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, Tomas M. Dominquez, Acting State 
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an 
environmental impact statement is not needed for this project.
    The project will rehabilitate Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 3C 
to maintain the present level of flood control benefits and comply with 
the current performance and safety standards.
    Rehabilitation of the site will require the disturbance of 3.59 
acres. A new 30 inch principal spilllway and an additional auxiliary 
spillway 180 feet wide will be installed. The disturbed areas will be 
planted to plants that have wildlife values. The proposed work will not 
affect any prime farmland, endangered or threatened species, wetlands, 
or cultural resources.
    Federal assistance will be provided under authority of the Small 
Watershed Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000 (Section 313, Pub. L. 106-
472). Total project costs is estimated to be $1,215,700, of which 
$790,205 will be paid from the Small Watershed Rehabilitation funds and 
$425,495 from local funds.
    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 
Tomas M. Dominquez, Acting State Conservationist.
    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 13, 2002.

Acting State Conservationist.
