Review of Draft Scoping Document, Devils Lake, North Dakota, 
Emergency Outlet

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental impact 
Statement for an outlet from Devils Lake to the Sheyenne River in North 
Dakota was published in the Federal Register on 21 October 1997.
    As part of the National Environmental Policy Act process, the Corps 
of Engineers has conducted agency and public meetings on the project. 
Based on the results of those meetings and comments received in 
response to the meetings, the Corps of Engineers has prepared a draft 
Scoping Document for the project. The Scoping Document identifies the 
concerns and alternatives that will be addressed in the Environmental 
impact Statement and defines the geographic scope of the study.
    The draft Scoping Document is being distributed for public and 
agency review, after which a final Scoping Document will be prepared. 
The comment period and the address for submitting comments will be 
identified in the document. We anticipate the comment period will end 
about 28 August 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions concerning the Scoping Document can be directed to: 
Lieutenant Colonel William J. Breyfogle, District Engineer, St. Paul 
District, Corps of Engineers, ATTN: Mr. Robert Whiting, 190 Fifth 
Street East, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101-1638.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We anticipate that the Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement will be available to the public in the fall of 1999. 
The Environmental Impact Statement would be supplemented as 
appropriate.

    Dated: June 26, 1998.
William J. Breyfogle,
Lieutenant Colonel, Corps of Engineers, District Engineer.
