    SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental

    (40CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
    Regulations (7CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation

    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, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
    has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
    impact statement are not needed for this project.
        The purpose of the project is to ensure the stability of 1,203 
    acres of interior marsh by providing bank protection of the critical 
    area located along the north GIWW bankline and preventing additional 
    breaching. The planned works of improvement include the placement of 
    12,000 linear feet of rock dike on critical areas within a 4.25 mile 
    reach between Perry Ridge and the Vinton Drainage Canal.
        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 
    Bennett C. Landreneau, Assistant State Conservationist/Water Resources, 
    Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737 Government Street, 
    Alexandria, Louisiana, 71302, telephone (318) 473-7756.
        No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
    taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
    Register.
    
        Dated: November 7, 1996.

    State Conservationist.
