8.A. - Page 329 <br /> buildings on the subject easement. Accordingly, I determined that the proposed use of the <br /> subject casement as a public trail is consistent with the Compatibility lDetcrmination for Wildlife <br /> Observation and Photography, published in the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National <br /> Wildlif Refirge Comprehensive Conservation Plan (October 2012), which concluded that <br /> wildlife observation and photography activities conducted on foot (e.g., walking, hiking,jogging) <br /> and bicycling on designated trails will not materially interfere with or detract from the fulfillment <br /> of the National Wildlife Refuge System mission or the purposes of the Refuge. <br /> Therefore I confirm that the Service is not opposed to the proposed use of the subject easement <br /> since it would continue to facilitate opportunities for the public to enjoy wildlife-oriented <br /> recreation and nature study, consistent with the purposes of the Refuge. My authority to evaluate <br /> and determine the compatibility of a use on the Refuge is delegated by the Service Director to me <br /> as the Refuge Manager under Service Policy, Part 603 National Wildlife Refuge System Uses, <br /> Chapter 2, Compatibility (http://www.fws.govlpolicy/603fw2.html). <br /> If you have any additional questions regarding this matter, please contact me at <br /> anne_morkill @fws.gav or(510) 792-0222 (Extension 123). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> r <br /> Anne E. Morkill <br /> Refuge Manager <br /> San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex <br />
