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, Janet L. Oertly, State Conservationist, has

passive treatment systems.

been forwarded to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A limited 
number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy
