SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
(40 CFR Part 1500); and the Soil Conservation Service Regulations (7
CFR Part 650), the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not

200 North High Street, room 522, Columbus, Ohio 43215, telephone (614)
469-6962.
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, Lawrence E. Clark, 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 improve stream flow, reduce streambank
erosion, reduce flooding, and improve recreational uses. The planned
works of improvement include removing 700 leaning trees, 865 logjams,
and 29 sediment bars over a total stream length of approximately 98
miles.
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
Robert L. Burris.
No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
Register.
Lawrence E. Clark,
State Conservationist.
