Project Description

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with Garfield County as the project sponsor and as co-sponsor, is proposing to fund through the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law [PL] 83-566) in Panguitch, Utah.

NEPA Analysis

NRCS, as the lead federal agency, is preparing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis in the form of a Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment (Plan-EA) to analyze impacts to the natural and human environment from this project. The Plan-EA will comply with the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508, which require an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with federal projects and actions.
