SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
invention pertains to determining the
state of polarization of an
electromagnetic signal. A polarimeter
includes a receiver that receives a first
polarization (P1) of the signal and splits
the first polarization of the signal into
the in-phase (IP1) and quadrature (QP1)
components, and receives a second
poplarization (P2) of the signal and
splits the second polarization of the
signal into the in-phase (IP1) and
quadrature (QP2) components. The
polarimeter may also include a
processor that receives each of the inphase and quadrature components ((IP1),
(QP1), (IP2), and (QP2)) of the first and
second polarizations and determines the
Stokes polarization vector components
(s0, s1, s2, and s3) of the signal.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
invention pertains to establishing a
three-way call between a wireless 911
caller, an emergency 911 dispatcher,
and security/law enforcement personnel
assigned to monitor a particular
property. When a wireless 911 caller
makes a 911 call from a specific
property, the wireless network provides
the caller’s automatic location
identification (ALI) information to a
Localized Cellular Awareness and
Tracking of Emergencies (LoCATE)
System Unit (LSU) before the call is
routed to the 911 dispatcher. The LSU
uses the ALI information to determine
the phone numbers of the surveillance
property’s assigned security/law
enforcement personnel (e.g., a building
security guard) and provides these
phone numbers to the wireless network.
The LSU requests the wireless network
to establish a three-way call between the
911 caller, the 911 emergency
dispatcher, and the surveillance
property’s assigned security/law
enforcement personnel. Thus, the
invention provides a real-time
communication link with a specific
property’s assigned security/law
enforcement personnel, who can
provide the most immediate response to
an emergency occurring at the property
before the arrival of the traditional or
official first responders who are
dispatched by the 911 dispatcher.
Possible surveillance applications
include buildings, campuses, national
monuments, crime zones, airports,
sports arenas, parades, amusement

Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement To
Address Operational Changes at
Center Hill Dam, Center Hill Lake,
DeKalb County, TN, That Could Affect
Pool Elevations
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers
(Corps) is preparing a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
to address operational changes at Center
Hill Dam that could affect pool
elevations. Center Hill Dam impounds
Center Hill Lake in central Tennessee.
The DEIS is necessary to provide
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) compliance to address changes
that could include, but are not limited
to water quality, aquatic, riparian, and
terrestrial habitat, recreation, water
supply, flood storage, economics,
hydropower production, and safety as a
result of operating Center Hill Lake
below normal pool elevations for
extended periods of time. Several
engineering studies have identified a
heightened level of risk at Center Hill
Dam due to increasing seepage problems
under and around the dam. Since March
2005, the Corps has attempted to keep
fall, winter and early spring lake levels
from extreme rises due to high inflow.
Seepage problems are made worse
during continual high lake levels. As a
result, the Corps plans to maintain
lower lake levels, but still within the
operations curve, to reduce pressure on
the dam foundation, abutments, and rim
walls until a permanent remedy is in
place. A major grouting project to
address the dam seepage is scheduled
for the fall of 2007, followed by
installation of a cutoff wall through the
earthen portions of the dam and
adjoining rim walls. Although not
anticipated, the Corps may have to
lower the lake pool significantly below
the operating pool should seepage
conditions worsen, or new information
determine this action is necessary to
reduce risk. This notice serves to initiate
the NEPA process. The Corps plans to
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

prepare and circulate a DEIS which
serves to cover possible impacts due to
extreme changes in lake levels that
could occur during the repair of the
dam’s foundation and abutments.
DATES: Written comments concerning
issues to be considered in preparing the
DEIS, must be received by the Corps of
Engineers on or before March 28, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on issues
to be considered in the DEIS shall be
mailed to: Joy Broach, Project Planning
Branch, Nashville District Corps of
Engineers, P.O. Box 1070 (PM–P),
Nashville, TN 37202–1070. Comments
may also be e-mailed to:
CenterHill.Repair@lrn02.usace.
army.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
additional information concerning the
notice, please contact Joy Broach,
Environmental Team, (615) 736–7956,
Linda Adcock, Center Hill Dam Seepage
Major Rehabilitation Project Manager,
(615) 736–5940, or Public Affairs Office,
(615) 736–7161.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Center Hill Dam was designed in
the 1930s, constructed in the 1940s, and
impounded in the early 1950s. The dam
was built on karst geology using
accepted engineering practices of the
day. Since the 1960s, seepage flows
through the dam’s right abutment and
left rim wall have been monitored, and
recently became a concern with
increased seepage and development of
turbid flows through springs below the
left rim wall. Signs of seepage increase
through the main dam and saddle dam
foundations have also been noted. A
formal risk assessment is currently
being conducted to determine if a need
exists to significantly alter lake levels
outside the normal operations curve to
reduce risk to people and property.
2. A comprehensive plan for repairs
has been approved; however, these
repairs will take a number of years to
implement. Until the repairs are
sufficiently complete, the Corps has
determined that it is in the public’s
interest to operate Center Hill Lake at
the lower range of the operations curve.
Many rehabilitation alternatives were
considered and potential impacts
analyzed and are discussed in the
following NEPA documents: Proposed
Center Hill Dam Seepage Rehabilitation,
Environmental Assessment, July 2005;
and Proposed Center Hill Dam Seepage
Rehabilitation, Environmental
Assessment Supplement 1, March 2006.
These documents have been included
by reference. No significant
environmental and economic
consequences are anticipated under
current dam repair plans; however,
