FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ADEM Fund Code 245

North Marshall Utilities
Marshall County
SRF Project No. FS010230-03

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $1,164,000 in financial assistance available to North Marshall Utilities from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan program.  In accordance with State and Federal regulations that govern 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 these sanitary sewer improvements.

North Marshall Utilities proposes a project to provide potable drinking water to residents in the Bishop Mountain community.  The proposed project will consist of the installation of approximately 22,500 LF of new water main, construction of a 50,000 gallon elevated water storage tank and a new booster pumping station with related appurtenances for all facilities (including installation of remote monitoring equipment).  Completion of this project will address a public health concern by eliminating the use of contaminated residential wells, thus providing safe drinking water for the residents that reside on Bishop Mountain.

The Department has determined that the proposed projects will not have a significant adverse impact on the environment and consequently is herewith issuing a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to support the use of SRF funds for the construction of the proposed projects.  However, this determination may be reconsidered if significant adverse information concerning the potential environmental impacts of the proposed projects is discovered.  Attached is an Environmental Assessment that details the proposed projects and their impact upon the environment.

Comments relative to these projects should be submitted in writing to Ms. Corynella L. Price,
SRF Section, Permits and Services Division, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 301463, Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1463, no later than 30 days after the date of public notice.  The Department will not take formal action to proceed with the proposed projects without carefully evaluating any public comments concerning funding of the proposed projects.

Notice is hereby given this 17th day of March, 2021, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
