Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 137 / Tuesday, July 18, 2006 / Notices The purpose of the project is agricultural irrigation water management. The proposed plan consists of a pump station and pipeline that will allow transfer of water from the Red River to Red Bayou thus providing a dependable source of irrigation water to farmers in the project area. Associated land treatment measures will increase the efficiency of existing irrigation systems, reduce erosion and sedimentation rates, improve water quality and provide incidental opportunities to improve wildlife and fisheries habitat. 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 Donald W. Gohmert. No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register. Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist. [FR Doc.
