Withdrawal From Preparation of a Draft

Environmental Impact Statement,

Environmental Restoration, Jackson

Hole, Wyoming

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers (Corps), Walla Walla District,

is withdrawing its intent to prepare a

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS) for Environmental Impact

Statement (DEIS) for Environmental

Restoration in the Snake River at

Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The Corps

environmental analyses have not

identified any significant impacts

associated with the proposed action,

therefore, intent to prepare a DEIS is

hereby terminated. The Corps is

preparing an Environmental Assessment

(EA) for the proposed environmental

restoration. The EA will evaluate

environmental effects of restoring

riverine, wetland, and riparian habitat

for four sites within the active Snake

River channel between Grand Teton

National Park and the South Park Elk

Feed Grounds in Jackson Hole,

Wyoming. Teton County and the Teton

County Natural Resources District are

cost sharing sponsors and participating

in the project and in developing the EA.

The objective of this project is to

provide site specific restoration

measures for impacts of construction,

operation, and maintenance of levees

constructed under the Jackson Hole

Flood Protection Project. Formulation of

the restoration measures focuses on

examining existing conditions and

determining the feasibility of restoring

portions of degraded ecosystem

structure, function, and dynamic

processes to a less degraded condition.
