West Fork Kickapoo Watershed; Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement

This notice of availability presents the Record of Decision (ROD) on a Watershed Project Plan--Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Plan-PEIS) for the West Fork Kickapoo (WFK) Watershed prepared in partnership with Monroe and Vernon Counties, Wisconsin (Sponsors). This notice announces the plan to proceed with the implementation of Alternative 7--Proposed Action--Decommission All Dams and Replace Jersey Valley County Park Dam (WFK-1) with a high hazard, multi-purpose dam, identified in the Plan-PEIS. Alternative 7 proposes to decommission dams by excavating a notch to pass the 100-year flood without impounding water. It also proposes to replace WFK-1 with a high hazard, multi-purpose dam approximately 1,000 feet downstream of the existing dam. This action will avoid environmental impacts to the extent possible and mitigate impacts that are unavoidable.
