On or about May 8, 2023 the

above-named RE will request the

Washington State Department

of Commerce (Commerce) to

release federal funds under Title

I of the Housing and Community

Development Act of 1974 (PL

93-383) for the following project:

Project Title or Name: 2023

Water and Roadway Improvements

(Quail Loop Waterline

Replacement)

Purpose or Nature of the Project:

The proposed project will

replace waterlines along Clarence

Street, Iowa Street, Vulcan

Street, and Wilber Road; and will

provide chip seal to these roads

as well as to Florenz St, East 8th

Street, North I Street, North L

Street, and North S Street.

Location of the Project: Town of

Lind, within the rights-of-way of

the roads named above.

Estimated Cost of the Project:

$962,825

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT

IMPACT The Town of Lind

determined that the project

will have no significant impact

on the human environment.

Therefore, an Environmental

Impact Statement under the

National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (PL 91-190) is not

required. Additionally, project

information is contained in the

Environmental Review Record

(ERR) on file at Lind Town Hall,

116 ½ W. 2nd Street, Lind WA

and is available for examination

and copying weekdays between

9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group or agency

disagreeing with this determination

or wishing to comment on

the project may submit written

comments to Lind Town Hall. All

comments received by May 4,

2023 will be considered by the

Town of Lind prior to authorizing

submission of a request for

release of funds. Comments

should specify which Notice they

are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS

The Town of Lind certifies to

Commerce that Paula Bell in

her capacity as Mayor consents

to accept the jurisdiction of the

Federal Courts if an action is

brought to enforce responsibilities

in relation to the environmental

review process and that

these responsibilities have been

satisfied. Commerce’s approval

of the certification satisfies its

responsibilities under NEPA and

related laws and authorities, and

allows the Town of Lind to use

State Community Development

Block Grant (CDBG) Funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE

OF FUNDS Commerce will

accept objections to its release

of funds and the Town of Lind’s

certification for a period of fifteen

days following the anticipated

submission date or its actual

receipt of the request (whichever

is later) only if they are on one

of the following bases: a) the

certification was not executed

by the Certifying Official of the

Town of Lind; b) the RE has

omitted a step or failed to make

a decision or finding required

by HUD regulations at 24 CFR

Part 58; (c) the RE has committed

funds or incurred costs

not authorized by 24 CFR Part

58 before approval of a release

of funds by Commerce; or (d)

another Federal agency acting

pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504

has submitted a written finding

that the project is unsatisfactory

from the standpoint of environmental

quality. Objections must

be prepared and submitted in

accordance with the required

procedures (24 CFR Part 58)

and shall be addressed to Local

Government Division, Community

Development Block Grant

Program Manager, Department

of Commerce, 1011 Plum Street

SE, PO Box 42525, Olympia,

Washington. 98504-2525. Potential

objectors should contact

last day of the objection period.
