The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has made $894,641 in financial assistance available to Haleyville Water Works and Sewer Board using funds from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Bipartisan Infrastructure Loan program (DWSRF-BIL). 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.
Haleyville Water Works and Sewer Board proposes a project to provide safe drinking water to the customers of its water system. The proposed project will consist of the preparation of a Lead Service Line Inventory for the entire system and the replacement of all lead service lines and “goosenecks” with new copper service lines. Completion of this proposed project will eliminate potential health hazards associated with lead.
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. Kelly Bibb, SRF Section, Permits & Services Division, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 301463, Montgomery, Alabama 36130, no later than 30 days after the date of this public 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 on this 5th day of February, 2025, by authorization of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management.
