Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact 
(FONSI) on the Final Environmental Assessment for the Diamond Fork 
System 2002 Proposed Action Modifications.

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

SUMMARY: On March 29, 2002, Ronald Johnston, Program Director, Central 
Utah Project Completion Act Office, Department of the Interior 
(Interior), signed the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) which 
documents the selection of the Proposed Action Modifications as 
presented in the Final Environmental Assessment for the Diamond Fork 
System 2002 Proposed Action Modifications (2002 Modifications EA). 
Interior has determined that implementing the modifications to the 
Proposed Action Alternative described in the 2002 Modifications EA will 
not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment 
and that an environmental impact statement is not required.
    The following features will be constructed as part of the 
modifications to the Proposed Action: (1) Sixth Water Connection; (2) 
Tanner Ridge Tunnel; (3) Upper Diamond Fork Pipeline; (4) Upper Diamond 
Fork Flow Control Structure; (5) Upper Diamond Fork Shafts; (6) 
Aeration Chamber and Connection to Upper Diamond Fork Tunnel; (7) Upper 
Diamond Fork Tunnel; and (8) Diamond Fork Flow Control Faciility.
    The Proposed Action Modifications will be operated on an interim 
basis the same as described in the July 1999 Diamond Fork System Final 
Supplement to the Final Environmental Impact Statement, including the 
quantity and timing of minimum streamflows and the flexibility to other 
operational scenarios, except for the dischange location of the minimum 
streamflows into Diamond Fork Creek. The potential for generating

hydroelectric power would remain the same as described in the FS-FEIS.
