This is to give notice that Village of Frazeysburg has determined that the following proposed action under the CDBG RPIG Program is located in the 500-year floodplain, and the Village of Frazeysburg will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by [Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990], in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The Village of Frazeysburg is performing improvements to its water treatment plant, which will include Dualator VI filter media and underdrain replacement, painting of tankage; softener media and underdrain replacement; expansion of chlorine room; temporary filter equipment during repairs and miscellaneous work as necessary for a complete project. The Village received a CDBG RPIG grant to assist with the project. The project site is a small section of a 13.6 acres site located at 6605 Bluebird Lane in Frazeysburg, Ohio.
There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains 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, 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 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, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. It should be noted that all construction activities will take place inside the existing building with the exception of a small amount of bypass piping, which will replace current piping to the Dualator outside the building.
Written comments must be received by Village of Frazeysburg at the following address on or before July 28, 2025: Village of Frazeysburg, 7 W 2nd St., Frazeysburg, OH, Ph: 740-828-2901 Attention: Fred Wolford, Mayor. A full description of the project may also be reviewed Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the address listed above. Comments may also be submitted via email at mayor@frazeysburg.com.
