AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA.
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 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 the Sixmile-
St. Charles Watershed Project, Pueblo County, Colorado.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allen Green, State Conservationist,
Natural Resources Conservation Service, 655 Parfet St., Lakewood,
Colorado, 80215-5517, telephone (970) 544-2810.
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, Allen Green, State Conservationist, has
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact
statement is not needed for this project.
The project purpose is to reduce nitrates, selenium, sediment and
other pollutant loading to the Arkansas River due to ineffective
irrigation water utilization. The planned works of improvement include
on-farm underground irrigation pipelines, on-farm concrete irrigation
ditches, and structures for water control. These enduring practices are
accompanied by facilitating management practices such as Irrigation
Water Management and Nutrient Management.
The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) 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 FNSI 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 Allen Green.
No administration 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. 10904, Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention, and is subject to the provisions of Executive Order
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and
local officials).
