The area is currently served by aged and deteriorating infrastructure. Residents in the area have reported sewer back-ups and surcharges occurring from manholes within their neighborhood presenting an on-going safety and public health hazard for the residents. The proposed improvements will consist of targeting the worst conditions in the Target Area identified through the proposed televising and smoke testing of segments of the existing system. This will allow for spot repairs, cleaning, and pipe replacements as necessary to provide adequate sanitary service to local residents and improved efficiency of the City’s system. All sewer manholes in the target area will be inspected and the necessary repairs will be implemented.Project Location: Adams Court, Carey J. Buckner Street, Eleventh Street, Fourteenth Street, Lyons Street, Mill Street, Ninth Street, Parkview Drive, Richardson Street, Sanders Court, Thirteenth Street, Twelfth Street, Watts Circle, Wilson StreetFinding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI)It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of human environment and, accordingly, the above named City has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P L 91-190).The reasons for such determination not to prepare such statement are as follows: The project will have no significant adverse impact on the environment.An Environmental Review Record respecting the proposed project has been made by the above named City which documents the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at Barnesville City Hall, 109 Forsyth Street, Barnesville, Georgia and is available for public examination and copying upon request between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the Request for Release of Funds.Public Comments On FONSIAll interested agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the City to Barnesville City Hall. Such written comments should be received at 109 Forsyth Street, Barnesville, Georgia 30204, on or before April 16, 2014. All such comments so received will be considered and the City will not request the release of CDBG funds or take administrative action on the within project prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence.Notice Of Intent To Request Release Of Funds (NOI /RROF)At least one day after the termination of the public comments period for the FONSI, but not before comments on the FONSI have been considered and resolved, the City of Barnesville will submit a Request for Release of Funds (RROF) and Certification to DCA. By so doing, the City will ask DCA to allow it to commit funds to this project certifying that (1) it has performed the environmental review prescribed by HUD regulations (‘Environmental Review Procedures for Title I Community Development Block Grant Program’ – 24 CFR Part 58), and 2) the Certifying Officer, Peter L. Banks, Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review or resulting decision making and action. The legal effect of the certification is that by approving it, DCA will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Protection Act thus allowing the City of Barnesville to commit Community Development Block Grant funds to this project.Objection To Release Of FundsDCA will accept objections to this approval of the release of funds and the certification only if it is on one of the following bases: a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer, or b) that the applicant’s Environmental Review Record for the project indicated omission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to DCA at CDBG Section, 60 Executive Park South, Atlanta, Georgia 30329-2231.Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by the State. No objection received after May 6, 2014 will be considered by DCA.Peter L. Banks, Mayor City of Barnesville 109 Forsyth Street Barnesville, Georgia 30204 (4-1)(1)(b)(ts)(aff)gpn14Notice Of Explanation(For Floodplain Compliance)City Of BarnesvilleFY2014 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)Sewer ImprovementsPublication Date: April 1, 2014Notice is hereby given of a determination that there is no practicable alternative to locating in or impacting a floodplain by the following proposed project:The City of Barnesville is requesting $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to assist in the construction of sanitary sewer system improvements to replace inadequate facilities serving an approximate 95-acre Target Area on the northwest side of the City. The area is currently served by aged and deteriorating infrastructure. Residents in the area have reported sewer back-ups and surcharges occurring from manholes within their neighborhood presenting an on-going safety and public health hazard for the residents.The proposed improvements will consist of targeting the deficient conditions in the Target Area identified through the proposed televising and smoke testing of segments of the existing system. This will allow for spot repairs, cleaning, and pipe replacements as necessary to provide adequate sanitary service to local residents and improved efficiency of the City’s system. All sewer manholes in the target area will be inspected and the necessary repairs will be implemented. A small segment of the existing sewer network occurs in 100-year flood zones and may need rehabilitation. However, the existing topography will be restored, and there will be no long term impacts to drainage or flood storage capacity.The project consists of rehabilitation of an existing sanitary sewer piping network which occurs within a small portion of the 100 year floodplain. Spot repairs may need to be made in some of the flood zone pipe segments if deficiencies are identified during cleaning and televising phase.The project location is predetermined by the location of the existing sewers; the only other project alternative is ‘no action’. Repairs to the impacted segments, if required, will improve existing conditions and reduce the potential for pollutant migration during flood events.Rehabilitation activities require minimal surface impacts; disturbances are filled, compacted, and seeded the same day as the repair.The City of Barnesville is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). However, the sewer network is not eligible for the NFIP.The proposed rehabilitation activities will not affect existing drainage patterns and/or flood storage capacity.Any required rehabilitation of sewers within the flood zone will benefit existing floodplain conditions by eliminating potential pollutant sources from exfiltration.Environmental clearances for this project are processed with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). No other permitting Agencies are required for this activity.The City of Barnesville has additional information on the proposal and such information may be obtained at Barnesville City Hall located at 109 Forsyth Street, Barnesville, GA 30204 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Comments respecting the proposed project may be submitted to Mr. Jason Shirey, Director, Barnesville Public Works & Utilities no later than April 16, 2014.Peter L.
