The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers USACE, Northwestern Division, Omaha District NWDNWO, has prepared this Environmental Assessment EA to evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed Lake Yankton Fish Population Renovation Project.

This EA provides sufficient information on the potential adverse and beneficial environmental effects to allow the USACE District Commander to make an informed decision on the appropriateness of an Environmental Impact Statement EIS or a Finding of No Significant Impact FONSI. If the EA indicates that no significant impact is likely, then the agency can release a FONSI, completing the NEPA process.
