SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Ronnie L. Clark, State Conservationist, has 
determined the preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement are not needed for this project.
    The project purposes are flood prevention and watershed protection. 
The planned works of improvement include an earthfill dam (426,000 
cubic yards) with a principal spillway and a reinforced concrete 
spillway. The recommended plan also includes 3,900 acres of associated 
land treatment measures on cropland and rangeland fields, and the 
development of animal waste systems above the dam site.
    The Notice of a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various 
federal, state, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited 
number of 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 
Ronald D. Sando, Assistant State Conservationist (Water Resources), 
701-250-4441.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
