FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ADEM Fund Code 203
SRF Project No. CS010239-06

St. Clair County

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $5,867,979.00 in financial assistance available to the City of Pell City utilizing funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loan program and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). 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.

The City of Pell City proposes to construct a new lift station and associated force main. The proposed project would replace two existing lift stations which have outlasted the useful life of the equipment with one new lift station and associated force main. The proposed project will increase reliability for existing customers and prevent future sanitary sewer overflows.

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 related 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 5:00 PM on Monday, September 8, 2025. 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 on this 7th day of August, 2025, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
