notice: 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 not 
being prepared for the Mission-Lapwai Creek Supplemental Watershed 
Protection Project, Lewis and Nez Perce Counties, Idaho.
    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, 
Paul H. Calverley, State Conservationist, has determined that the 
preparation and review of an environmental impact statement is not 
needed for this project.
    The Mission-Lapwai Creek Supplemental Watershed Protection Project 
consists of a system of land treatment and non-structural measures 
designed to protect the resource base, reduce off-site sediment, and 
improve the quality of waters entering the Clearwater River. 
Supplemental planned treatment practices include channel vegetation, 
deferred grazing, fencing, livestock exclusion, sediment basins, 
stocktrails and walkways, stockwater developments, streambank and 
shoreline protection, water and sediment control basins, and wetland 
and floodplain easements. These supplemental practices are in addition 
to the following practices already included in the original Plan/EA: 
conservation tillage (no-till), critical area planting, crop residue 
use, cross slope farming, grassed waterways, pasture and hayland 
planting, strip cropping, and terraces.
    The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency. The basic data 
developed during the environment assessment are on file and may be 
reviewed by contacting Mr. Paul H. Calverley. The FONSI has been sent 
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 address stated on the previous page.
    No administrative action on the proposal will be initiated until 30 
days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register.

    Dated: August 25, 1994.

Deputy State Convervationist.
