SPA 124 Decision Notice BLM Cow Creek

Decision Notice

The BLM is proposing to use low-tech process-based restoration (LTPBR) techniques to achieve aquatic and riparian goals for Cow Creek. The proposed project will improve and stabilize channel conditions in a reach that has been overly straightened. The project will increase stream channel complexity by adding new structural elements (PALS and BDAs), inundate the adjacent floodplain, and improve stream sinuosity over time.

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.
