摘要

The United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) has prepared a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) to evaluate the environmental consequences associated with providing the State of Illinois Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) grant funds. The VPA-HIP is a new program authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) that provides grants to States and tribal governments to encourage owners and operators of privately held farm, ranch, and forest land to voluntarily open land for public access for outdoor recreation activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, and other outdoor activities. Distribution of VPA-HIP funds is administered by the State or tribal government that receives the grant. The State proposes to use VPA-HIP grant funds to implement the Illinois Recreational Access Program (IRAP), a new public access program on private lands. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide incentives to Illinois landowners to permit outdoor recreationists access to their land. In Illinois, 95 percent of the land is privately owned; with more than 27 million acres (nearly 75 percent) of the total land area used as farmland. This leaves less than 2,300 square miles, or about 4.1 percent of total land area in Illinois available for outdoor recreational activities, limits access for outdoor recreation, and creates a huge demand for additional opportunities. The Proposed Action is needed to increase hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreational opportunities throughout the State. VPA-HIP funds would also allow the State to fund an IRAP Coordinator, provide contractual assistance to the Soil and Water Conservation Districts to promote the program and target and enroll landowners, make annual access lease payments, develop printed informational materials, and provide payments for hunting habitat restoration and enhancements.
