AGENCY: USDA--Soil Conservation Service.

ACTION: ``Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact''.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR part 1500); and the Soil Conservation Service Guidelines (7 CFR 
part 650); the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not 
being prepared for the Brandywine Creek Watershed, Supplemental 
Watershed Plan No. 6 in Chester County, Pennsylvania.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Richard N. Duncan, State Conservationist, Soil Conservation 
Service, One Credit Union Place, Suite 340, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 
17110-2993, telephone (717) 782-2202.

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, Richard N. Duncan, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement is not needed for this project.
    The purpose of this project is to purchase 105 acres located 
adjacent to the Hibernia Lake Project at the Birch Run Structure (PA-
436F) in order to expand the recreational facilities in the area. These 
facilities would include access roads, boat ramps, fishing piers, a 
ranger station, sanitary facilities, campgrounds, picnic tables and a 
maintenance and storage area. Additional land is needed to provide 
adequate access to the lake for fishing, boating, camping, hiking and 
picnicking.
    The ``Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact'' (FONSI) has 
been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency. A limited number 
of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy requests at 
the above address. The environmental assessment and basic data may be 
reviewed by contacting Richard N. Duncan.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until thirty (30) days after the date of this publication in the 
Federal Register.

    (This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance Program No. 10.904--Watershed Protection and Flood 
Prevention and is subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372 
which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local 
officials.)

    Dated: September 14, 1994.

Deputy State Conservationist.
