The Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge Complex manages Lake Andes NWR, Karl E. Mundt NWR, and Lake Andes Wetland Management District. Refuge staff are responsible for over 150,000 acres of vital habitat protected through a combination of fee title ownership and conservation easements, spread across 6 counties.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes to build a new headquarters and visitor center which will serve as a new base of operations and provide space to offer environmental education programs on other community outreach events.

The draft EA is available for review on the Lake Andes NWR website (https:// www.fws.gov/refuge/lake_andes/).
