Project Profile
Current
Status:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
in cooperation with the Department of Energy (DOE) and other cooperating
agencies, initiated a formal public scoping process on June 12, 2002,
to gather input on development of a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP)
and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Hanford Reach National
Monument/Saddle Mountain National Wildlife Refuge (Monument).
Scoping is complete, and the CCP Team is moving forward with the next
step of the CCP process—considering public and agencies' comments
and drafting Preliminary Alternatives. The Preliminary Alternatives will
be distributed for public comments when completed. Comments on the Preliminary
Alternatives will be collected and considered during preparation of the
Draft CCP and EIS. The Draft CCP/EIS will be available for public review
and comment during the Summer/Fall of 2004. See
the Monument's official website for more information.
Purpose
of CCP:
As
part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, the Monument is required
to have a CCP in place to guide the management of fish and wildlife habitats,
cultural resources, and public uses for a period of 15 years. The Service
is developing the CCP in cooperation with the DOE.
Monument Location: The Hanford Reach National Monument is located on the Columbia River in eastern Washington near Richland. View a map of the Monument
