Finding of No Significant Impact, Hoback Junction Water & Sewer District, Hoback Junction Water System, Level III Project

As required by guideline for the Wyoming State Environmental Review Process, the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has performed an environmental review on the proposed State Revolving Fund (SRF) supported action below:

Project: Hoback Junction Water System, Level III Project

Location: Teton County, Wyoming

Total Cost/SRF share: $6,758,500/$1,460,000

The proposed project consists of design and construction of a new water system, including raw water supply, treatment, storage, transmission, and distribution.

Property assessments will repay the loan, and the average rate is estimated to be the equivalent of $109.00/month per user. Loan terms will be 1% interest rate and 30 years.

No significant adverse environmental impacts will occur due to this project. The proposed project will not adversely affect wetlands, prime agricultural lands, threatened or endangered species habitat, historical sites, or sites with environmentally sensitive characteristics. The primary impacts of the project will be short-term and construction related.

The review process did not indicate significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed action. Consequently, DEQ has made a preliminary decision not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). DEQ has taken this action on the basis of a review of the environmental assessment document and other supporting data, which are on file at the DEQ Cheyenne Office. The public may review these documents upon request.

Comments supporting or disagreeing with this decision may be submitted for DEQ consideration. Requests for information about the proposed decision may be directed

to Greg Crocker, SRF Project Manager by email ([email protected]) or phone (307) 777-6941).
