(FONSI) and the determination was
made that no environmental impact
statement is required to support the
Manila-Washam Plan. Pursuant to
section 102(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations (40 CFR part 1500); and the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
Regulations (7 CFR part 650); the
Natural Resources Conservation Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives
notice that an environmental impact
statement is not being prepared for the
Manila-Washam Salinity Control
Project, Daggett County, Utah; and
Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Written
comments regarding this action may be
submitted to: Sylvia Gillen, State
Conservationist, USDA/NRCS, Wallace
F. Bennett Federal Building, 125 South
State Street, Room 4402, Salt Lake City,

Lake City, UT 84138–1100; telephone

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 project purpose is to reduce salt
loading to the Green River, a tributary
to the Colorado River. Excessive loading
is a result of seepage from the canal and
delivery ditch systems and inefficient
irrigation application methods and
procedures. The planned works of
improvement include replacement of
delivery ditches with an on-farm
underground pipeline delivery system;
the installation of irrigation sprinkler
systems; structures for water control;
and wildlife habitat development. These
enduring practices are accompanied by
facilitating management practices such
as; Irrigation Water Management,
Wildlife Habitat Management Wetland,
and Wildlife Habitat Management
Upland.
This Notice of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental
Protection Agency and to various
Federal, State and local agencies and

implementation of this project will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this
notice is published.
