Notice of Explanation of Project Located In a Floodplain
This is to give notice that the Town of Silver Lake has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order (11988 or 11990) in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain will have on the environment. The Town of Silver Lake has determined that there is not a practicable alternative other than locating the proposed Community Development Block Grant project described below in a floodplain.
The project will entail the installation of new storm drainage limes whereas a small section of the line will be buried within a designated 100 year floodplain. The improvements must be located in the floodplain for the greater good of the area; thereby diverting standing surface water from the project beneficiaries’ yards and streets.
By publication of this notice, Town of Silver Lake is inviting any final written comments prior to undertaking the proposed action. All comments should be addressed to Tonya Conley, Town of Silver Lake, 604 North Jefferson Street, Silver Lake, Indiana 46982 on or before August 24, 2017.
