Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. 

Geological Service, Louisiana 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

Louisiana Department of Natural 

Resources, and the Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. 

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

would provide a Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act Report. Coordination 

would be maintained with the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service and the National 

Marine Fisheries Service regarding 

threatened and endangered species 

under their respective jurisdictional 

responsibilities. Coordination would be 

maintained with the National Marine 

Fisheries Service regarding essential 

fish habitat. Coordination would be 

maintained with the Natural Resources 

Conservation Service regarding prime 

and unique farmlands. Coordination 

would be maintained with the Advisory 

Counsel on Historic Preservation and 

the State Historic Preservation Officer. 

The Louisiana Department of Natural 

Resources would be consulted regarding 

consistency with the Coastal Zone 

Management Act. The Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries 

would be contacted concerning 

potential impacts to Natural and Scenic 

Streams. 

5. Environmental Consultation and 

Review: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (USFWS) would be assisting in 

the documentation of existing 

conditions and assessment of effects of 

project alternatives through Fish and 

Wildlife Coordination Act consultation 

procedures. The USFWS would also 

provide a Fish and Wildlife 

Coordination Act report. Consultation 

would also be accomplished with the 

USFWS and the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) concerning 

threatened and endangered species and 

their critical habitat. The NMFS would 

be consulted on the effects of this 

proposed action on Essential Fish 

Habitat. The draft EIS or a notice of its 

availability would be distributed to all 

interested agencies, organizations, and 

individuals. 

6. Public Scoping Meeting: Scoping 

meetings are not required (40 CFR 

1506.8 Proposals for legislation (b)(1))
