SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this federally assisted action documents that the project will not cause significant local, regional, or national impacts on the human environment. The findings of Allen Green, State Conservationist, indicate that the preparation and review of an environmental impact statement is not needed for this project. The project purpose is to restore the integrity of the C-4 Canon City watershed protection dam to the safety provided by the originally installed condition.

These repairs meet current standards & specifications for dam safety and design. This Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various Federal, State and Local agencies and interested parties. Copies of the FONSI and Plan/Environmental Assessment are available by request from Allen Green, Colorado State Conservationist. Basic data developed during the environmental evaluation are on file [[Page 46812]] and may be reviewed by contacting Allen Green, State Conservationist. No administrative action on implementation of this project will be taken until 30 days after the date this Notice is published in the Federal Register.
