Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the Upper Deckers Creek
Watershed, Preston County, WV
Natural Resources
Conservation Service.
ACTION: Withdrawal of Notice of Intent
to prepare an EIS.
AGENCY:
In the Monday, November 21,
2011, Federal Register, Vol. 76. No. 224,
the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) announced its intension
to prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the rehabilitation of
the Upper Deckers Creek Site 1, in
Preston County, West Virginia.
Preparation of an EIS is no longer
planned at this time.
The purpose of the project is to bring
the dam up to current dam safety
standards. NRCS policy requires that an
EIS be prepared for watershed project
activities that include stream channel
realignment, increases in channel
capacity, or projects that require
congressional action or that have the
potential to significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
Upon review, it now appears that none
of these conditions apply to the Upper
Deckers Creek Site 1 dam rehabilitation
project. Therefore, NRCS is withdrawing
its Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS.

Natural Resources Conservation Service,
1550 Earl Core Road, Suite 200,
Morgantown, West Virginia 26505.
Telephone: (304) 284–7545.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
project involves the rehabilitation of the
Upper Deckers Creek Site 1 dam and
impoundment to meet current design
criteria and performance standards. The
Site 1 dam, located about 1.5 miles
northwest of Arthurdale, WV, was
constructed in 1969 as a single purpose
flood control structure. Alternatives
under consideration include the
addition of rural raw water supply as a
project purpose and increasing the
reservoir volume, evaluating other raw
water supply sources, raising the top of
the dam elevation, flattening upstream
and downstream face of the dam to

improve slope stability, installing an
internal drainage system in the dam,
constructing a new auxiliary spillway,
and constructing a new principal
spillway riser structure. In addition to
these structural alternatives, a no-action
and a decommissioning alternative will
be evaluated.
A draft Plan-Environmental
Assessment will be prepared and
circulated for review by agencies and
the public. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service invites
participation and consultation of
agencies and individuals that have
special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or
interest in the preparation of the draft
environmental assessment. Comments
received, including the names and
addresses of those who comment, will
be considered part of the public record
for this proposal. As a result of the
process, if it is determined that the
project may have significant impacts,
the EIS process will be reinitiated and
a NOI published. Further information
on the proposed action may be obtained
from Kevin Wickey, State
Conservationist, at the above address or
telephone (304–284–7545).
