CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
ADEM Fund Code 245
SRF Project No. CS010956-01

Colbert County

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made up to $9,322,870 in financial assistance available to the Town of Littleville using funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund – Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (CWSRF-IIJA) loan program and 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 Town of Littleville proposes a project to improve their wastewater treatment facility, sanitary sewer collection system, and sanitary sewer lift stations. The project consists of improvements to the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) to include repair of one drying bed, the addition of a second drying bed, revision of the sludge handling process, new controls and panels, and refinishing of the existing tankage. It also includes the rehabilitation of all remaining sanitary sewer mains that are at least 8-inches in diameter within the collection system, and improvements to existing lift stations. The proposed project would reduce sanitary sewer overflows, decrease system power consumption, reduce system operations and maintenance costs, and prevent the discharge of inadequately treated wastewater to the environment.

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 relative to this project should be submitted in writing to Mrs. Kelly Bibb, SRF Branch, Permits & Services Division, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 301463, Montgomery, Alabama 36130, 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 December, 2025, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
