a result of these findings, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist,
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental
impact statement is not needed for this project.
This plan proposes to maintain and enhance wetland loss on 7,653

earthen embankment, maintenance of 21,600 linear feet of overflow
embankment, replacement of three fixed crest weirs with variable crest
sections, replacement of one fixed crest weir, construction of one
fixed crest weir with a barge bay, and two stabilized channel rock
cross-sections.
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
Donald W. Gohmert.
No administrative action in implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
Register.
