DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Central Sonoma Watershed, Sonoma County, California
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 Supplemental
Watershed Agreement No. 7 for the Central Sonoma Watershed, Sonoma
County, California.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luana Kiger, Special Assistant to the
State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 430 G
Street, Davis, California, 95616-4164, telephone (530) 792-5661.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this
federally assisted action indicates that the modifications to the
project will not cause significant local, regional, or national impacts
on the environment. As a result of these findings, Charles W. Bell,
State Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review
of an environmental impact statement are not needed for this action.
The original project purpose was flood prevention. Supplement No. 7
will add fish and wildlife development as a second purpose. The
proposed work involves reconstructing 1,100 feet of flood channel to
improve its fish habitat characteristics.
The Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to
the Environmental Protection Agency and to various Federal, State, and
local agencies. 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 Luana Kiger, Special Assistant to the 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.
(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: August 14, 2003.

State Conservationist.
