Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Regulations ((7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an

for further information contact: Earl Cosby, State Conservationist, 
Natural Resources Conservation Service, Federal Building, Box 13, 355 
East Hancock Avenue, Athens, Georgia 30601; telephone: 706-546-2116.

supplementary information: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action, developed by the Natural Resources 
Conservation Service, indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment.
    As a result of these findings, Earl Cosby, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not needed for this Project.
    The project purpose is watershed protection for improvement of 
water quality and includes reduction of agricultural animal waste 
related pollution. The planned improvements include cost sharing and 
technical assistance to:
    Develop and install approximately 97 animal waste management 
systems covering 20,800 acres of pastureland and adjoining stream 
banks. Systems will include all or parts of the following: fencing, 
cross fencing with gates, alternative livestock water supply with 
piping and troughs, stream crossings, filter strips, and heavy use 
protection areas, solid waste stack facilities and dead bird composters 
on 55 beef, 15 poultry and 27 beef-poultry operations to control and 
utilize manure.
    Conservation management with nutrient and grazing land management 
practices will be used when applying animal waste.
    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 
Earl Cosby.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: February 23, 1995.

(This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance under No. 10.904--Watershed Protection and Flood 
Prevention--and is subject to the provisions of Executive Order 
12372 which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and 
local officials.)

State Conservationist.
