AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, Agriculture. 

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, 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives 

notice that an environmental impact 

statement is being prepared for South 

Fork of Licking River Watershed, 

Licking, Perry, Fairfield Counties, Ohio. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Columbus, Ohio 43215–2478, telephone 

614–259–2500. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental reassessment of this 

previously approved federally assisted 

action indicates that the project might 

cause significant local, regional, or 

national impact on the environment. As 

a result of these findings, Terry Cosby, 

State Conservationist, has determined 

that the preparation and review of a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement is needed for this project. 

The project concerns are watershed 

protection and flood prevention. 

Alternatives under consideration are 

channel modification, installation of a 

by-pass channel, obstruction removal, 

the creation of a temporary flood water 

impoundment, and the installation of a 

dry dam. 

A supplemental draft environmental 

impact statement will be prepared and 

circulated for review by agencies and 

the public. The Natural Resources 

Conservation Service invites 

participation and consultation of 

agencies and individuals that have 

special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or 

interest in the preparation of the draft 

environmental impact statement. 

Meetings will be held Thursday, 

December 15, 2005, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 

7 to 9 p.m. at the Hebron Municipal 

Building, Hebron, Ohio, to determine 

the scope and evaluation of the 

proposed action. Further information on 

the proposed action or scoping meeting
