Environmental Impact Statement for the Federal Flood Control Project 
For Hunting Bayou, Harris County, TX

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of intent; Withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Galveston District, 
is issuing this notice to advise Federal, state, and local government 
agencies and the public that the Corps is withdrawing its Notice of 
Intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 
for the reformulation of a new flood damage reduction plan for the 
Hunting Bayou watershed in Houston, Harris County, TX.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carolyn Murphy, Chief, Environmental 
Section at (409) 766-3044 or by mail at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 
P.O. Box 1229, Galveston, TX 77553-1229. Email address: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corps of Engineers published a notice of 
intent to prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement in the 
August 30, 2002 issue of the Federal Register (67 FR 55824). Since that 
time, public and resource agency involvement through meetings, changes 
in plan formulation, and re-evaluation of the project have reduced the 
magnitude and extent of proposed flood damage reduction remedies and 
associated environmental impacts to the point that an SEIS is no longer 
necessary or required. Therefore the Corps has decided to document, 
evaluate, and further coordinate project impacts in an Environmental 
Assessment.

Chief, Planning and Environmental Branch.
