NOTICE: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40

Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, give notice that an
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the Jump Creek
Water Quality Planning Project, Owyhee County, Idaho.
The Plan/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,
Luana E. Kiger, State Conservationist, has determined that the
preparation and review of an environmental impact statement was not
needed for this project.
The Jump Creek Water Quality Planning Project consists of a system
of land treatment measures designed to protect the resource base,
reduce off-site sediment, and improve the quality of waters entering
Jump Creek and the Snake River. Planned land treatment practices
include pasture and hayland planting, critical area planting, sediment
basins, nutrient and pesticide management, streambank protection,
conservation tillage, fencing, waste management systems, livestock
grazing management, sprinkler and surge irrigation systems, and channel
vegetation.
The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency. The basic data
developed during the plan/environmental assessment are on file and may
be reviewed by contacting Luana E. Kiger. The FONSI has been sent 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 address stated on the previous page.
No administrative action on the proposal will be initiated until 30
days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register.
Dated: October 26, 1995.

State Conservationist.
