REHABILITATION OF FLOODWATER RETARDING STRUCTURE NO. 6 OF THE PLUM CREEK WATERSHED, HAYS COUNTY, TEXAS
Agency: Natural Resources Conservation Service
Action: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
Summary: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969; the Council of Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service Regulations (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resource Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the rehabilitation of Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 6 of the Plum Creek Watershed, Hays County, Texas.
For Further Information Contact:
Salvador Salinas

Temple, Texas 76501-7682
Telephone (254) 742-9800
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, Salvador Salinas, State Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact statement is not needed for this project.
The project will rehabilitate Floodwater Retarding Structure No. 6 to maintain the present level of flood control benefits and comply with the current performance and safety standards.
Rehabilitation of the site will require the dam to be modified to meet current performance and safety standards for a high hazard dam. Rehabilitation will require the following modifications to the structure: install a 175 foot length labyrinth weir (replaces existing auxiliary spillway) over the top of the dam, replace the existing principal spillway inlet structure with a new intake tower; install a new 42” pipe and fill the existing pipe with grout; install a new impact basin at the outlet; and install a foundation drain system along the back toe of the embankment. The auxiliary spillway (weir) crest elevation will be lowered 1.6 feet, and the east end of dam will be extended about 350 feet. Goforth Road below the dam will be modified to accommodate construction activities. The proposed work will not have a significant affect on any prime farmland, endangered or threatened species, wetlands, or cultural resources.
Federal assistance will be provided under authority of the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Amendments of 200 (Section 313, Public Law 106-472). Total project cost is estimated to be $3,975,500, of which $2,770,800 will be paid from the Small Watershed Rehabilitation funds and $1,204,700 from local funds.
A limited number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy requests at the above address. Basic data developed during the environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Salvador Salinas, State Conservationist.
No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication.
