Sec.  230.6  Actions normally requiring an EIS.



    Actions normally requiring an EIS are:

    (a) Feasibility reports for authorization and construction of major 

projects;

    (b) Proposed changes in projects which increase size substantially 

or add additional purposes; and

    (c) Proposed major changes in the operation and/or maintenance of 

completed projects.

    District commanders may consider the use of an environmental 

assessment (EA) on these types of actions if early studies and 

coordination show that a particular action is not likely to have a 

significant impact on the quality of the human environment.
