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

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, Roger A. Hansen, State Conservationist, has 
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement are not needed for this project. The project purposes are to 
rehabilitate the existing Structure B-2 in order to comply with state 
and federal dam safety regulations and maintain flood damage 
reductions. The planned works of improvement include widening the 
auxiliary spillway, lowering the control section of the auxiliary 
spillway, and lowering the inlet of the principal spillway. 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
