American Fork-Dry Creek Watershed
The project is funded through authority of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.
Project Description
The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with American Fork City as the project sponsor and Lehi City and Saratoga Springs as co-sponsors, is proposing to fund through the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law [PL] 83-566) flood prevention improvements at eight (8) locations within the American Fork-Dry Creek Watershed in Utah County, Utah.
NEPA Analysis
NRCS, as the lead federal agency, has prepared a Plan-EA to analyze potential impacts to the natural and human environment from this project. The Plan-EA also integrates analysis following the Principles, Requirements and Guidelines for Water and Land Related Resources Implementation Studies and Federal Water Resource Investments (PRG, 2018). The Plan-EA has gone through review by the State NRCS, National Watershed Management Center, and the National NRCS Headquarters, and is now available for public review and comment.
Current Status
The project is currently in the Draft Plan-EA stage and the public, organizations, and agencies are invited to provide comments on the preferred alternative and potential impacts.
