The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game are proposing to restore to tidal action 1,400 acres of former salt ponds on Bair Island, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the Bair Island State Ecological Reserve in South San Francisco Bay. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) has been prepared jointly by the Service and the California Department of Fish and Game to analyze the impacts of the restoration plan and is available for public review. All comments received, including names and addresses, will become part of the official administrative record and may be made available to the public. The analyses provided in the Draft EIS/EIR are intended to inform the public of our proposed action, alternatives, and associated impacts; address public comments received during the scoping period for the Draft EIS/EIR; disclose the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of the proposed action and each of the alternatives; and indicate any irreversible commitment of resources that would result from implementation of the proposed action. A public meeting will be held in Redwood Cit
