Wildlife System Improvement Act of

Policy Act of 1969, the plan describes
how the Service intends to manage the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd et seq.), requires the Service to
develop a CCP for each refuge within
the system. The purpose of developing
a CCP is to provide refuge managers
with a 15-year strategy for achieving
refuge purposes and contributing
toward the mission of the National
Wildlife Refuge System, consistent with
sound principles of fish and wildlife
science, conservation, legal mandates,
and Service policies. In addition to
outlining broad management direction
on conserving wildlife and habitats, a
CCP identifies wildlife-dependent
recreational opportunities available to
the public, including opportunities for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. The CCP
will be reviewed and updated at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1969, as amended
by the National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997, and the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4347, as
amended).
Established in 1974, Great Dismal
Swamp NWR encompasses 111,203
acres, the largest intact remnant of a vast
habitat that once covered more than 1
million acres of southeastern Virginia
and northeastern North Carolina.
Nansemond NWR, established
December 12, 1973, is an unstaffed
satellite refuge encompassing 423 acres.
Our Final CCP includes management
direction for each of the refuges, and
details habitat management and public
use programs based on the vision for the
refuge at the time of its establishment in
1974. We have included the restoration
of 8,000 acres of Atlantic white cedar
habitat, the restoration of 10,000 acres of
red-cockaded woodpecker habitat, and
the restoration of a remnant marsh to its
original 250 acres from its present 30
acres. We would establish a neotropical
migratory bird focus area near Jericho
Lane, in which we would focus habitat
management and modeling, population
surveys, and education and
interpretation related to neotropical
migratory bird populations. We will
implement a limited bear hunt. This
hunt will occur on a total of 2 days
during November and December, with a
total maximum of 100 permits issued.
We anticipate a harvest of 11 bears with
a harvest limit target of 20 bears. If 10
or more bears are taken the first day,
various parameters will be evaluated
and the second hunt day may be
cancelled. As with the deer hunt, dogs
will not be allowed as a means to hunt
bears. The bear hunt is currently
authorized in the Code of Federal

Regulations (50 CFR Part 32), but has
never been implemented.
We have also targeted building
projects, such as the development of an
environmental education site at Jericho
Ditch in Suffolk, Virginia. We will also
develop an exhibit to be situated at the
downtown visitor center that is run by
the City of Suffolk. Additionally, we
propose the conversion of the current
administrative building for a concession
operation that will rent kayaks and
outdoor equipment and run tours of the
swamp, the construction of a new
visitor center and headquarters between
the old and new Route 17 in
Chesapeake, Virginia, and the
construction of new trails, observation
and photography platforms, or towers.
The CCP proposes to enhance
environmental education and outreach,
and to establish hunter safety and youth
hunting programs.
• The Service solicited comments on
the draft CCP/EA for Great Dismal
Swamp and Nansemond NWRs from
March 13 to April 24, 2006 (March 13,
2006, 71 FR 12709). We developed a list
of substantive comments that required
responses. Editorial suggestions and
notes of concurrence with or opposition
to certain proposals were noted and
included in the decision making
process, but did not receive formal
responses. The Final CCP includes
responses to all substantive comments.
Based upon comments that we
received, we have chosen management
alternative B, with the following
modifications:
• Land Protection: A number of
comments expressed support for
protection of the Great Dismal Swamp
ecosystem, including surrounding
lands. Additionally, a comment voiced
concern that the wording of Goal 3 did
not adequately reflect the refuge
purpose as stated in the Dismal Swamp
Act. The refuge addressed these
comments with the following actions:
(1) Addition of the following strategy
to Goal 3: ‘‘Develop sound working
relationships with adjoining
landowners, nearby neighboring
landowners, and other key landowners
within the ecosystem to protect the
integrity of the refuge boundary and
further the protection of the ecosystem.’’
The refuge will take advantage of
partnership opportunities around the
refuge.
(2) Goal 3 was broadened to better
reflect the intent of the enabling
legislation and reworded as: ‘‘Provide
protection and restoration of those areas
within Great Dismal Swamp ecosystem
that are remnants of the Great Dismal
Swamp and/or are restorable to Great
Dismal Swamp habitat while providing
