the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969; the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR part 1500);

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Environmental Assessment of this
federally assisted action documents that
the project will not cause significant
local, regional, state, or national impacts
on the human environment. The
findings of Sylvia Gillen, State
Conservationist, indicate that the
preparation and review of an
environmental impact statement is not
needed for this project.
The objectives of the proposed project
are:
• To decrease the amount of water
loss from the canal caused through
seepage.
• To decrease the potential liability
associated with the canal washing out
and the resulting flooding.
• To increase public safety by piping
the canal.
The proposed action is to replace the
St. George and Washington Canal with
a buried pipeline. The existing concrete
canal lining would be removed and a
pipeline would be placed in the existing
trench. Approximately 9 miles of
pipeline would be welded together and
then lifted and placed into the canal
alignment.
Copies of the FONSI and
Environmental Assessment are available
by request from Sylvia Gillen, Utah
State Conservationist. Basic data
developed during the environmental
evaluation are on file and may be
