DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Natural Resources Conservation 

Service 

Environmental Assessment; 

Rehabilitation of Grade Stabilization 

Structure W–3, Papillion Creek 

Watershed, Washington County, NE 

AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability, Finding 

of No Significant Impact. 

SUMMARY: The Natural Resources 

Conservation Service (NRCS) has 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

in compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as 

amended. Pursuant to the implementing 

regulations for NEPA (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508); the USDA Departmental 

Policy for the NEPA (7 CFR part 1b); the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

Regulations (7 CFR part 650); and the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

policy (General Manual Title 190, Part 

410); the Natural Resources 

Conservation Service gives notice that 

an environmental impact statement is 

not being prepared for the rehabilitation 

of grade stabilization Structure W3 in 

Papillion Creek Watershed, Washington 

County, Nebraska. The Environmental 

Assessment was developed in 

coordination with the sponsoring local 

organization (Papio-Missouri River 

Natural Resources District) for a 

federally assisted action to address 

grade stabilization and incidental flood 

control prevention in the Papillion 

Creek Watershed and the status of grade 

stabilization Structure W–3. Upon 

consideration of the affected 

environment, alternatives, 

environmental consequences, and 

comments and coordination with 

concerned public and agencies, the 

State Conservationist for NRCS, 

Nebraska found that based on the 

significance and context and intensity 

that the proposed action is not a major 

federal action significantly affecting the 

quality of the human environment. 

Thus, a Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) was made. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephen K. Chick, State Conservationist, 

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural 

Resources Conservation Service, Federal 

Building, Room 152, 100 Centennial 

Mall North, Lincoln, Nebraska 68508– 

3866; telephone (402) 437–5300. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

sponsoring local organization concurs 

with this determination and agrees with 

carrying forward the proposed project. 

Structure W–3 does not meet NRCS 

safety and performance standards for a 

High Hazard Class structure. The 

proposed action is to rehabilitate 

Structure W–3 to current NRCS High 

Hazard Class requirements and extend 

its life for 90 years. The following 

actions are proposed: The existing 

principal spillway would be removed 

and replaced, the auxiliary spillway 

would be raised and an additional 

auxiliary spillway would be 

constructed, and the top of dam would 

be raised to increase storage capacity. 

Information regarding this finding 

may be obtained at the contact 

information listed above. No 

administrative action on 

implementation of the proposed funding 

action will be taken until 30 days after 

the date of this publication in the 

Federal Register.
