Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 2015 / Notices Categorical Exclusion Revision for Trenching The USGS excavates trenches across potentially active faults to assess the history of earthquakes along those faults. The study of ancient earthquakes and their rates of occurrence is known as paleoseismology. Paleoseismic data obtained from trenching studies is a fundamental input for USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps. The USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps are used to inform emergency response and to guide building codes. The revision of this categorical exclusion will allow for a more efficient NEPA review. Public comments were solicited through a notice placed in the Federal Register on August 22, 2014 (79 FR 49799). The proposed language for the categorical exclusion in the notice was as follows: ‘‘Digging and subsequent site restoration of exploratory trenches not to exceed one acre of surface disturbance.’’ mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Categorical Exclusion for Water Monitoring Equipment One of the seven science mission areas of the USGS, the Water Mission Area, is tasked with collecting and disseminating reliable, impartial, and timely information that is needed to understand the Nation’s water resources. The Water Mission Area actively promotes the use of this information by decision makers to: (1) Minimize loss of life and property as a result of water-related natural hazards, such as floods, droughts, and land movement; (2) effectively manage groundwater and surface-water resources for domestic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, recreational, and ecological uses; (3) protect and enhance water resources for human health, aquatic health, and environmental quality; and (4) contribute to the wise physical and economic development of the Nation’s resources for the benefit of present and future generations. To achieve this science mission, the USGS constructs and operates a variety of hydrologic and water-quality monitoring structures and equipment at streams, rivers, springs, wellheads, and other sites across the Nation. After these structures are no longer needed for scientific data collection, they are removed and the site is restored. The revision of this categorical exclusion will allow for a more efficient NEPA review. Public comments were solicited through the same notice placed in the Federal Register on August 22, 2014 (79 FR 49799). The proposed language for the categorical exclusion as set out in VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:40 May 01, 2015 Jkt 235001 the notice was as follows: ‘‘Operation, construction, installation, and removal—including restoration of sites to the pre-structure condition or equivalent of the surrounding environment—of hydrologic and waterquality monitoring structures and equipment including but not limited to weirs, cableways, streamgaging stations, groundwater wells, and meteorologic structures.’’ 25323 In accordance with Commission policy, subject matter listed above, not disposed of at the scheduled meeting, may be carried over to the agenda of the following meeting.
