ACTION: Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Plum Creek FRS #18 Draft Supplemental Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment. AGENCY: The Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Kentucky State Office, gives notice that a draft supplemental watershed plan/environmental assessment for the rehabilitation of Plum Creek FRS #18 is now available for public review and comment. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacob Kuhn, Acting State Conservationist, Natural Resource Conservation Service, 771 Corporate Drive, Suite 210, Lexington, KY 40503– 5479, telephone (859) 224–7350. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This project was initiated due to the Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW) Office of Dam Safety issuance of a notice of violation (NOV) to the Plum Creek Watershed Conservancy District for Plum Creek FRS #18. Construction of FRS#18 was completed in 1957 under the Pilot Watershed Program and authorized by the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (PL 83–566). Due to changes in KDOW dam safety regulations and a pre-existing home below the dam, the KDOW is now requiring the dam to be upgraded to meet class C criteria (high hazard) or to remove the threat of flooding to the downstream home. The preferred alternative for this project is Alternative #2—demolition of the existing home rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:17 Sep 26, 2006 Jkt 208001 and construction of a new elevated home on the same site. The proposed alternative would upgrade the dam to meet NRCS and KDOW current standards and criteria for a ‘‘Significant’’ or ‘‘Moderate’’ hazard (class B) dam and would replace the concrete riser and add a supplemental toe drain system to the dam. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Basic data developed during the environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Anita Arends, Resource Conservationist, telephone (859) 224–7354.
