CONCURRENT NOTICE

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

Date of Publication: May 9, 2024

Name of Responsible Entity: City of Starke

Address: 209 N. Thompson Street, Starke, FL 32091

Phone: (904) 964-5027

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Starke, Florida.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about May 28, 2024 the City of Starke, FL will submit a request to the Florida Department of Commerce (FC) for the release of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development (HCD) Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a public infrastructure improvements project within the City of Starke.

The proposed activity is the replacement of deteriorated water mains with safer more durable PVC water mains within the City of Starke, which is the County seat of Bradford County, Florida. The project will also involve installing/replacing fire hydrants in the same area that is served by the replaced water mains. The proposed water line replacement and fire hydrant activities will take place in Service Area #1 which includes the Old Lawtey Road and E. Brownlee Street area. The replaced water line will extend from Oak Street along Brownlee Street in an eastward direction for 1240 LF to Old Lawtey Road. From there the line will extend northward for 1275 LF along Old Lawtey Road to Crum Street. The fire hydrants will be located on the replaced water lines and at street intersections within the service area. The proposed locations include Oak Steet/North Street; Pine Street/Florida Street; Keller Street/North Street; Old Lawtey Road/Crosby Street; Keller Street/Brownlee Street; Pine Street/Brownlee Street; and Oak Street/Crosby Street. The area of benefit for these improvements is bounded by Oak Street to the west, Old Lawtey Road to the east, Pecan Tree Apartments to the south and North Street and Crum Street to the north. A portion of this area is located in the 100-year flood zone. After the water line and fire hydrant activities are completed, and if funds are available the City will use grant funds to install up to 54 water meters in Service Area 1. Also, the City will install one fire hydrant at the intersection of Crum Street and Old Lawtey Road, which is Service Area #2 and is also in the floodplain.

The anticipated funding sources for the proposed improvements include the following:

$700,000 from CDBG grant # 23DB-N10

$50,000 from the City of Starke, American Rescue Plan Funding

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Starke has 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 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at City of Starke City Hall, 209 N. Thompson Street, Starke, FL 32091, and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm., and by appointment during normal business hours.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of Starke at 209 N. Thompson Street, Starke, FL 32091. Comments may also be submitted by email to [email protected]. Additional information may be obtained by contacting Russell A, Mullins, City Manager at (904) 964-5027. All comments must be received by May 27, 2024. Comments will be considered prior to the City of Starke requesting a release of funds. Comments should specify which notice they are addressing.

RELEASE OF FUNDS

The City of Starke certifies to the Florida Department of Commerce and HUD that Scott Roberts, in his 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. The State’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Starke to use the CDBG funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

The Florida Department of Commerce will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Starke 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 Officer of the City of Starke; (b) the City of Starke has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the State; 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 at 24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76 and shall be addressed to the Florida Department of Commerce, CDBG Program, MSC-400, 107 East Madison Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399-6508. Potential objectors should contact the City of Starke to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
