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 Brandywine Creek Watershed, Supplemental
Watershed Plan No. 6 in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Richard N. Duncan, State Conservationist, Soil Conservation
Service, One Credit Union Place, Suite 340, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
17110-2993, telephone (717) 782-2202.
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, Richard N. Duncan, State Conservationist,
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental
impact statement is not needed for this project.
The purpose of this project is to purchase 105 acres located
adjacent to the Hibernia Lake Project at the Birch Run Structure (PA-
436F) in order to expand the recreational facilities in the area. These
facilities would include access roads, boat ramps, fishing piers, a
ranger station, sanitary facilities, campgrounds, picnic tables and a
maintenance and storage area. Additional land is needed to provide
adequate access to the lake for fishing, boating, camping, hiking and
picnicking.
The ``Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact'' (FONSI) has
been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency. A limited number
of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy requests at
the above address. The environmental assessment and basic data may be
reviewed by contacting Richard N. Duncan.
No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be
taken until thirty (30) days after the date of this publication in the
Federal Register.
(This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Program 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.)
Dated: September 14, 1994.
