The project purpose is continued flood prevention. The planned works of improvement include upgrading an existing floodwater retarding structure. The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and to various Federal, State, and local agencies and interest parties. A limited number of the FONSI 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 Jimmy Bramblett at the above number. No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register. Introduction The Haynes Creek—Brushy Fork Creek Watershed is a federally assisted action authorized for planning under Public Law 106–472, the Watershed Rehabilitation Act, which amends Public Law 83–566, the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. An environmental assessment was undertaken in conjunction with development of the watershed plan. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33731 This assessment was conducted in consultation with local, State, and Federal agencies as well as with interested organizations and individuals. Data developed during the assessment are available for public review at the following location: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 355 East Hancock Avenue, Athens, Georgia 30601. Recommended Action This document describes a plan for upgrading an existing floodwater retarding structure, Haynes Creek— Brushy Fork Creek Watershed Structure No. 3, to meet current dam safety criteria in Georgia. The plan calls for construction of a roller compacted concrete spillway over the embankment of the existing earthen dam. Works of improvement will be accomplished by providing financial and technical assistance through an eligible local sponsor. The principal project measures are to: 1. Construct a 220-foot wide roller compacted concrete (RCC) chute spillway to protect underlying soil materials from erosion during overtopping. The RCC will be constructed with an ogee at elevation 951.7 ft. MSL. This constructed auxiliary spillway is designed to bring the existing dam into compliance with current dam safety criteria in Georgia. The current auxiliary spillway will be removed from service. 2. The measures will be planned and installed by developing a contract with the current operator of the dam. Effects of Recommended Action Installing a roller compacted concrete spillway will bring Haynes Creek— Brushy Fork Creek Watershed Structure No. 3 into compliance with current dam safety criteria. This will essentially eliminate the risk to loss of life for individuals in 17 homes and 8 roads downstream. Additional effects will include continued protection against flooding, continued water quality benefits, continued fishing activities, continued recreational opportunities, protected land values, protected road and utility networks, and reduced maintenance costs for public infrastructure. Wildlife habitat will not be disturbed during installation activities. No wetlands, wildlife habitat, fisheries, prime farmland, or cultural resources will be destroyed or threatened by this project. Some 13 acres of wetland and wetland type wildlife habitat will be preserved. Fishery habitats will also be maintained. E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM 09JNN1
