FEIS: The Corps has prepared a FEIS pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, to analyze the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects associated with the proposal. The purpose of the FEIS is to provide decision-makers and the public with information pertaining to the Proposed Action and alternatives, and to disclose environmental impacts and identify mitigation measures to reduce impacts. The FEIS was prepared in accordance with the NEPA, as amended, and the Corps regulations for NEPA implementation (33 CFR parts 230 and 325, Appendices B and C). The Corps, Tulsa District, Regulatory Office is the lead federal agency responsible for the FEIS and information contained in it will serve as the basis for a decision whether to issue a Section 404 permit. It also provides information for federal, state, and local agencies having jurisdictional responsibility for affected resources. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 6, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife participated as cooperating agencies in the formulation of the FEIS.
