SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 3(d)(1) of the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act, the USDA Forest Service announces the completion and 
availability of the comprehensive river management plan for Black Butte 
Wild and Scenic River, including portions of Cold Creek. On May 11, 
2018, Acting Mendocino Forest Supervisor, Gar Abbas signed a decision 
notice to adopt a comprehensive river management plan (``CRMP'') for 
Black Butte Wild and Scenic River (including Cold Creek). The Black 
Butte Wild and Scenic River CRMP (including Cold Creek) addresses 
resource protection, development of lands and facilities, user 
capacities, and other management practices necessary or desirable to 
achieve the purposes of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. This CRMP was 
prepared after consultation with State and local governments and the 
interested public. An environmental assessment (EA) was prepared as 
part of the CRMP development. This EA has been prepared in compliance 
with the National Environmental Policy Act and other relevant federal 
laws and regulations. The EA discloses the direct, indirect, and 
cumulative environmental effects that would result from adopting the 
CRMP.
