DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Natural Resources Conservation Service


Middle Deep Red Run Watershed, Tillman, Kiowa, and Comanche 
Counties, Oklahoma

AGENCY: Natural Resources Conservation Service, DOA.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an 
environmental impact statement is being prepared for Middle Deep Red 
Run Watershed, Tillman, Kiowa, and Comanche Counties, Oklahoma.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ronnie L. Clark, State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation 
Service, 100 USDA, Suite 203, Stillwater, Oklahoma, 74074-2655, 
telephone: 405-742-1204.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project may cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Ronnie L. Clark, State Conservationist, has 
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement is needed for this project.
    The project concerns a plan for flood prevention and fish and 
wildlife. Alternatives under consideration to reach these objectives 
include systems for conservation land treatment and earth dams.
    A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared and 
circulated for review by agencies and the public. The Natural Resources 
Conservation Service invites participation and consultation of agencies 
and individuals that have special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or 
interest in the preparation of the draft environmental impact 
statement. Meetings will be held in Tillman County to evaluate the 
proposed action. Further information on the proposed action may be 
obtained from Ronnie L. Clark, State Conservationist, at the above 
address or telephone number.

(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.)

    Dated: January 9, 1997.
