Modification Project, Big Stone Lake - Whetstone River.
Abstract
This supplement has been prepared to address a significant alignment change for the proposed diversion channel into the project U.S. Highway 75 Reservoir in the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge and to fulfill requirements which were established subsequent to preparation of the final EIS: (1) the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, and (2) Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 and applicable Corps of Engineers regulations and guidance. The supplement itself consists of three parts: (1) an evaluation of the significant environmental impacts which would be expected to result from construction of the alternative diversion channels along the new alignment; (2) a Section 404(b)(1) evaluation of all remaining fill activities associated with work on the Whetstone and Minnesota Rivers; and (3) a biological assessment which addresses the impacts of remaining work on all currently listed threatened and endangered species.
