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

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 Soil Conservation Service Regulations (7 
CFR Part 650), the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not 
being prepared for the Blanchard River Watershed, Allen, Hancock, 
Hardin, and Putnam Counties, Ohio.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

200 North High Street, room 522, Columbus, Ohio 43215, telephone (614) 
469-6962.

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, Lawrence E. Clark, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The project purposes are to improve stream flow, reduce streambank 
erosion, reduce flooding, and improve recreational uses. The planned 
works of improvement include removing 700 leaning trees, 865 logjams, 
and 29 sediment bars over a total stream length of approximately 98 
miles.
    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 
Robert L. Burris.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
Lawrence E. Clark,
State Conservationist.
