{"abstract":"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District (USACE) has received an application for a Department of the Army Permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) to construct Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir. In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the USACE has determined that issuance of such a permit may have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment and, therefore, requires the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The USACE intends to prepare an EIS to assess the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental, social, and economic effects of issuance of a Department of the Army permit under Section 404 of the CWA for discharges of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States (U.S.) associated with the construction of the proposed water supply reservoir. In the EIS, the USACE will assess potential impacts associated with a range of alternatives. The preparation of an EIS begins with a scoping process to determine the issues to be addressed in the EIS. The NTMWD provides wholesale treated water supply, wastewater treatment, and regional solid waste services to 45 member cities and customers in a service area covering all or parts of Collin, Dallas, Denton, Fannin, Hunt, Kaufman, Rains, and Rockwall Counties in north central Texas. The Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir, if constructed, would be a non-federal project constructed, owned and operated by NTMWD.","action":"Notice of Intent.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"Department of the Army; Corps of Engineers","name":"Engineers Corps","id":142,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/engineers-corps","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/142","parent_id":103,"slug":"engineers-corps"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2009/11/13/E9-27262.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"74 FR 58616","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"A Public Scoping Meeting will be held December 8, 2009, from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E9-27262","effective_on":null,"end_page":58617,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2009/11/13/E9-27262.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/11/13/E9-27262/intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-for-the-proposed-construction-of-lower-bois-darc","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E9-27262?publication_date=2009-11-13","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2009-11-13/E9-27262/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":39,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-11-13/pdf/E9-27262.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2009-11-13","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2009/11/13/E9-27262.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=COE-2009-0058","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"COE-2009-0058","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Construction of Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir in Fannin County, TX","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2009-11-13T18:06:23Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":58616,"subtype":null,"title":"Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Construction of Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir in Fannin County, TX","toc_doc":"Proposed Construction of Lower Bois d'Arc Creek Reservoir in Fannin County, TX","toc_subject":"Environmental Impact Statements; Availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":74}
