COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF ...

COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS FOR TIERED PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS August 16, 2024 City of Ashland Department of Community and Economic Development 1700 Greenup Avenue, PO Box 1839 Ashland, KY 41105 (606) 385-3324 These notices shall satisfy two separate, but related, procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Ashland for the Program Year 2024 demolition program. REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or after September 1, 2024, the City of Ashland will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383), as amended, to undertake the following project: Tier 1 Broad Review Project/Program Title: Demolitions PY24 FY25 Purpose: This project will remove unsafe buildings and structures, thereby removing contributing elements to slum and blight conditions. Secondary to the purpose is to stabilize declining neighborhood property values and presenting favorable conditions for property redevelopment. Location: Specific locations have yet to be determined. These scattered sites will be within the 17 square mile geographic area of Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky. Project/Program Description: This project will utilize CDBG funding to identify, test, abate, remove, and dispose of substandard, unsafe buildings, thereby alleviating slum and blight conditions on a city-wide basis, improving public safety and stabilizing declining neighborhoods. Tier 2 site-specific reviews will be completed for those laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review for each address under this program once sites are identified. Level of Environmental Review Citation: 24 CFR Part 58.36 Tier 2 Site Specific Review: For all projects, the site-specific reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: Contamination and Toxic Substances (24 CFR Part 50.3(i)&58.5(i)(2)); Endangered Species (Endangered Species Act of 1973, particularly section 7; 50 CFR Part 402); Floodplain Management (Executive Order 11988, particularly section 2(a); 24 CFR Part 55); Historic Preservation (National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, particularly sections 106&110; 36 CFR Part 800); and Wetlands Protection (Executive Order 11990, particularly sections 2 and 5). Estimated Project Cost: The total estimated cost of the project is $100,000 with $100,000 from CDBG funds. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT The City of Ashland has determined that these projects will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at City of Ashland, Department of Community and Economic Development, 1700 Greenup Avenue, Room 208, Ashland, KY 41101 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of Ashland Department of Community and Economic Development, PO Box 1839, Ashland, KY 41105 or by email to Jacob Risner, Program and Grant Administrator, at jrisner@ashlandky.gov. All comments received by August 31, 2024 will be considered by the City of Ashland prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which notice they are addressing. ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION The City of Ashland certifies to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that Michelle Veach, in her capacity as Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Ashland to use HUD program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of AshlandÂ's certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Ashland; (b) the City of Ashland has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; 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 quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and should be sent to the Louisville Field Office of CPD at CPD_COVID-19OEE-LOU@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Michelle Veach, Certifying Officer
