The changes in the administrative

Finding of No Significant Impact for 

Little Sandy Trail Creek Watershed 

Structure No. 1; Madison County, 

Georgia, July 3, 2009 

Introduction 

The Little Sandy Trail Creek 

Watershed is a federally assisted action 

authorized for planning under Public 

Law 106–472, the 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 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, 355 

East Hancock Avenue, Athens, Georgia 

30601. 

Recommended Action 

This document describes a plan for 

upgrading an existing floodwater 

retarding structure, Little Sandy Trail 

Creek Watershed Structure No. 1, to 

meet current dam safety criteria in 

Georgia. The plan calls for the 

modification of the existing vegetative 

auxiliary spillway, enlarging the 

principal spillway and raising the top of 

the dam on an existing dam. Works of 

improvement will be accomplished by 

providing financial and technical 

assistance through an eligible local 

sponsor. 

The Principal Project Measures are to: 

1. Modifying the existing vegetative 

auxiliary spillway, enlarging the 

principal spillway and raising the top of 

the dam. This construction is designed 

to bring the existing dam into 

compliance with current dam safety 

criteria in Georgia. 

2. The measures will be planned and 

installed by developing a contract with 

the current operator of the dam. 

Effects of Recommended Action 

Modifying the existing vegetative 

auxiliary spillway, enlarging the 

principal spillway and raising the top of 

the dam will bring Little Sandy Trail 

Creek Watershed Structure No. 1 into 

compliance with current dam safety 

criteria. This will essentially eliminate 

the risk to loss of life for individuals in 

6 homes and 10 roads downstream. 

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. Some 30 acres of wetland and 

wetland type wildlife habitat will be 

preserved. Fishery habitats will also be 

maintained. 

No endangered or threatened plant or 

animal species will be adversely 

affected by the project. 

There are no wilderness areas in the 

watershed. 

Alternatives 

Six alternative plans of action were 

considered in project planning. No 

significant adverse environmental 

impacts are anticipated from installation 

of the selected alternative. Also, the 

planned action is the most practical, 

complete, and acceptable means of 

protecting life and property of 

downstream residents. 

Consultation—Public Participation 

Original sponsoring organizations 

include the Georgia Soil and Water 

Conservation Commission, Broad River 

Soil and Water Conservation District 

and Madison County. At the initiation 

of the planning process, meetings were 

held with representatives of the original 

sponsoring organizations to ascertain 

their interest and concerns regarding the 

Little Sandy Trail Creek Watershed. The 

Georgia Soil and Water Conservation 

Commission agreed to serve as ‘‘lead 

sponsor’’ being responsible for leading 

the planning process with assistance 

from NRCS. As lead sponsor they also 

agreed to provide non-federal costshare, property rights, operation and 

maintenance, and public participation 

during, and beyond, the planning 

process. 

An Interdisciplinary Planning Team 

provided for the ‘‘technical’’ 

administration of this project. Technical 

administration includes tasks pursuant 

to the NRCS nine-step planning process, 

and planning procedures outlined in the 

NRCS–National Planning Procedures 

Handbook. Examples of tasks completed
