SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
environmental assessment of this
federally assisted action indicates that
the project will not cause significant
local, regional, or national impacts on
the environment. As a result of these
findings, Kalven L. Trice, State
Conservationist, has determined that the
preparation and review of an
environmental impact statement is not
needed for this project.
The project will rehabilitate
Floodwater Retarding Structure (FWRS)
No. 7 to maintain the present level of
flood control and comply with the
current dam safety and performance
standards. Local Sponsoring
Organizations for the rehabilitation of
FWRS No. 7 are the Point Remove
Watershed Improvement District and
the Conway County Conservation
District.
Rehabilitation of FWRS No. 7 will
require the dam to be modified to meet
current performance and safety
standards for a high hazard dam. The
modification will consist of
• Lengthening the principal spillway
conduit by 42 feet to accommodate the
new top of dam elevation. The existing
principal spillway inlet and conduit
size are adequate.
• Maintaining the principal spillway
crest at Elevation 539.4, the current
permanent pool elevation.
• Modifying the existing 200-foot
auxiliary spillway to meet integrity
requirements by increasing the length of
the level crest section from 50 feet to
150 feet.
• Increase the size of the principal
spillway low stage port opening to meet
100-year, 10 day PSH drawdown
criteria.
• Raising the top of dam from
Elevation 566.0 feet to Elevation 570.9
feet to safely pass the 6-hour to 72-hour
duration PMP storms.
All disturbed areas will be planted to
plants that have wildlife values. The
proposed work will not affect any prime
farmland, endangered or threatened
species, or cultural resources. Adverse
impacts to wetlands will be temporary
and minor.
Federal assistance will be provided
under authority of the Small Watershed
Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000
(Section 313, Pub. L. 106–472). Total
project cost is estimated to be $871,800,
of which $624,300 will be paid from the
Small Watershed Rehabilitation funds
and $247,500 from local funds.
The notice of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental
PO 00000
Frm 00002
