Book excerpt: "The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District (Corps) is proposing to implement a long-term nutrient supplementation program at the Dworshak Dam and Reservoir Project on the North Fork of the Clearwater River near Ahsahka, Idaho. The Corps manages the reservoir and surrounding lands for multiple purposes including recreation and fish and wildlife habitat/mitigation. This nutrient supplementation program would address biological productivity in the reservoir and assist with the management of certain undesirable blue-green algae that adversely affect reservoir fisheries and interfere with public use of the reservoir. This environmental assessment (EA) addresses potential environmental effects associated with the proposed action and any reasonable alternatives. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and subsequent implementing regulations promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality, this assessment is being prepared to determine whether the proposed action constitutes a "major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment..." and whether an environmental impact statement is required."--Introduction (page 1).
