ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, as amended, the 

Department of the Interior, the Central 

Utah Water Conservancy District, and 

the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and 

Conservation Commission, as joint 

leads, are initiating an Environmental 

Assessment of the impacts associated 

with the proposed restoration of the 

eastern portion of Lower Hobble Creek, 

near Springville, Utah. This restoration 

effort is intended to facilitate the 

recovery of the June Sucker (Chasmistes 

liorus), a Federally listed endangered 

species, through improvement of 

spawning habitat and maintenance of 

stream flow. It is anticipated that the 

resultant effort would include the 

possible restoration of approximately 

2 miles of stream channel, potential 

modification or removal of several 

existing barriers to fish passage, and 

enhancement of the existing water 

supply. 

DATES: Date and location for public 

scoping will be announced locally.
