CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW

ADEM Fund Code 203

Etowah County

SRF Project No. CS011044-01

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $5,050,000 in financial assistance avail-able to the Water and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and State Revolving Fund (SRF).  In accordance with State and Federal regulations that gov-ern the program, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management has conducted a review to assess the potential impacts upon the environment that may result from implementation of this project.

The Water and Sewer Board of the City of Gadsden proposes improvements to its sanitary sewer system.  The project consists of replacement and rehabilitation of numerous sewer lines using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), pipe bursting, and manhole repairs. These areas have been determined to have substantial infiltration/inflow (I/I).  Completion of this project will provide for a much-improved sewer system.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has determined that the project qualifies for a Categorical Exclusion (CE) from further environmental study under the guidelines specified by the State Environmental Review Process (SERP) which specifically include actions which are solely directed toward minor rehabilitation of existing facilities, functional replacement of equipment, or towards the construction of new ancillary facilities adjacent or appurtenant to existing facilities.  However, this decision may be reconsidered if significant adverse information concerning the potential environmental impacts of the project is

discovered.

Comments relative to this project should be submitted in writing to Mr. Thomas Cade Runyan,

SRF Section, Permits & Services Division, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 301463, Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1463, no later than 30 days after the date of this notice.  The Alabama Department of Environmental Management will not take formal action to proceed with the project without carefully evaluating any public comments opposing the project.

Notice is hereby given this 13th day of May, 2024, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
