Corps seeks public input on proposed disc golf course EA, draft FONSI

Published March 22, 2012

BOISE, Idaho – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District (Corps), invites the public to comment not later than April 6, 2012, on its Environmental Assessment (EA) and draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for constructing a disc golf course at Lydle Gulch, a recreation area operated by Lucky Peak Dam and Lake near Boise, Idaho. 

The Corps proposes to enhance land-based recreation opportunities in the Lydle Gulch recreation area at Lucky Peak Dam and Lake by developing a flying-disc golf course. The proposed work would include the installation of tee pads and baskets, a parking lot, gate, restroom, shelter, bulletin board and signage.

 The Corps prepared an EA to address potential effects associated with the proposed “Lucky Peak Dam and Lake Lydle Gulch Disc Golf” and any reasonable alternatives. The Corps encourages the public to read and comment on the EA and draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), available for viewing or downloading on the Corps’ website at www.nww.usace.army.mil/LuckyPeakEA/default.asp. A limited number of paper copies of these documents are available by calling the Lucky Peak Dam and Lake Office at 208-343-0671.
