Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity
in a 100-Year Floodplain
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals on 1/18/2012: This is to give notice that the Crockett County has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetland will have on the human environment for Community Development Block Grant Program under contract 711149. Crockett County's Sewer System Improvements proposes to install 2,400 LF of 6" PVC sewer line, 6 manholes, 34 service reconnects, pavement replacement, and all associated appurtenances at 3rd St from alley between Ave E and Ave F to Ave D, Ave D from Fairview Drive to 70 LF north of Young St, Young St from Ave D to eastern end of Young St, RR 2398 from Ave J to 1,800 LF southwest of Ave J; alternately, install an additional 700 LF of sewer line on Ave J from 11th St to Sheffield Rd, in Ozona, Crockett County. The project shall include activities within less than 1 acre of the 100-year floodplain. Crockett County has considered a reduction in scope, alternate locations, and no action to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values. This project shall comply with state and local floodplain protection procedures. Crockett County has reevaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request during regular business hours at the County Courthouse. This activity will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons: The project involves rehabilitating existing infrastructure, there shall be no significant increase to impervious surface, and best management practices shall be employed during construction. The primary purposes for this notice include (1) People who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas; (2) An adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool to disseminate information about floodplains and facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas; and (3) As a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received on or before 1/26/2012 by Crockett County at P.O. Box 1857, 909 Avenue D, Ozona, TX 76943, (325) 392-2965. Attention: Fred Deaton, County Judge, during regular business hours. Comments may also be submitted via email to juliem@grantworks.net.
