The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $1,281,000 in financial assistance available to the City of Weaver using funds from the FY 2009 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan program and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). 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 drinking water improvements.

The City of Weaver is proposing a project to provide additional water storage and supply for its citizens. Improvements include the construction of the following: a concrete storage tank, water distribution main, and a well with a backup power supply. Completion of these improvements will improve reliability of the existing structures, increase water quality, improve the water distribution system and ensure that the system is meeting the water quality standards of its operating permit.

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 and Operator Certification Section, Permit 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 this FONSI. 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.

This notice is hereby given this July 1, 2009, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
