Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District (District) announces the availability of the Draft Environmental Assessment for the Cagles Mill Lake Integrated Master Plan.
The District has conducted an Environmental Assessment (EA) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA), and the Department of Defense's (DOD)
NEPA implementation procedures. The Draft EA document dated September 2025 evaluated alternatives and environmental impacts associated with the proposed update of the original Cagles Mill Lake 1979 Master Plan. The EA evaluated the Recommended Plan and the No Action Alternative (NAA) for potential impacts to natural, cultural, and socioeconomic resources.
In addition to the NAA, one action alternative was considered. Both alternatives are described in detail in Section 7.2 of the draft EA. The Recommended Plan entails the revision of the 1979 Cagles Mill Master Plan to include updated land classifications, updated resource objectives, and updated resource recommendations.
The draft EA, draft Master Plan, and draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) document can be viewed at the following link: https://usace.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16021coll7/id/28257
