DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


Office of the Assistant Secretary--Water and Science; 
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Restoration of a Portion of 
Lower Hobble Creek

AGENCY: Central Utah Project Completion Act Completion Office, 
Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Department of the Interior, the 
Central Utah Water Conservancy District, and the Utah Reclamation 
Mitigation and Conservation Commission, as joint leads, are initiating 
an Environmental Assessment of the impacts associated with the proposed 
restoration of the eastern portion of Lower Hobble Creek, near 
Springville, Utah. This restoration effort is intended to facilitate 
the recovery of the June Sucker (Chasmistes liorus), a Federally listed 
endangered species, through improvement of spawning habitat and 
maintenance of stream flow. It is anticipated that the resultant effort 
would include the possible restoration of approximately 2 miles of 
stream channel, potential modification or removal of several existing 
barriers to fish passage, and enhancement of the existing water supply.

DATES: Date and location for public scoping will be announced locally.
