Sandy Urban Fish Pond/Park Project

Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact

    During Fiscal Year 2007, Congress appropriated funds through a 
Congressional Earmark to NRCS to provide technical and financial 
assistance to Sandy City Parks and Recreation for the Sandy Urban Fish 
Pond/Park Project. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared in 
order to make a reasoned and informed decision in selecting which 
alternative to implement and also to determine if the proposed action 
is a major federal action that would significantly affect the quality 
of the human environment. The purpose for constructing an urban fish 
pond and park is to provide an additional recreational as well as an 
educational element to Sandy City. 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 and the EA 
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 Ron Davidson. 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: October 4, 2007.
M. Ron Davidson,
Acting State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 
Utah.
