Summary
The U.S. Army Engineer District, Louisville Corps of Engineers is initiating the preparation of a Draft Supplement to a Final EIS for a regulatory permit application from the City of Marion, Illinois. The proposed action by the City of Marion is the construction of a water supply reservoir on Sugar Creek in Williamson and Johnson Counties, Illinois by the City of Marion, Illinois. The Draft supplement will address only the alternative action of purchase of water from Rend Lake, an existing reservoir in southern Illinois.
For Further Information Contact
Questions or comments concerning the preparation of this Draft Supplement to the Final EIS should be addressed to Mr. Terry Siemsen at the above address or by telephone (502) 582-5550.
Supplementary Information
The Louisville District prepared a Draft and Final EIS (Final EIS completed July 1995) for this permit application. The Final EIS concluded that purchase of water from Rend Lake by the City of Marion was not a viable alternative since the information available at that time indicated that the available water supply of that reservoir was fully committed. Since that document was completed and circulated for public opinion, additional information has been provided to the Louisville District that indicates that the public water supply capability of Rend Lake has not been fully committed.
