CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
ADEM Fund Code 245
SRF Project No. CS011130-01

Chilton County

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $718,917.42 in financial assistance available to the Town of Maplesville using funds from the Clean Water Revolving Fund - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (CWSRF-IIJA) 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.

The Town of Maplesville proposes a project to expand their sanitary sewer collection system. The project consists of expansion of the sanitary sewer collection system to include connections to existing households and businesses along State Route 22 and connecting streets from Oil Tank Road to West Fraser Mill. The proposed project would increase influent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), thereby improving the treatment process at the WWTP, which is currently underutilized.

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, Engineering Section, 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 5th day of July, 2026, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
