construction of a wind turbine at the Laredo Job Corps Center will have 
no significant environmental impact. This Preliminary Finding of No 
Significant Impact (FONSI) will be made available for public review and 
comment for a period of 30 days.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by October 1, 2009.

    The wind turbine will be installed on a self supporting tower 
approximately 120' above the ground. The wind turbines will produce 
clean energy for the Laredo Job Corps center, demonstrate renewable 
energy capabilities to Job Corps Students and help the program meet 
Federal requirements in Executive Order 13423 for renewable energy 
production.

1701 Island Street, Laredo, Texas will not create any significant 
adverse impacts on the environment.
