measures such as conservation tillage, grassed waterways, filter
strips, animal waste facilities, cover crops, watering facilities,
grade stabilizations, and nutrient management plans.
The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and 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 revised by contracting Patrick Wolf.
No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
Register.
