FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ADEM Fund Code 203
SRF Project No. CS010270-11

Marshall County

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $2,900,000 in financial assistance available to Guntersville Water Board using funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) 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 this project.

Guntersville Water Board proposes to rehabilitate the collection system, the existing lift stations, and the treatment plant. The collection system improvements include new gravity sewer lines upstream of Lift Station 8, and investigation and rehabilitation of the collection system in basins LS6, LS7, LS9, LS10, Water Well Basin, and Railroad Station Basin to include manholes, laterals, and trunk sewers. The treatment plant improvements include additional screening facilities at the headworks, the addition of a third clarifier, two new UV disinfection systems, an aerobic digester, and a blower. The proposed project would prevent sanitary sewer overflows and improve reliability and efficiency for existing customers.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has determined that the project 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 DWSRF funds for the construction of the proposed project. However, this decision may be reconsidered if significant adverse information concerning the potential environmental impacts of the project is discovered. Attached is an Environmental Assessment that details the proposed project and its impact upon the environment.

Comments relative to this project should be submitted in writing to Mrs. Kelly Bibb, 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 public 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 16th day of July, 2025, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
