The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , Northeast Region, is
pleased to announce the release of the Lake Umbagog National
Wildlife Refuge - Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement (CCP/EIS).
You are receiving this email because you submitted comments
to us when the draft plan was released last year.  The final
plan is now out for review until January 5, 2009.

You can view or download the final CCP/EIS or its Summary
from the following website:

The website also provides information on how you can obtain
a copy of the documents on cd-rom or in hardcopy. It also
directs you to a newsletter with highlights of the plan, and
includes an invitation to our open house on Tuesday,
December 16, 2008 at the Errol Town Hall, in Errol, New
Hampshire from 7-9 pm.

If you choose to review the plan in detail, we would like to
direct your attention to Appendix O, "Summary of Public
Comments and Service Responses on the Draft Comprehensive
Conservation Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the
Lake Umbagog National Wildlife Refuge." This appendix (87
pages) provides our responses to the more than 14,000
letters/emails/oral testimony comments we received.

Thank you for your interest in this project!

Sincerely,

Paul Casey, Refuge Manager
