TE-17, Falgout Canal Demonstration Project

AGENCY: Soil Conservation Service.

ACTION: Notice of a finding of no significant impact.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Soil conservation Service Guidelines (7 CFR 
part 650); the Soil conservation Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not 
being prepared for the Falgout Canal Demonstration Project, Terrebonne 
Parish, Louisiana.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, United States Department of 
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, 3737 Government Street, 
Alexandria, Louisiana 71302; telephone [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental evaluation 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, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not necessary for this project.

    The project concerns the erosion protection and stabilization of a 
portion of the levee along the north bank of Falgout Canal. The planned 
works of improvement include the construction of wave dampening devices 
and installation of vegetative plantings on the levee berm along the 
canal bank. The wave dampening structures will reduce the erosive 
energy of marine-traffic-induced waves to allow the establishment of 
planted and naturally succeeding vegetation to stabilize the levee and 
reduce its rate of erosion.
    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 on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: August 31, 1994.
Donald W. Gohmert,
State Conservationist.
