The affected WRP properties in Louisiana are the Little Tensas Bayou Farm/Pilgrims Place and Charles Fondren WRPs. The affected WRP properties in Mississippi are the Willow Break, LLC and the M. James Chaney, Jr. WRP.

The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various federal, state, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy request at the above address. Basic data collected during the environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Kevin D. Norton.

No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal Register .
