Background
We publish this notice in compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and its
implementing regulations (40 CFR
1506.6). The Service, in conjunction
with our cooperating agencies, prepared
this FEIS for the Ballville Dam Project
with the intent to address the
environmental, economic, cultural and
historical, and safety issues associated
with the proposed removal of the dam
and a suite of alternatives.
Ballville Dam is currently a complete
barrier to upstream fish passage and
impedes hydrologic processes. The
purpose for the award of Federal funds
and preparation of this FEIS are to
restore natural hydrological processes
over a 40-mile stretch of the Sandusky
River, re-open fish passage to 22 miles
of new habitat, restore flow conditions
for fish access to new habitat above the
impoundment, and improve overall
conditions for native fish communities
in the Sandusky River system both
upstream and downstream of the
Ballville Dam, restoring self-sustaining
fish resources.
Pursuant to the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA; 16 U.S.C. 470,
470f), the Service has initiated section
106 consultation with the Ohio State
Historic Preservation Office for the
project. The section 106 process has
been completed and the signed
Programmatic Agreement is included as
an appendix to the FEIS.
