ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 CFR part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service Guidelines (7 CFR part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, is giving notice that an environmental impact statement (EIS) will be prepared for the Dunloup Creek Watershed of the New River Watershed, Fayette and Raleigh Counties, West Virginia. The EIS will evaluate potential impacts to the natural, physical and human environment as a result of the flood damage reduction measures proposed for the 100-year floodplain in the Dunloup Creek Watershed, Fayette and Raleigh Counties, West Virginia. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald L. Hilliard, State Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 75 High Street, Room 301, Morgantown, West Virginia 26505, telephone (304) 284–7545. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Floodwater damage and critical area erosion in the Dunloup Creek watershed were the initial impetus for a study in 1965 when local sponsors applied for Federal assistance under Public Law 566—The Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act. Several years of study resulted in the preparation of a Watershed Plan—EIS in 1976. Further project activities were terminated in 1984 by mutual agreement between the former Soil Conservation Service (now NRCS) and the local project sponsors due to utility and land-rights issues. In 1996, due to recurring flooding in the watershed, a new application was submitted by the local sponsors and NRCS re-initiated planning assistance. The planning effort resulted in the preparation of a Local Implementation Plan in December 1998. The Plan provided alternatives for local implementation without PL–566 costsharing and without full analysis of the hydraulic, environmental, economic and cultural concerns associated with alternatives. No further action was taken by the local sponsors with regard to implementing the 1998 Plan. In August 2001, following flood events of July 2001, local sponsors requested additional planning assistance for the Dunloup Creek watershed under PL–566. The current work will document alternatives evaluated to reduce flooding and related damages in the Dunloup Creek watershed, including: Upstream floodwater retarding impoundments, channel modifications, diking, land E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM 14SEN1
