ‘‘No Action’’ would

continue the existing cattle ranching

and commercial hunt operation, with no

changes. Alternative B ‘‘Minimal

Action’’ consists of excluding cattle

from one pasture, removing the island’s

deer herd, and constructing small

riparian exclosures in several drainages.

Alternative D ‘‘Conservation Team

Recommendations’’ includes phased

closure of pastures and phased

reduction of cattle numbers, as well as

removal of the island’s deer and

reduction in the island’s elk herd.

Alternative E ‘‘Immediate Removal of

Ungulates’’ consists of removal of all

cattle, horses, elk and deer from the

island within three years.

Additional Details

may be addressed to the

Superintendent, Channel Islands

National Park, 1901 Spinnaker Drive,

Ventura, CA 93001. All such comments

must be received no later than sixty (60)

Notice. Also, a public meeting to

media and by written announcement

mailed to all individuals, organizations,

scoping period (which was initiated by
