-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
(40 CFR part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service
Rules (7 CFR part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental
impact statement is not being prepared for the rehabilitation project
for Floodwater Retarding Structure 2 in the Margaret Creek Watershed.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Brown; State Conservationist;
Natural Resources Conservation Service; 200 North High Street, Room
522, Columbus, Ohio 43215; telephone 614-255-2500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause
significant local, regional, or national effects on the human
environment. As a result of these findings, Kevin Brown, State
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an
environmental impact statement are not needed for this project. The
project purpose is flood prevention. The action includes a combination
of widening the emergency spillway by 150 feet and utilizing this fill
to raise the dam approximately 2.5 feet. The Notice of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FNSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental
Protection Agency; various Federal, state and local agencies; and
interested parties. A limited number of copies of the FNSI are
available to fill single copy requests at the above address. Basic data
developed during the environmental assessment is on file and may be
reviewed by contacting Kevin Brown.
No administrative action on implementation of the preferred
alternative will be taken until 30 days after the date of this
publication in the Federal Register.
Kevin Brown,
State Conservationist.
