CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
ADEM Fund Code 203

The City of Alexander City
Tallapoosa County
SRF Project No. CS010329-04

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $9,179,200 in financial assistance available to The City of Alexander City using funds from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) 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 City of Alexander City proposes a project to construct adequate systems to convey wastewater flow along HWY 280 to the Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment and discharge. The project consists of two new pump stations along with force main and appurtenances from the new pump stations to the treatment plant. Force main will be installed along existing right of way. The project will alleviate current capacity problems and prevent 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 relative to this project should be submitted in writing to Mrs. Juliette Waid, SRF Section, Permits & Services Division, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 301463, Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1463, no later than 30 days after the date of this 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 4th day of May, 2022, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
