SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of the 
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, Kevin D. Norton, State Conservationist, has 
determined that preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement is not needed for this project.
    The project is expected to creation, protect, and/or restore 675 
net acres of emergent marsh over 20 years. The proposed project 
consists of installing approximately 6,520 feet of foreshore rock dike 
along the southern bank of Bayou Chene at its intersection with Bayou 
Penchant, creating 35 acres of marsh along the southern bank of Bayou 
Chene at its intersection with Bayou Penchant, installing 10-
48''corrugated metal pipe with flap gates in Superior Canal at the 
Mauvais Bois ridge, installing one steel sheetpile weir with a 10 ft. 
wide boat bay and six flap gated openings at Brady Canal, installing 
approximately 12,000 feet of bankline maintenance on the north bank of 
Bayou Decade from Lake Decade to Turtle Bayou, installing approximately 
14,000 feet of earthen embankment on the north bank of Bayou Decade 
from Voss Canal to Lost Lake, and two sheetpile weirs with 10 ft. wide 
boat bays along the north bank of Bayou Decade.
    The Notice of 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 collected during the 
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
Kevin D. Norton.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

State Conservationist.
