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

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 Resource Conservation Service 
Regulations (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resource Conservation 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an 
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the Canon City 
C-4 Dam Repair Project, Fremont County, Colorado.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allen Green, Colorado State 
Conservationist, Natural Resource Conservation Service, 655 Parfet St., 
Lakewood, Colorado, 80215-5517, telephone (720) 544-2810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action documents that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the human 
environment. The findings of Allen Green, State Conservationist, 
indicate that the preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement is not needed for this project.
    The project purpose is to restore the integrity of the C-4 Canon 
City watershed protection dam to the safety provided by the originally 
installed condition. The planned work consists of removing a portion of 
the upstream embankment slope to permit installation of a sloping 
filter consisting of imported aggregates and geotextile. Existing 
cracks and voids will be filled with fine aggregate to the extent 
feasible, and the embankment will be restored to its original line and 
grade using the soil removed from the upstream slope. These repairs 
meet current standards & specifications for dam safety and design.
    This 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. Copies of the 
FONSI and Plan/Environmental Assessment are available by request from 
Allen Green, Colorado State Conservationist. Basic data developed 
during the environmental evaluation are on file

    No administrative action on implementation of this project will be 
taken until 30 days after the date this Notice is published in the 
Federal Register.
