land treatment measures on cropland and rangeland fields, and the
development of animal waste systems above the dam site.
The Notice of a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various

environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting
