Environmental Assessment: Management of Aquatic Invasive Plans on Sacramento NWR Complex, San Luis NWR Complex, and Stone Lakes NWR

This Environmental Assessment (EA) evaluates two action alternatives and a no action alternative for the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) Complex, San Luis NWR Complex, and Stone Lakes NWR, collectively referred to as the "Covered Refuges." The proposed action would implement comprehensive integrated pest management (IPM) methods to manage aquatic invasive plant species on fee-title, easement, and agreement lands, as well as on other water features within a 0.5-mile radius of the Covered Refuges. The purpose of the proposed action is to contain or suppress the aquatic invasive plants growing on the Covered Refuges to minimize their direct or indirect effects on priority species and habitats.
