(40 CFR part 1500); the Soil Conservation Service Regulations (7 CFR
part 650); and the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
L. Pete Heard, State Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, Suite

Jackson, Mississippi 39269-1399, telephone (601) 965-5205.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As
a result of these findings, L. Pete Heard, State Conservationist, has
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact
statement are not needed for this project.
The project purposes are to reduce damage to agricultural land and
public utilities, reduce downstream damages due to sedimentation,
reduce land loss from channel instability and to reduce flooding of
crop fields. The planned works of improvement include one hundred
sixteen minor grade control (pipe) structures, eight road culvert
stabilization (rock) sites, five major grade control structures, ten
thousand linear feet of stream bank stabilization, approximately 4.7
miles of channel restoration and accelerated technical assistance for
land treatment.
The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various
Federal, State, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited
number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy
requests at the above address. Basic data developed during the
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting
L. Pete Heard.
No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
Register.
(This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under No. 10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention, and is subject to the provisions of Executive Order
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and
local officials.)

State Conservationist.
