    The project consists of the installation of a set of culverts under 
Highway 384 at its intersection of Black Bayou. The culverts would re-
establish a hydrologic connection in Black Bayou at Highway 384 to help 
give relieve to high water conditions within the fresh water marsh 
basin.
    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 
Bruce Lehto, Assistant State Conservationist/Water Resources, Natural 
Resources Conservation Service, 3737 Government Street, Alexandria, 
Louisiana 71302, telephone (318) 473-7756.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

Assistance under NO.10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood 
Prevention, and is subject to the provision of Executive Order
