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 not being prepared for the Broad 
Creek Watershed, Sussex County, Delaware.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elesa K. Cottrell, State 
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Suite 
101, 1203 College Park Dr., Dover, Delaware 19904-8713, telephone (302)

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, Elesa K. Cottrell, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not needed for this project.
    This watershed protection plan is a plan for water quality 
improvement and watershed protection within the Broad Creek watershed. 
This will be accomplished through accelerated technical and financial 
assistance to plan and install needed conservation measures. These 
measures include agricultural waste management systems, waste storage 
structures, livestock composters, nutrient management, conservation 
buffers, and irrigation water management.
    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 and planning phase of this project are on file 
and may be reviewed by contacting Paul M. Petrichenko, Assistant State 
Conservationist, at the above address.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
