corridor and flood plain.

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 
Michael D. Wells, Assistant State Conservationist (WR).
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal
