Enoch City East Bench Watershed (Sponsor = Enoch City)

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 Enoch City as the project sponsor, are proposing to fund through the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act [Public Law (PL) 83-566], improvements within the East Bench Watershed. East Bench Watershed is located east of Interstate 15, in the Enoch City area of Iron County. The proposal includes the construction of detention basins and flood control structures within the East Bench Watershed to reduce flood risk to downstream property owners.

NEPA Analysis

NRCS, as the lead federal agency, is initiating 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 and the Natural Resources Conservation Service Regulations (7 CFR Part 650), which require an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with federal projects and actions.

Current Status

Resource inventories are complete. Alternatives evaluation is underway.
