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 City has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190).

An Environmental Review Record for this 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 the above address and is available for public examination and copying upon request at City Hall between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM.

No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of federal funds.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

All interested agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the City to the office of the undersigned. All comments must clearly specify which decision they object to – the Finding of No Significant Impact or the Request for Release of Funds. Such written comments should be received at Tekoa City Hall on or before 11/26/2010.

RELEASE OF GRANT FUNDS

The City of Tekoa will undertake the project described above with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.

The City of Tekoa is certifying to CTED that John Jaeger, in his official capacity as Mayor consent 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 of the certification is that upon its approval the City of Tekoa may use the CDBG funds and CTED will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other environmental responsibilities listed in 24 CFR Part 58.

CTED will accept an objection to its approval only if it is on one of the following bases: a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the certifying officer or other officer of applicant approved by CTED; or b) that 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.

Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to CTED/CDBG Program Staff at 906 Columbia Street SW, PO Box 48350, Olympia, Washington 98504-8350.
