SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
(40 CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service
Regulations (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for Perry Ridge
West (CS-30), Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donald W. Gohmert, State
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737
Government Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 71302, telephone (318) 473-
7751.

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, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist,
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental
impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The purpose of the project is to ensure the stability of the 1,132
acres of interior marsh by providing bank protection of the critical
area located along the north GIWW bankline and preventing additional
breaching. Another purpose of the project is to create emergent marsh
and increase the occurrence of submerged aquatic vegetation in the
existing open water areas. The planned works of improvement include the
placement of 9,500 linear feet along the north bank of the GIWW from
Perry Ridge to the intersection of the Sabine River. An additional
2,200 feet of rock riprap will be installed from the Sabine/GIWW
intersection north along the Sabine River. Additionally 17,000 linear
feet of terraces will be constructed in the shallow open water areas
north of the GIWW.
    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
Bruce Lehto, Assistant State Conservationist/Water Resources/Rural
Development, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737 Government
Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 71302, telephone (318) 473-7756.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
Register.

(This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under 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 21, 2000.
Donald W. Gohmert,
State Conservationist.
