29514 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 118 / Monday, June 22, 2009 / Notices 

As under Alternative A, we would 

continue to comply with Section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act, 

but there would be no additional active 

cultural resources management. 

Cooperation with the Muscogee Creek 

Nation in management and protection of 

Traditional Cultural Properties would 

continue. Additionally, within 10 years 

of CCP approval, a Phase I cultural 

resources survey of the refuge would be 

implemented, and within 15 years of 

CCP approval, the refuge would develop 

and begin to implement an Integrated 

Cultural Resources Management Plan. 

A law enforcement officer would be 

added for Bond Swamp NWR, working 

2,080 hours per year in boundary work, 

public safety, and cultural resources 

identification and protection. This 

would be in addition to the same tasks 

as identified under Alternative A— 

patrols, trespass and cultural resources 

enforcement, and hunting/fishing 

compliance checks. 

For the duration of the CCP, we 

would cooperate with State and local 

government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to 

characterize status of refuge waters and 

fish species with regard to 

environmental contamination issues, 

such as presence and levels of toxins. 

Fish consumption advisories would be 

posted as appropriate. With regard to 

hydrologic function, as under 

Alternative A, input to the Service’s 

Ecological Services Office in Athens, 

Georgia, on Section 404 permit 

applications would continue to be 

provided. Additionally, communication 

with the Ecological Services Office 

would be improved to provide more 

effective input and to safeguard the 

refuge’s interests. Partnerships and 

funding would be pursued to obtain a 

North American Wetland Conservation 

Act grant through the ACJV to increase 

land acquisition within the refuge 

boundary. 

Within 3 years of CCP approval, a 

Visitor Services Plan would be prepared 

and implemented to provide overall 

management guidance for public use on 

the refuge. We would work with State 

and county partners to improve 

directional signage, kiosks, and parking 

lots. Within the 15-year life of the CCP, 

access on the east side would be 

improved by working with the Georgia 

Department of Transportation and the 

Federal Highway Administration to 

install turning lanes at entrances, 

improve Stone Creek Road, and provide 

boat and canoe/kayak access to Stone 

Creek. Vehicular access on the west side 

of the refuge would be opened by 

locating a right-of-way. We also would 

work with the Georgia Department of 

Natural Resources to locate a boat ramp 

along the Ocmulgee River. 

The priority public recreational uses 

of the National Wildlife Refuge System 

would continue at Bond Swamp NWR 

under Alternative C. Within 5 years of 

settlement of a lawsuit against the 

Service, which is now being litigated, 

we would maintain or expand existing 

hunts and add small game, wild turkey, 

and waterfowl hunts. The west side of 

the refuge would be opened to hunting, 

once access is provided. 

Within 3–5 years of CCP approval, 

fishing opportunities would be 

improved through increased access on 

the east and west sides of the refuge. At 

primary parking and boat launch areas, 

health advisories related to consuming 

fish would be posted. We would work 

with the Georgia Department of Natural 

Resources to consider methods for 

controlling flathead catfish. 

Within 10 years of CCP approval, a 

canoe trail on Stone Creek would be 

developed, the viewshed at the Brown’s 

Mount overlook would be improved, 

and a boardwalk along Stone Creek 

would be developed. 

In cooperation with partners, an 

educational program would be 

developed and implemented that would 

provide an understanding and 

appreciation of the refuge’s ecology and 

historic and present human influence 

on the region’s ecosystems. A full-time 

park ranger would be added to manage 

the program. We would identify 

potential outreach events and decide 

which could provide the greatest return 

on investment, limiting participation to 

those events only. As time allows, 

programs would be presented to local 

groups (e.g., civic, library, garden clubs, 

and schools). 

The refuge operations specialist and 

park ranger would be reinstated; a law 

enforcement officer, a forestry 

technician, and an engineering 

equipment operator would be added. In 

addition to partnerships with the 

Georgia Department of Natural 

Resources, the Georgia Forestry 

Commission, and the Muscogee Creek 

Nation, as under Alternative A, we 

would actively participate with local 

partnerships in resource conservation 

and land planning, such as Ocmulgee 

Heritage Greenway, and cooperate with 

non-governmental organizations and 

other organizations. Within 15 years of 

CCP approval, we would plan and 

construct an office and maintenance 

yard east of State Route 23. Equipment, 

such as a tractor, backhoe, 5 trucks, a 

johnboat with motor, 1 four-wheeler, 

and trailer, would be acquired.
