On Jan. 16 Missouri Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Acting State Conservationist Grover DePriest signed a Record of Decision (ROD) supporting the installation of a multi-purpose reservoir in Caldwell County, Mo.
This decision fulfills National Environmental Policy Act requirements to assess the environmental impacts of this federal action and was based on the development of a comprehensive Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement.
The preferred alternative, which includes the construction of a 344-acre reservoir, will avoid environmental impacts to the extent possible while minimizing and mitigating for impacts that are unavoidable.
