Decision Notice USFS Little Willow

The Rocky Mountain Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest is proposing to replace an undersized round culvert with a 60’x12’ span 6’3” rise steel structural plate arch culvert. The proposed new culvert will have greater flow capacity and will increase flow capacity for high water events. This reduces the risk of damage to the road during high water events. The project may also improve aquatic organism habitat and passage.

Based on the environmental review provided in the Draft EA, and, to the greatest extent possible, in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and policies, FWP determined the proposed action (Alternative 2), will not have significant adverse impacts on the human environment associated with the proposed action and constitutes a reasonable and appropriate strategy to achieve identified objectives. Therefore, preparation of an environmental impact statement or EIS is unnecessary. FWP hereby adopts the Draft EA as final and approves Alternative 2, the Proposed Action.
