This is to give notice that the City of Eastland (City) has determined that the following proposed action under the Texas General Land Office Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Funds Program (CDBG-MIT), Contract #22-082-004-D199, is located in the 100-Year Floodplain and Wetland, and the City will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and wetland and the potential impacts on the floodplain and wetland from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988 and 11990 in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. Project Description: Flood and Drainage Improvements to mitigate flooding: Subrecipient shall upgrade existing outfalls and complete all associated appurtenances. Approximately 5-acres of activities from street improvements will be in Zone AE and approximately 75-acres from creek and lake activities will be in Zone A of the 100-Year Floodplain. Approximately 80 acres of activities from creek and lake activities will occur in Riverine, Freshwater Forested/Shrub, and Freshwater Emergent Wetlands. The natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain and wetlands will not be adversely affected, as the improved conveyance of storm waters will mitigate future flooding.
Project locations under this contract were included in the Early Notice that was published in the Eastland County Today on 1/6/22. This notice provides updates to locations with changes.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and wetlands, and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment, should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain and wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains and wetland, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the City at the following address on or before 3/22/24: City of Eastland, 113 E. Commerce St, or P.O. Box 749, Eastland, TX 76448, (254) 629-8321, Attn: Mayor Larry Vernon. A full description of the project will be made available to the public for review either electronically or by U.S. mail. Please submit your request by U.S. mail to the address stated above or by email to citysec@eastlandtexas.gov.

Este es para notificar que la Ciudad de Eastland (Ciudad) ha determinado que la siguiente acción propuesta bajo el Programa de Fondos de Mitigación de Subsidios en Bloque para el Desarrollo Comunitario de la Oficina General de Tierras de Texas (CDBG-MIT), Contrato #22-082-004-D199, es ubicado en la llanura aluvial y el humedal de 100 años, y la Ciudad identificará y evaluará alternativas practicables para ubicar la acción en la llanura aluvial y el humedal y los impactos potenciales en la llanura aluvial y el humedal de la acción propuesta, según lo exige la Orden Ejecutiva 11988 y 11990 de acuerdo con las regulaciones del HUD en 24 CFR 55.20 Subparte C Procedimientos para tomar determinaciones sobre el manejo de llanuras aluviales y la protección de humedales. Descripción del proyecto: Mejoras de inundaciones y drenaje para mitigar las inundaciones: el subreceptor mejorará los emisarios existentes y completará todos los accesorios asociados. Aproximadamente 5 acres de actividades de mejoras de calles estarán en la Zona AE y aproximadamente 75 acres de actividades de arroyos y lagos estarán en la Zona A de la llanura aluvial de 100 años. Aproximadamente 80 acres de actividades de arroyos y lagos se llevarán a cabo en humedales ribereños, boscosos/arbustivos de agua dulce y humedales emergentes de agua dulce. Las funciones naturales y beneficiosas de la llanura aluvial y los humedales no se verán afectadas negativamente, ya que la mejora del transporte de aguas pluviales mitigará futuras inundaciones.

Hay tres propósitos principales para este aviso. En primer lugar, se debe dar a las personas que puedan verse afectadas por las actividades en llanuras aluviales y humedales, y a quienes tengan interés en la protección del medio ambiente natural, la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones y proporcionar información sobre estas áreas. Se anima a los comentaristas a ofrecer sitios alternativos fuera de la llanura aluvial y el humedal, métodos alternativos para cumplir el mismo propósito del proyecto y métodos para minimizar y mitigar los impactos. En segundo lugar, un programa adecuado de avisos públicos puede ser una importante herramienta educativa pública. La difusión de información y la solicitud de comentarios públicos sobre llanuras aluviales y humedales pueden facilitar y mejorar los esfuerzos federales para reducir los riesgos e impactos asociados con la ocupación y modificación de estas áreas especiales. En tercer lugar, por una cuestión de justicia, cuando el gobierno federal determina que participará en acciones que se llevan a cabo en llanuras aluviales y humedales, debe informar a quienes puedan estar expuestos a un riesgo mayor o continuo.
La Ciudad debe recibir los comentarios por escrito en la siguiente dirección a más tardar el 22 de marzo de 2024: Ciudad de Eastland, 113 E. Commerce St, o P.O. Box 749, Eastland, TX 76448, (254) 629-8321, a la atención de: Alcalde Larry Vernon. Se pondrá a disposición del público una descripción completa del proyecto para su revisión, ya sea electrónicamente o por correo postal. Envíe su solicitud por correo postal de EE. UU. a la dirección indicada anteriormente o por correo electrónico a citysec@eastlandtexas.gov.
