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,

notice that an environmental impact
statement is not being prepared for the
rehabilitation of Floodwater Retarding

Conservationist, Natural Resources
Conservation Service, 101 South Main,
Temple, Texas 76501–7682, Telephone

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, Donald W. Gohmert, 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 No. 5 to maintain the present
level of flood control benefits and
comply with the current performance
and safety standards.
Rehabilitation of the site will require
the dam to be modified to meet current
performance and safety standards for a

consist of raising the top of dam 3.5 feet,
extending the back toe of the
embankment to maintain a 3:1 slope,
installation of an additional principal
spillway (24″ hooded inlet type),
installation of a foundation drain system
along the back toe of the embankment,
lowering the crest elevation of the
auxiliary spillway 0.4 feet, installing a
splitter dike in the auxiliary spillway
and realigning the entrance section of
the auxiliary spillway. An impact basin
that will serve both principal spillway
outlets will be added to replace the
existing plunge pool. All disturbed areas
will be planted to adapted native and/
or introduced species. The proposed
work will not have a significant affect
on any prime farmland, endangered or
threatened species, wetlands, or cultural
resources.
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
$2,383,400, of which $1,693,800 will be

copies of the FONSI are available to fill
single copy requests at the above
address. Basic data developed during
the environmental assessment are on
file and may be reviewed by contacting

No administrative action on
implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this
