of the new Sollers Wharf switching 

station is located near the intersection of 

Sollers Wharf Road and Pardoe Road, 

west of Maryland Highways 2 and 4 

near the Calvert Cliffs tap. 

Approximately 6 to 10 acres of the 40- 

acre site would be disturbed during 

construction. The remainder of the site 

would serve as a buffer. Construction of 

the proposal is anticipated for 

completion in 2015. 

A Notice of Intent to prepare an EA 

and hold a scoping meeting was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 27, 2008, in the Enterprise (St. 

Mary’s County) on August 29, 2008, and 

in the Calvert Recorder on August 29, 

2008. A public meeting was held on 

September 11, 2008, in SMECO’s 

Calvert Regional Office located at 901 

Dares Beach Road, Prince Frederick, 

Maryland. A scoping summary report 

can be found at the RUS website listed 

in this Notice. The notice of availability 

of the EA for public review was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 3, 2010, and in the 

Enterprise and Calvert Recorder on 

September 3 and 9, 2010. The EA was 

available for public and agency review 

on the RUS Web site listed in this 

Notice; at SMECO’s Calvert Regional 

Office located at 901 Dares Beach Road, 

Prince Frederick, Maryland, and at 

SMECO’s St. Mary’s Regional Office 

located at 23365 Hollywood Road, 

Leonardtown, Maryland. The 30-day 

comment period ended on October 3, 

2010. No comments were received. 

SMECO hired Black and Veatch to 

prepare an EA for RUS that described 

the proposal and assessed its potential 

environmental impacts. RUS conducted 

an independent evaluation of the EA 

and concurred with its scope and 

content. In accordance with RUS’s 

Environmental Policies and Procedures 

at 7 CFR 1794.41, RUS accepted the 

document as its official EA. 

Based on its EA, RUS has concluded 

that the proposal would have no 

significant impacts to water quality, 

wetlands, the 100-year floodplain, land 

use, aesthetics, transportation, or human 

health and safety. The proposal will 

have no adverse effects on historic 

properties listed or eligible for listing on 

the National Register of Historic Places. 

RUS has also concluded that the 

proposal is not likely to affect federally 

listed threatened and endangered 

species or designated critical habitat. 

The proposal would not 

disproportionately affect minority and 

low-income populations. 

No other potential significant impacts 

resulting from the proposal have been 

identified. Therefore, RUS has 

determined that this FONSI fulfills its 

obligations under NEPA for its action 

related to the proposal. RUS is satisfied 

that the environmental impacts of the 

proposal have been adequately 

addressed. If RUS takes a federal action 

on the proposal, it will not result in 

significant impacts to the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, an 

Environmental Impact Statement will 

not be prepared for the proposal.
