SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of action 
indicates that the project will not cause significant local, regional,

and wildlife habitat, and irrigation. The planned works of improvement 
include five pumping plants, four low water weirs, one weir with 
taintor gates, 1.8 miles of concrete flume, 8.8 miles of earthen 
channel, and 1.6 miles of buried pipe. Forty-six miles of existing 
ditches will be used for water conveyance.
    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 
Thomas H. Wehri. No administrative action on implementation of the 
proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication 
in the Federal Register.
