One Nation, Under God
One Nation, Under God
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS
On or before August 6th, 2024 the above-named Town will request the Montana Department of Commerce (DOC) to release Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds provided under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (PL 93-383) for the following project:
Town of Dodson Water System Improvements
Construction includes replacement of water mains, installation of transmission mains, installation of appurtenances and fittings, well pump replacement, control system upgrades, and surface restoration. Overall, the proposed project involves meeting DEQ standards through comprehensive improvements to Dodson’s water system infrastructure, focusing on enhancing reliability, compliance, and sustainability.
Town of Dodson, Montana
Finding of No Significant Impact
It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly the above named Town has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190).
The reasons for the decision not to prepare such Statement are as follows:
The findings of the Environmental Assessment for the Dodson Water Systems Improvement Project provide evidence that there will be minimal, if any, impacts on the human population and physical environment of that area. Minimal impacts can be mitigated by project actions and/or permits required for the project.
An Environmental Review Record documenting review of all project activities in respect to impacts on the environment has been made by the above-named Town. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the above address and is available for public examination and copying upon request. Please contact the Town Hall at (406) 603-0480 to make arrangements to view the Environmental Review Record.
No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of CDBG project funds.
Public Comments on Findings
All interested agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the Town to the office of the undersigned on or before August 2nd, 2024. All such comments so received will be considered and the Town will not request release of funds or take any administrative action on the project prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence.
Release of Funds
The Town of Dodson will undertake the project described above with CDBG funds provided by DOC under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The Town of Dodson is certifying to DOC that The Town of Dodson and the Mayor of Dodson, Skip Cole, in his official capacity as Mayor of Dodson consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect on the certification is that upon its approval, the Town of Dodson may use the CDBG funds and DOC will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
Objections to State Release of Funds
The Department of Commerce will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following bases:
(a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the chief executive officer or other officer approved by the Department of Commerce;
(b) that the applicant’s environmental review record for the project indicates omission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process;
(c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by DOC; or
(d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental design.
Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to: Department of Commerce, Community Development Division, 301 S. Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200523, Helena, Montana 59620.
Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by DOC. No objection received after August 26th, 2024 will be considered by DOC.
