Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for Pine Mountain Dam, Arkansas, General Reevaluation Report

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Little Rock District will prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Pine Mountain Dam, Arkansas, General Reevaluation Report. The purpose of the EIS will be to present alternatives and assess the impacts to the human environment associated with providing water supply to the surrounding areas in Arkansas from the proposed project. The study area includes the entire Lee Creek watershed together with the lower Lee Creek reservoir near Van Buren, AR. The proposed project could affect agriculture, recreation, flood control, water supply and natural resources within the study area. The EIS will evaluate potential impacts (positive and negative) to the natural, physical, and human environment as a result of implementing any of the proposed project alternatives that may be developed during the EIS process. This notice replaces a Notice of Intent (NOI) that was previously published in the Federal Register on May 1, 2006 (71 FR 25573) which included flood control as part of the project purpose. Flood control is no longer being considered as a project purpose.
