CONCURRECT NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
AND NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
Date of Publication: December 24, 2009
City of Millen
P.O. Box 929
Millen, Georgia 30442
(478) 982-6100
TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS
On or about January 11,2010, the above named city will request the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to
release Federal funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, for the following
project:
City of Millen 2010 Sewer Rehabilitation Project. The greatest public facility need in the City of Millen at this time is to
provide sanitary sewer improvements that includes sections of Winthrop Avenue, Dixie Crescent Drive, Lee Street, Hill
Street and Tanglewood Drive. This area is referred to as the Knox Home Neighborhood.
FINDING 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 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).
The reasons for such decision not to prepare such Statement are as follows: Upon review, it has been determined that this
project as proposed meets the requirements of all applicable statutes and is in compliance with all applicable regulations.
It has been determined that this project will not have a significant adverse environmental impact on the human environment.
An Environmental Review Record regarding 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 Record is on file at the Millen City Hall in the City Manager’s Office located at 919 College
Avenue in Millen, Georgia. It is available for public examination and copying upon request Monday thru Friday between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of Federal
funds.
PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FONSI
All interested agencies, groups and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for
consideration by the county. Such written comments should be received at 919 College Avenue, Millen, Georgia 30442 on
or before January 11,2010. All such comments so received will be considered and the city will not request the release of
Federal funds or take any administrative action on the proposed 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 comment period for the FONSI but not before comments on the FONSI
have been considered and resolved, the City of Millen 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, A. King Rocker, 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 Environment Act, thus allowing the City of Millen to commit
Community Development Block Grant funds to this project.
OBJECTION TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
DCA will accept objection 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 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 January 27, 2010 will be considered by DCA. Qj t y |y|j|| en
