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 
Rules (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation Service,

Natural Resources Conservation Service; 200 North High Street, Room 
522, Columbus, Ohio 43215; telephone 614-255-2500.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national effects on the human 
environment. As a result of these findings, Kevin Brown, State 
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an 
environmental impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The project purpose is flood prevention. The action includes the 
rehabilitation of one floodwater-retarding dam. The Notice of a Finding 
of No Significant Impact (FNSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental 
Protection Agency; various Federal, state and local agencies; and 
interested parties. A limited number of copies of the FNSI are 
available to fill single copy requests at the above address. Basic data 
developed during the environmental assessment is on file and may be 
reviewed by contacting Kevin Brown.
    No administrative action on implementation of the preferred 
alternative will be taken until 30 days after the date of this 
publication in the Federal Register.

Kevin Brown,
State Conservationist.
