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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations 
(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 
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the Alma Mill 
Creek Watershed, Buffalo County, Wisconsin.

For Further Information Contact: Patricia S. Leavenworth, State 
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 6515 Watts 
Road, Suite 200, Madison, Wisconsin, 53719. Telephone (608) 276-8732.

Supplementary Information: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Patricia S. Leavenworth, State 
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an 
environmental impact statement are not needed for this project.

    The project purposes are gully, sediment and flood control. The 
planned works of improvement include the repair of pipe separations in 
the principal spillway of structures 2, 3 and 5, and removal of 
sediment from all three structures. Enactment of a county floodplain 
zoning ordinance will restrict future development within the hydraulic 
shadow of all three structures.
    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 Sheryl B. Paczwa.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

Patricia S. Leavenworth,
State Conservationist.
