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, Homer L. Wilkes, 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, and reduce damages to water quality and the fishery
resources in Arkabutla Reservoir by sedimentation. This will be
accomplished by reducing erosion on cropland, unstable channels and
reducing flooding on cropland. The planned works of improvement include
land treatment measures, 210 minor grade control (pipe) structures, 14
road culvert stabilization sites, eight major grade control structures,
17,000 linear feet of structural stream bank stabilization, 15,000
linear feet of bank stabilization with vegetation, 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
[[Page 25690]] the environmental assessment are on file and may be
reviewed by contacting Homer L. Wilkes.
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.)
