SUMMARY: The Natural Resources
Conservation Service is issuing this
notice to advise the public that we are
rescinding the notice of intent (NOI) to
prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) on a proposal to address
recurring flooding impacts along the
Middle Fork Popo Agie River in and
near the city of Lander, Fremont
County, Wyoming, which was issued in
the Federal Register on November 26,
2002 (Volume 67, Number 228).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRCS
is rescinding the NOI to prepare an EIS
for a project proposed to address
recurring flooding impacts along the
Middle Fork Popo Agie River in and
near the city of Lander, Fremont
County, Wyoming. The NOI is being
rescinded because preliminary analysis
of the proposed alternative indicates
that impacts are likely not to be
significant. NRCS has therefore
determined an Environmental
Assessment (EA) will be appropriate for
this project.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), an
agency delivering the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Rural Development Utilities Programs,
hereinafter referred to as Rural
Development or the Agency, is
terminating further action by Rural
Development on the environmental
review process in accordance with the
Agency’s environmental policies and
procedures for the Norborne Baseload

Plant (Norborne Plant) in Carroll
County, Missouri.
The purpose of the Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) was to evaluate
the potential environmental impacts of
and alternatives to Associated Electric
Cooperative, Incorporated’s (AECI)
application requesting federal financial
assistance from Rural Development to
construct the proposed 660 megawatt
net supercritical pulverized coal fired
power plant, new and modified
substations, approximately 134 miles of
new 345-kV transmission lines, a utility
waste landfill, new rail access from
existing mainline railroads, and a water
supply system consisting of
groundwater wells and associated
pipeline. The AECI withdrew their
application for federal financial
assistance from the Agency on February
12, 2008, and has decided to evaluate
non-federal financing options. The
notice to prepare an EIS and to hold
scoping meetings was published in the
Federal Register on August 10, 2005.
Four public scoping meetings were
conducted in August of 2005. In
addition, the Agency held an
interagency scoping meeting with state
and federal agency stakeholders on
August 23, 2005. The Notice of
Availability of the Draft EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
January 11, 2007 with the 45-day public
comment period beginning on the date
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) published their receipt
of the document. The USEPA’s notice
was published on January 26, 2007 and
the public review period concluded on
March 12, 2007. Three public hearings
to solicit review comments were held
between February 6–8, 2007. A Notice
of Availability of the Final EIS was
published in the Federal Register on
July 13, 2007 with a 30-day public
comment period. The comment period
was extended to October 28, 2005
through a second notice published in
the Federal Register on September 30,
2005.
