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

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, Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental 
impact statement is not being prepared for the Twin Parks Watershed, 
Iowa County, Wisconsin.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Krapf, Water Resources Staff 
Leader, 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 purpose is flood prevention. The planned works of 
improvement include: the repair of a pipe separation in Twin Parks 
Structure Number 10, the raising of the dam an average of one foot to 
meet current freeboard guidelines, and the enactment of a county 
floodplain zoning ordinance which restricts future development within 
the hydraulic shadow of Structure Number 10.
    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 
Thomas Krapf.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: July 24, 2002.
Patricia S. Leavenworth,
State Conservationist.
