Draft Environmental Impact Statement--North Bank Habitat
Management Area

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is given that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
Roseburg District, has prepared an EIS/HMP that evaluates the
environmental impacts of management on the 6,580 acre North Bank
Habitat Management Area (NBHMA). This plan was necessary to form a
basis for the management of habitat for the Columbian white-tailed deer
(a federally listed ``endangered'' species), as well as rare plants and
other sensitive species of wildlife. The EIS/HMP also identifies
recreational opportunities and habitat restoration projects. The effect
of this action would be to meet criteria in the Recovery Plan required
for delisting the Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD). The NBHMA is
approximately five miles east of Wilbur, Oregon on County Road 200
(North Bank Road).

DATES: Written comments will be accepted until February 28, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to the District Manager, Roseburg
District, Bureau of Land Management, 777 NW Garden Valley Blvd.,
Roseburg, Oregon 97470; Attention NBHMA Project.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ralph Klein (541) 440-4930.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EIS was written in cooperation with the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.

    Dated: January 3, 2000.
