DNR Seeking Public Comment For Environmental Review Of Village Of Weston Safe Drinking Water Loan Program Project
?
MADISON, Wis. ? The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today announced the village of Weston is an applicant for funding through the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program to improve its public drinking water system.
This project includes upgrading two of the wells servicing the village of Weston.
Activities related to this project are minor actions under Chapter NR 150, Wis. Admin. Code, for which no environmental analysis is required; however, following the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program federal requirement 40 C.F.R. ?35.3580, an environmental review must be conducted before funding this project.
The Safe Drinking Water Loan Program has determined that this project will not result in significant adverse environmental effects, and no further environmental review or analysis is needed before proceeding with funding the project.
The public is encouraged to submit comments regarding this decision and the potential environmental impacts of this project. Submit comments by April 24, 2024 to:
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources C/O Brian Boelkow, Community Financial Assistance, CF/2 101 S. Webster St. ? P.O. Box 7921 Madison, WI 53707 [email protected]
Based on the comments received, the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the funding process. The analysis would summarize the DNR?s consideration of this project's impacts and reasonable alternatives.
