Wahoo Creek Watershed, Saunders County, NE

AGENCY: Soil Conservation Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR part 1500); and the Soil Conservation Service Guidelines (7 CFR 
part 650); the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is 
being prepared for Wahoo Creek Watershed, Saunders County, Nebraska.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ronald E. Moreland, State Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, 
Federal Building, room 152, 100 Centennial Mall North; Lincoln, NE 
68508-3866; telephone: (402) 437-5300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project may cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Ronald E. Moreland, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement is needed for this project.

    The project concerns a plan for flood prevention, water quality and 
recreation improvement. Alternatives under consideration to reach these 
objectives include systems for conservation land treatment, structural 
measures, and non-structural measures.
    A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared and 
circulated for review by agencies and the public. The Soil Conservation 
Service invites participation and consultation of agencies and 
individuals that have a special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or 
interest in the preparation of the draft environmental impact 
statement. Meetings will be held at various locations within the 
watershed and announced thirty days prior to date to be held to 
determine the scope of the evaluation of the proposed action. Further 
information on the proposed action or the scoping meetings may be 
obtained from Ronald E. Moreland, State Conservationist, at the above 
address or telephone (402) 437-5300.
