SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Introduction
With this notice, we continue the CCP
process at Camas NWR. We started this
process through a notice in the Federal
Register (75 FR 57053; September 17,
2010).
The Camas Refuge was established by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937
for the purpose of serving as a refuge
and breeding ground for migratory birds
and other wildlife. The Refuge is located
36 miles north of Idaho Falls, near the
community of Hamer, Idaho. The Refuge
lies in the upper Snake River plain at
approximately 4,800 feet in elevation.
About half of the Refuge’s 10,578
acres are lakes, ponds, and marshlands,
with the remainder consisting of
sagebrush-steppe and semi-desert
grassland uplands and meadows. There
are 292 known species of wildlife that
utilize the Refuge during various
periods of the year. Approximately 100
species of migratory birds nest at the
Refuge, and it is especially important to
migrating land birds. A large number of
songbirds use the Refuge’s cottonwood
groves, which are also a significant
winter roost site for bald eagles. Greater
sandhill cranes gather on the Refuge
prior to fall migration. Sage grouse use
the Refuge during brood rearing. During
migration, which peaks during March
and April, and again in October, up to
50,000 ducks, 3,000 geese, and several
hundred tundra and trumpeter swans
may be present on the Refuge. The
Refuge also hosts elk, white-tailed deer,
mule deer, pronghorn, and moose.
Background
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration
Act), as amended by the National
Wildlife Refuge System Improvement
Act of 1997, requires us to develop a
CCP for each national wildlife refuge.
The purpose for developing a CCP is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
plan for achieving refuge purposes and
contributing toward the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System
(NWRS), consistent with sound
principles of fish and wildlife
management, conservation, legal
mandates, such as the National
Environmental Policy Act, and our
policies. In addition to outlining broad
management direction on conserving
wildlife and their habitats, CCPs
identify compatible wildlife-dependent
recreational opportunities available to
the public, including opportunities for
hunting, fishing, wildlife observation
and photography, and environmental
education and interpretation. We will

review and update the CCP at least
every 15 years in accordance with the
Refuge Administration Act.
CCP Alternatives We Are Considering
During the public scoping process,
we, along with other governmental
agencies, Tribes, and the public, raised
several issues which our Draft CCP/EA
addresses. To address these issues, we
developed and evaluated the following
alternatives, summarized below:
Alternative 1 (No-Action)
This alternative represents current
management.
Wildlife and Habitat: Under
Alternative 1, the Refuge would
continue to be managed to provide
consistent deep wetland habitats April
through October to support reliable
levels of annual waterfowl production.
Providing hemi-marsh habitat (habitat
with approximately equal areas of
emergent vegetation and open water)
would continue to be the primary
management emphasis. Camas Creek
would remain highly altered (diked and
incised), and minimal overbank
flooding would occur. Management of
upland habitats (sagebrush steppe and
grasslands) would be minimal (mostly
invasive species control and
monitoring). Shelterbelt habitats would
continue to be irrigated. Tall, mature
cottonwoods nearing the end of their
life spans would be replaced, and nonnative understory trees and shrubs
would be replaced with native species.
One hundred forty acres of alfalfa and
20 acres of small grain would be grown
annually under cooperative farming
agreements. Three hundred thirty acres
of formerly farmed fields would be flood
irrigated annually, and 150 acres of
these fields would be hayed annually by
cooperative farmers.
Public Use: The Refuge would
maintain existing public use facilities,
including a parking lot and information
kiosk, 0.5-mile pedestrian birding trail
and viewing platform, 6.3-mile auto tour
road, and 6.5 miles of hunter access
roads. Year-round hiking, biking,
jogging, cross-country skiing, and/or
snowshoeing would be allowed on
approximately 27 miles of unimproved
service roads. Off-road hiking would be
permitted throughout the Refuge from
July 15 through February 28.
Approximately 24 percent (2,510 acres)
of Camas NWR would be open to
hunting of migratory game birds (ducks,
geese, mergansers, American coots, and
Wilson’s snipe) and upland game birds
(ring-necked pheasants, gray partridge,
and sage-grouse) during the State
seasons.
