# 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 Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an                           ( print page 53776)                        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 and may be reviewed by contacting Robin E. Heard.

                    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the                     **Federal Register**                    .

State Conservationist.
