Dunloup Creek Watershed, Fayette and 

Raleigh Counties, WV 

AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

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 Natural 

Resources Conservation Service 

Guidelines (7 CFR part 650); the Natural 

Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, is 

giving notice that an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) will be prepared 

for the Dunloup Creek Watershed of the 

New River Watershed, Fayette and 

Raleigh Counties, West Virginia. The 

EIS will evaluate potential impacts to 

the natural, physical and human 

environment as a result of the flood 

damage reduction measures proposed 

for the 100-year floodplain in the 

Dunloup Creek Watershed, Fayette and 

Raleigh Counties, West Virginia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Floodwater damage and critical area 

erosion in the Dunloup Creek watershed 

were the initial impetus for a study in 

1965 when local sponsors applied for 

Federal assistance under Public Law 

566—The Watershed Protection and 

Flood Prevention Act. Several years of 

study resulted in the preparation of a 

Watershed Plan—EIS in 1976. Further 

project activities were terminated in 

1984 by mutual agreement between the 

former Soil Conservation Service (now 

NRCS) and the local project sponsors 

due to utility and land-rights issues. 

In 1996, due to recurring flooding in 

the watershed, a new application was 

submitted by the local sponsors and 

NRCS re-initiated planning assistance. 

The planning effort resulted in the 

preparation of a Local Implementation 

Plan in December 1998. The Plan 

provided alternatives for local 

implementation without PL–566 costsharing and without full analysis of the 

hydraulic, environmental, economic 

and cultural concerns associated with 

alternatives. No further action was taken 

by the local sponsors with regard to 

implementing the 1998 Plan. 

In August 2001, following flood 

events of July 2001, local sponsors 

requested additional planning 

assistance for the Dunloup Creek 

watershed under PL–566. The current 

work will document alternatives 

evaluated to reduce flooding and related 

damages in the Dunloup Creek 

watershed, including: Upstream 

floodwater retarding impoundments, 

channel modifications, diking, land
