Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 175 / Monday, September 12, 2005 / Notices 53775 

Background 

At a 2003 meeting with the Fruit and 

Vegetable Industry Advisory Committee, 

AMS was asked to review all the fresh 

fruit and vegetable grade standards for 

usefulness in serving the industry. AMS 

had identified the United States 

Standards for Grades of Lemons for a 

possible revision. The United States 

Standards for Grades of Lemons were 

last amended December 27, 1999. 

On April 26, 2005, a notice seeking 

comments regarding any revision to the 

lemon grade standards that may be 

necessary to better serve the industry 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 21392) with the comment period 

that ended June 27, 2005. During that 

sixty-day comment period, no 

comments were received. 

The Agency has decided not to 

proceed further with this action. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627. 

Dated: September 6, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental assessment of this 

federally assisted action indicates that 

the project will not cause significant 

local, regional, or national impacts on 

the environment. As a result of these 

findings, Robin E. Heard, State

preparation and review of an 

53776 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 175 / Monday, September 12, 2005 / Notices 

environmental impact statement are not 

needed for this project. 

The project purpose is to maintain the 

current level of flood damage reduction 

by rehabilitating the existing North Fork 

Dam. Dam rehabilitation will bring 

North Fork Dam into compliance with 

current dam design, performance and 

safety criteria and extend its service life 

by 100 years. The planned works of 

improvement include raising the top of 

dam about 8 feet, stabilizing the existing 

auxiliary spillway, lining the principal 

spillway outlet pool with riprap, 

refurbishing the existing principal 

spillway and installing a graded filter of 

drainfill along the toe of the dam. 

The Notice of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 

forwarded to the Environmental 

Protection Agency and other 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

Introduction 

The South River Watershed 

Rehabilitation Project is a federally 

assisted action authorized for planning 

under Public Law 106–472, the Small 

Watershed Rehabilitation Act, which 

amends Public Law 83–566, the 

Watershed Protection and Flood 

Prevention Act. An environmental 

assessment was undertaken in 

conjunction with development of the 

supplemental watershed plan. This 

assessment was conducted in 

consultation with local, State, and 

Federal agencies as well as with 

interested organizations and 

individuals. Data developed during the 

assessment are available for public 

review at the following location: U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, Natural 

Resources Conservation Service, 1606 

Santa Rosa Road, Suite 209, Richmond, 

Virginia 23229–5014. 

Recommended Action 

This document describes a plan for 

upgrading three existing floodwater 

retarding structures, South River 

Watershed Dams Numbers 23, 25 and 

26, to meet current dam design and 

safety criteria in the Commonwealth of 

Virginia. The plan calls for the widening 

and/or armoring of the auxiliary 

spillways, and raising the height of the 

top of each dam 4–5 feet through the 

construction of parapet walls. Works of 

improvement will be accomplished by 

providing financial and technical 

assistance through an eligible local 

sponsor. 

The principal project measures are to: 

1. Raise the top of each dam 4–5 feet 

by installing a concrete parapet wall on 

the upstream side of the dam crest. The 

auxiliary spillways will be widened 

and/or armored with articulated 

concrete blocks. These are the major 

structural components of the project. 

There are a number of smaller 

improvements such as elevating and 

lengthening the training dikes, cleaning 

the dam toe drains, replacing the square 

risers with rectangular risers, removing 

trees from the abutments, and 

improving the access road. 

2. The measures will be planned and 

installed by developing a project 

agreement with the current operator of 

the dam. 

Effects of Recommended Action 

Making the proposed improvements 

will bring these three South River 

Watershed Dams into compliance with 

current dam design and safety criteria. 

This will essentially eliminate the risk 

to loss of life for individuals in 191 

homes, 10 commercial buildings, 2 

churches, 3 major roads and 13 

residential roads downstream. The daily 

traffic counts for the three major roads 

total about 3,700 vehicles. Additional 

effects will include continued 

protection against flooding, continued 

water quality benefits, continued fishing 

activities, continued recreational 

opportunities, protected land values, 

protected road and utility networks, and 

reduced maintenance costs for public 

infrastructure. 

Wildlife habitat will not be disturbed 

during installation activities. No 

wetlands, wildlife habitat, fisheries, 

prime farmland, or cultural resources 

will be destroyed or threatened by this 

project. About 3.75 acres of wetland and
