Draft EISs

    ERP No. D-FHW-K40207-CA Rating LO, CA-41 Route Adoption of 
Alignment Project, between El Paso Avenue and CA-145, Funding, Right-
of-Way Acquisition and COE Section 404 Permit, Fresno and Madera 
Counties, CA.
    Summary: EPA expressed a lack of objections with the draft EIS, it 
noted that the rating does not preclude EPA from having future comments 
on site-specific environmental impacts and mitigation that may be 
identified or required during the Tier II NEPA review.
    ERP No. DR-COE-K35035-CA Rating EO2, San Gabriel Canyon Sediment 
Management Plan, Dredging and Disposal of Sediments, Revised 
Information, COE Section 404 Permit, Special Use Permit and Right-of-
Entry Issuance, Angeles National Forest, San Gabriel River, Los Angeles 
County, CA.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental objections due to potential 
adverse impacts to riparian habitat, aquatic biota, biodiversity and 
water quality. EPA recommended that upstream sediment management 
techniques and reservoir operation be included to help avoid potential 
adverse impacts.

Final EISs

    ERP No. F-COE-G30013-LA West Bank of the Mississippi River 
Hurricane Protection Plan, Implementation, east of the Harvey Canal,

    Summary: EPA had no objection to the proposed action.

I-430 Interchange around the North Little Rock Metropolitan Area, 
Funding, Pulaski County, AR.
    Summary: EPA concurs with the selection of Alternative 1 as the 
preferred alternative. Based upon our review of the information 
presented, we find that all areas of EPA responsibilities and concerns 
have been adequately addressed in the final EIS.
    ERP No. F-NRC-G06008-LA Claiborne Uranium Enrichment Center, 
Construction and Operation, (NUREG-1482), NPDES Permit and Licensing, 
Homer, Claiborne Parish, LA.
    Summary: EPA expressed environmental concern that the analysis did 
not provide assurance that the facility siting and operation would not 
result in significant disproportionate adverse impact upon the local 
communities.
