| 98-16580 | Notice of Availability of the Finding of No Significant Impact for the Construction of the New Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery | Notice | On June 12, 1998, Michael C. Weland, Executive Director of the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission signed the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) which documents the decision to fund construction of the new Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery in Sanpete County, Utah. The hatchery will be reconstructed near the city of Fountain Green as a fish, wildlife and recreation feature of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. The Mitigation Commission and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources documented the environmental effects of constructing the new hatchery in an environmental assessment (EA). The Draft EA was developed with public input and the Final EA refined based upon public comment. The Commission has found the EA adequate for its decision to fund the new construction of the Proposed Action and has issued its FONSI in accordance with the Commission's NEPA Rule (43 CFR Part 10010.20). The hatchery and associated features to be constructed are supported by the 1998 Revised Fish Hatchery Production Plan and its EA and FONSI, prepared in accordance with and in fulfillment of the Central Utah Project Completion Act of 1992 (Titles II through VI of Public Law 102-575). Funding the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to construct the new Fountain Green State Fish Hatchery continues the effort in meeting the sport fish recreation and native fish recovery and conservation needs identified in the Revised Fish Hatchery Production Plan. Of the alternatives analyzed under the EA, the Preferred Alternative, which this decision implements, increases fish production, reduces fish disease risks, increases educational opportunities, decreases effluent total suspended solids and increases employee and visitor safety. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's planning aid letter issued under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401; as amended, 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) stated that the Fish and Wildlife Service is supportive of the Preferred Alternative. Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicated that no threatened or endangered species will be impacted by the Preferred Alternative. No wetlands will be impacted by construction, and none of the environmental impacts of this action are considered significant or highly controversial. The action is related to other potential future actions, specifically the improvement or construction of other State, Federal or Tribal fish hatcheries. The future construction projects will require separate NEPA compliance. The programmatic perspective has been considered in a separate NEPA document addressing fish hatchery improvement throughout the State. | 1998-06-23 | 1998 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/06/23/98-16580/notice-of-availability-of-the-finding-of-no-significant-impact-for-the-construction-of-the-new | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-06-23/pdf/98-16580.pdf | Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission | 518 | On June 12, 1998, Michael C.
