    COMPATIBILITY DETERMINATION USE: Hunting (Migratory Birds, Upland and Big Game) REFUGE NAME: Havasu National Wildlife Refuge (NWR/refuge) ESTABLISHING AND ACQUISITION AUTHORITIES: Havasu NWR, originally known as Havasu Lake NWR, was established by Executive Order 8647 on January 22, 1941, by President Franklin Roosevelt. REFUGE PURPOSE(S): For lands acquired under Executive Order 8647 "...as a refuge and breeding grounds for migratory birds and other wildlife...” For lands acquired under the Refuge Recreation Act “...suitable for (1) incidental fish and wildlife-oriented recreational development, (2) the protection of natural resources, (3) the conservation of endangered species or threatened species..." For lands acquired under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act "...for the development, advancement, management, conservation, and protection of fish and wildlife resources...for the benefit of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service [Service], in performing its activities and services. Such acceptance may be subject to the terms of any restrictive or affirmative covenant, or condition of servitude...” Additional lands totaling 2,757 acres were subsequently added on February 11, 1949, per Public Land Order 559. The purpose of these additional acres was the same as the purpose set out in Executive Order 8647. The Lower Colorado River Land Use Plan (USDOI 1964) describes the high wildlife values of Topock Marsh, Topock Gorge, and the Bill Williams River. The document describes their “prime wildlife values” and expresses a need to “improve

  • West Wide Energy Corridors Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement – Talking Points
    West Wide Energy Corridors Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement – Talking Points The proposed designations in Draft Programmatic EIS (PEIS) will have significant impacts to wildlife habitat, cultural resources, recreation opportunities, and many other resources on federal lands across the west. Once designated, the corridors (averaging 3500 feet wide but ranging up to 5 miles in width) will cover 6,000 miles and almost 3 million acres of public lands. Areas within the designated corridors are essentially deemed appropriate for pipelines and powerlines, with expedited construction applications and limited environmental review. With large-scale buildup likely within these corridors - the PEIS contemplates that about 9 individual 500-kv transmission lines, as many as 35 liquid petroleum pipelines or up to 29 natural gas pipelines could be supported within a single 3,500-foot- wide corridor – public involvement in the planning process is crucial to ensure that the designation of these corridors is a positive step for our public lands. Key points to raise at public meetings include: By taking the responsibility to move forward with a process to designate large swaths of our federal lands as places for oil, gas and hydrogen pipelines and power lines, the government also took on the responsibility of doing it right. Doing it right would involve ensuring that: new pipelines or powerlines are actually needed – agencies should analyze the potential to meet growing energy demands through increased energy efficiency, distributed generation and maximizing the use of the existing power grid through technology upgrades before turning to additional or wider corridors on our public land; federal lands are necessary locations and special or sensitive public lands are avoided altogether – agencies should continue analyzing impacts to special public lands and moving corridors to avoid them.

This BCO addresses the effects to 27 species for which six Federal agencies and 24 Permit Applicants from Arizona, California, and Nevada requested incidental take coverage under section 7 and section 10 of the Endangered Species Act. The BCO determined that the proposed actions described herein are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of listed, candidate, or other covered species, and are not likely to destroy or adversely modify designated or proposed critical habitat. Because this document is lengthy with many sections, we have provided a table of contents to assist in locating specific areas of the BCO. The official signature page for this BCO is located after the Reinitiation Notice on page 138. We appreciate the efforts of the staff at the Bureau of Reclamation and the Southwest Regional Office of the Fish and Wildlife Service in preparing this document.
